Birds and HEPA Filters

If you share your life with a bird, you probably have constant entertainment and lots of reasons to smile. You probably also have far more particles in the air than the normal home.

And if your bird is a powder down bird such an African Grey, Cockatoo, or Cockatiel in addition to feathers, dust, and dander, you also know about the white wing dust they produce.

Sometimes when the household pollutants such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and seasonal pollen combine with the bird-related particles, it can seem as though you’re fighting a losing battle.

Without a reliable way to clear the air of these particles, the air is never clean.

So using a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filter is an ideal filter for this situation. By definition it must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles that are .3 microns or greater in size. And a micron is defined as one millionth of a meter.

PurerAir.com offers a filter that is designed for particles removal. Not only does it have a HEPA but 3 additional filters for getting rid of a wide range of particle sizes.

HEPA Filters And Allergies

In the air purification industry the term HEPA is used a lot. It is an abbreviation made by using the first letters of the words high efficiency particle arresting.

This type of filter is designed to remove airborne particles, and as its name suggests it is incredibly effective at eliminating them.

To be more specific, it must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles that can be as small as .3 microns with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter.

This is why it is such an effective solution for those with airborne allergies because many of the triggers that cause life-interrupting symptoms are particles.

Irritants such as household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria, viruses, and seasonal pollens are some of the most potent allergens known, and this type of filtration can remove them.

PurerAir.com offers an allergy air purifier with a high efficiency particle arresting filter, 2 pre-filters (for large and medium size particles), and carbon cloth. Having the carbon cloth as the 4th filter in this purifier gives a dual benefit.

Not only will carbon cloth remove gaseous pollutants that can also trigger allergies such as smoke, and airborne chemicals; it is also able to remove additional particulates because of its woven structure.

Austin Air Replacement Filters---Top 3 Questions Answered

Austin Air replacements lasts so long that it’s easy to misplace the information about the filters by the time you’re ready for a new filter. Here are answers to the 3 most frequent questions that we are often asked here at PurerAir.com

1. How can I tell if the filter needs replacing?

Your nose knows when the filter is at the end of its life. A carbon filter that is full will put out a sweet odor. And even if it doesn’t, anytime the air smells anything but fresh, and clean when your purifier is running is an indication that your filter is full.

2. Can I replace the filter with a different filter than the original one?

If your purifier is a standard size and was made after 1995, then your case is big enough to hold any of the newer replacement filters including the Pet Machine and the Bedroom Machine filters.

The same is true for junior size purifiers. If it was made after 1995, you can replace your filter with any junior size filter.

However, if your filter was made before 1995 (and there are plenty of them out there that still work), the case is only big enough for the HEGA or Allergy Machine replacement filter.

3. What difference does the light or dark-colored filter make?

This color choice is totally aesthetic. For purifiers that are white or sandstone, a light-colored pre-filter makes the unit look more cohesive through the tiny holes on the bottom two thirds of the unit. And if your purifier is Black or Silver, the dark-colored pre-filter looks better. They both work the same way.
