HEPA Filter For Birds

A HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter by definition must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particulates that are .3 microns or greater, with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter.  This type of filtration is safe and produces no ozone or ionized particles.

 

And since birds typically produce invisible, micron-sized dander as well as other visible pollutants such as dust and feathers, it makes sense to have a cleaner that is effective at removing these airborne particles. 

 If you are lucky enough to own a powder down bird such as a Cockatoo, African Grey, or Cockatiel you are dealing with a white powder in addition to all the usual particles that our avian friends can produce.

The HEPA filter is a very specialized filter and should be really used just to eliminate invisible particles.  So multiple filters that can remove the bigger particles would save the time and expense of having to constantly replace this expensive filter.

The Bird Dust Air Purifier is set up with this concept in mind.  There are 3 other filters in addition to the HEPA that are designed to remove big to medium size particles.  These are known as the large and medium pre-filter. 

And just as the name implies they are filters that come before the HEPA, so they are the first line of defense against the visible particles.

The presence of these additional filters means that you will have fewer filter changes, and longer filter life.  In addition to the HEPA and 2 pre-filters, this air cleaner also contains carbon cloth which has dual advantages. 

Because this filter is made of carbon, it can remove noxious odors, gases, and airborne chemicals; and because it is woven like a cloth, it can remove additional particles.

With a 4-stage filtration process, the Bird Dust Air Purifier will go a long way towards keeping the air clean for your birds and you.

Aviary Air Cleaners

If you are a bird lover, you know that one of the best things you can give your bird is air that is as clean as possible. Of course this makes sense on an emotional level, but because of the way birds’ respiratory systems are made it is a must.

Birds have incredibly efficient respiratory systems which is both good and bad. But because their respiratory passages are so small, it doesn’t take much in the air to clog them. Once they become clogged, it is often the first step towards disease and infection.

Instinct keeps birds from showing weakness to avoid becoming prey to other animals in the wild. And even though they are in your home, that instinct to appear to remain strong can make it next to impossible to discover illness until it is often impossible to reverse.

Using the right air cleaner in your aviary to keep the air clear of particles and odors is the most effective way to keep you and your pet healthy. Bird dander, dust, and feathers are typical of the kinds of particulates your bird generates.

A HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter is incredibly efficient at eliminating these airborne particulates as small as .3 microns. A HEPA doesn’t care about the source, so the good news is that it will also remove more normal household pollutants (typically allergens) like dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria, and viruses.

This type of technology is safe because it only creates clear air. This is important for birds that are incredibly sensitive to gases and odors. Speaking of gases and odors, a carbon cloth filter is as efficient at removing gaseous pollutants as the HEPA is at removing particles.

Carbon cloth was originally created by the British Military as a defense against chemical warfare. This is an excellent filter to have in a cleaner for birds to help minimize the gases, chemicals, and odors that can hang around in the air.

Having multiple filters for particles all in one cleaner for the aviary is ideal. See the air cleaner for birds that has both a HEPA and carbon cloth filter, plus 2 other filters for particles now at http://purerair.com/bird_dust_air_purifier.html

Filtering Bird Dander

Bird dander can be a major health issue for both your bird and you. These microscopic flakes of dead skin can cause serious respiratory issues for birds because they have such small air passages.

Dander also functions as carriers of bacteria and viruses that, when airborne, can be inhaled and/or ingested by all who share the space.

Actively filtering the air of bird dander and dust is a health concern that is addressed by professional bird people by continuously filtering the air with a filter that is able to trap airborne particulates and viruses. Continually filtering the air insures that particulate levels remain low and do not cause problems that can prematurely shorten life spans of birds in captivity.

PurerAir.com continues to supply the Joshua Rescue Foundation for Birds as well as the Theater of the Sea Aviary in Islamorada, Florida with medical grade air purifiers that do just that. Keeping air passages of both birds and humans clear can only have positive results for all.
