While buying
an air purifier for their home or business, many people tend to make some
mistakes. Here are the things that you need to keep in mind when you buy a wall-mounted air purifier for
your home or a commercial air cleaner
for your business.
When air is
pushed through an air purifier at a high rate, the filters are unable to remove
extra toxins which mean you are exposed longer to them. If your air purifier
used HEPA filter, a strong motor may prove damaging over time as it will rip
the strands making up the filter, which will decrease the efficiency of air
purifier. However, one of the most important filters is the
granular activated carbon for the removal of chemicals and odors.
2. Avoid
buying the purifier with less than a 2.5-inch deep carbon bed
Make sure to
never buy an air purifier that doesn’t have enough carbon because activated
carbon is the most important filter. Just because a manufacturer says that
their unit features an activated carbon filter, doesn’t mean that it is true.
Many manufacturers only spray a thin layer of activated carbon over the mesh. A
long-lasting and effective carbon filter features a deep bed of activated
carbon and offers at least 2.5 inches of diagonal filtration to maximize the
filtration capacity.
3. Avoid
buying an air purifier that is not proven
The next
important thing to avoid is to never buy an air purifier that hasn’t been
proven to work. Ask the dealer for proof, reviews and dig out all the necessary
information. This is basically a part of your normal research.
Whether you
are buying a wall-mounted air purifier or
a commercial air cleaner, buying
an air purifier is a great investment and it should last a long time. Therefore
make sure to choose wisely.
