Purified Air
The prior owners were heavy smokers and that lingered across the house. Since we moved in in the winter months, we weren’t able to have our windows open and the lack of unpolluted air would cause us to get sore throats and stuffy noses during the night. So we looked into buying a air purifier.
Air cleaners that do not have filters are called as filterless air cleaners. Filterless air purifiers are as good as the air purifiers with filters. The majority of the filterless air purifiers don’t use fans. They work on different technologies. Using filterless air purifiers is beneficial, because they save your money that you’ll have to spend on purchasing or replacing the air filters. They’re split into four major types, according to the methodologies used. In these air filters, dust particles are drawn inside the purifier by fans. These particles are later charged with some high voltage wires, which later get interested in electrically charged electrostatic metal plates. Many of these air purifiers produce ozone as a byproduct. There are no filter or fans in the photocatalytic air purifiers. They look like a single coated florescent light bulb. In the photocatalytic air purifier, ultra violet light causes metal semiconductors to provide oxidants. These oxidants are able breaking the molecular bonds, that exist in the micro-organisms. They remove even small dust particles, chemicals, and odours present in the air. They’re also called as UV air filters.
The Holmes Air Purifier draws in air from the room and runs it through the filter, cleaning out any dust, mould, etc. We ran the purifier all winter and it kept our room smelling fresh until it warmed up enough for us to open our windows and air the room out absolutely. While I am often happy with the Holmes air cleaner, I will admit there are a few things I might change about it.
I already mentioned the noise factor with the hepa vacuum cleaners. The Holmes purifier runs much louder than I expected it to. We were able to get used to it after a bit but I know there are some folk that doubtless won’t be able to. The second problem I noticed might just be due to the cig smoke that was in our room but we found ourselves having to switch the filter much more often than the book claimed we would need to. This would not be a huge deal but HEPA filters are not inexpensive.
One thing more I spotted about our room when we were running the Holmes air cleanser was, although the air was certainly tidier, it appeared to be drier too. Whenever we run it for a serious period, I’ll almost always wake up in the middle of the night with a nose bleed. I really had to start running a humidifier at the same time to fix this problem.
