AIR CONTROL: WHICH AIR PURIFIER TO CHOOSE?

Clean air in the house can be attributed to the basic physiological needs. And if you do not live in a clean suburb or at least near a park, then most of likely you need an air cleaner. Modern manufacturers create and modify such devices in huge quantities, adding the necessary (or not?) Functions of ultrasound, humidification and so on, to infinity, changing the shapes, sizes, and the number of filters, thus completely confusing the buyer. Let's figure out which air purifiers now exist and why they are needed.

AIR CLEANING FROM DUST: WATER APPROACH

Myths in the field of air purification are no less than in show business. 🙂But for the most part, all air purifiers consist of a fan that this air drives through a gadget and a filter system. And it is in the latter and all the differences begin. First, we divide all cleaning systems into two types:

  • water
  • dry

The air purifier for an apartment is most often attempted to combine with a humidifier, which has already created some confusion between these devices. However, the usual humidifier does not purify the air, but only fills it with moisture, and from such appliances, the proud title of "air cleaner" can only be washed by air. The air cleaner for this type of house actually "washes" the air, driving it through the water curtain. At the same time, under the action of water, dust and other small contaminants settle on the cleaning discs. Air cleaning with the help of a sink occurs together with moisturizing, which adds to these gadgets popularity. All air wash works according to the same principle and differs in size, fan capacity, and availability of additional functions. Most often, air disinfection is introduced into the sink.
Therefore, such an air purification system is often supplemented with a UV lamp for safety. How safe is this technology, we already said in another blog article
In addition, the sinks themselves work quite sedately and calmly, they should not be expected to quickly clean the room, remove smells and tiny particles of contaminants and allergens.
