A favorite among restorers, our AllerAir 5000 Pro Exec Air Purifier provides the flexibility of a compact unit, with the power and unique features of a professional air cleaner. It is an ideal unit for contactors looking for a rugged, yet portable unit which addresses chemicals, particles and odor. It has two handlers either side, stubby power card, heavy duty nylon wheels and yellow with safety black stripe for easy visibility. This features five stages of filtration to neutralize chemicals, gases, mold spores, tough odors and particles. The filtration system that contains MAC-B Carbon, medical grade HEPA, and prodense Pre-Filter. The easy clean pro filter stops larger particles from clogging the HEPA and can be cleaned with a vacuum. The medical grade true HEPA filter, warm rolled to prevent cracking at the folds and traps 99.97 Percent of all airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. The 18 Pounds 2-1/2 inch Mac-B granulated virgin carbon bed for maximum dwell time and adsorption. The two anti-microbial filters prevent the growth of microorganisms.
Air Flow and Your AllerAir Air Purifier We've noticed over the years that clients are very particular when it comes to using their AllerAir unit. Some like to run it 24/7, others only at night, some like to run it on high for a few hours then leave it on low for the rest of the day. So is there a science to choosing your air flow rate? We took this question to our technical department and here's what we learned:
Particles: Technically speaking, dust, pollen, hair and other airborne particles actually respond well to a higher setting. That's because the air is drawn-in at a faster rate which make the particles "smack" into the fibrous web of the HEPA filter with greater force. This increases the chance that they'll get stuck in the HEPA. Using the high setting for a few hours may be an excellent "quick fix" strategy if you've just finished brushing your pet or are cleaning out a dusty space, but our technical expert was quick to point out that over the long term it's just as effective to keep your unit on and running on low. This will provide a continuous flow of air that will help keep the air fresh.
Chemicals and Odors: For chemical and odor concerns there is a definite consensus ??? low is the way to go. That's due to the specific nature of the activated carbon used in AllerAir air purifiers. Activated carbon contains millions of tiny pores and fissures that trap chemicals, gases and odors. The longer these pollutants are forced to "hang around" in the carbon bed, the better chance they have of being adsorbed. When you select the low speed, the air passes at a slower rate through the carbon filter, therefore giving the pollutants "dwell" time allowing them to be adsorbed more efficiently. This process is also helped along by AllerAir's deeper carbon beds.
Particles, Chemicals and Odors: For a general improvement in air quality it's best to run the unit continuously on low. This ensures that you always have a constant flow of clean air. If you're concerned about energy costs, you'll be happy to know that most of our residential units draw the same energy as a 40 watt light bulb! That means even with 24-hour use it only costs pennies a day to operate!
