There are several different types of filterless air purifiers on the market and each company, naturally, wants prospective customers to believe that its product is better than the competition. To achieve this goal, companies spend a great deal of money on various marketing promotions that tout the benefits and downplay any drawbacks. Often, a company will utilize important-sounding scientific studies to back up their claims of having the best product. For consumers, all the hype means that careful research should be done before making a final decision. Fortunately, research is easy to do. Many websites provide helpful information on how purifying units operate. One of the most well-known consumer protection companies has conducted its own experiments and evaluation of various types of filterless air purifiers. The findings of this company may help consumers in the decision-making process. Seeking good advice is wise. King Solomon wrote: "When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things" (Proverbs 2:10-12). Though manufacturers aren't necessarily evil, their advertising could be equated to a man speaking "froward things." The wise person finds out the truth behind the hype before making a major purchasing decision.
A purifier of any type, generally speaking, draws in stale air and cleanses it from any impurities. For example, cooking odors and cigarette smoke are actually microscopic particles floating in the atmosphere. A person who has pet allergies is actually reacting to the microscopic pet dander located on the pet and floating near the animal and throughout the room. These particles get inside people's noses and lungs as they breathe. For people with allergies, breathing in such allergens causes discomfort and, in more severe cases, even illness. Using filtered or filterless air purifiers can help those with allergies because the units cleanse the atmosphere. People with asthma or other breathing conditions may also find it useful to have such a unit in room where they spend a lot of time. For example, many people enjoy having a purifying unit in the bedroom. Some units have fans that make a soft whirring noise. The fans can be either a blessing or a curse. Some individuals like the white noise effect of a whirring fan. They sleep better having the fan on. Other individuals find the noise disturbs their sleep.
The filterless air purifiers operate using different technologies. Most do not have fans as part of the unit. The most common type is probably the electronic or electrostatic purifier. This type of unit uses static electricity and opposite charges to trap odor particles and other contaminants in a collection system. Another popular purifier emits ions into the room or house. An ionic unit doesn't really capture impurities the way the electrostatic unit does. Instead, the ionized particles come together into clumps. The heavy clump of particles falls to the floor or adheres to the walls or furniture. A person may not be able to see the clumps, but make no mistake they are in the room. Technology provides additional options to consumers. A photocatalytic purifier uses oxidants to eliminate odor particles and other atmospheric contaminants. Plasmacluster ionic units actually use positive and negative charges to destroy impurities by floating particles on water molecules. This type of technology is often combined with filters or ozone. The technology being used to improve filterless air purifiers is actually quite fascinating. It's also rather amazing, and disconcerting, to realize how much microscopic activity is going on under our very noses with particles becoming clumps and floating on water molecules.
A filtered system uses, as the name suggests, some type of filter to capture and trap impurities and contaminants. Practically every homeowner knows that an important part of proper home maintenance is either replacing or cleaning the heating/ac unit's filters on a regular basis. The bother of cleaning and the cost of replacing filters are marketing points used by the manufacturers of filterless air purifiers. But the claims are a tad bit misleading. Most, if not all, filterless units also require some type of cleaning or maintenance in order to work efficiently. An uncleaned filterless unit can not do the job it's intended to do when trapped particles become too many or too large. In fact, the trapped impurities may be blown back into a room if the purifier is ignored for too long.
Both filtered and filterless air purifiers utilize technology to clean a room or home from impurities and contaminants. Both types of units will need maintenance and cleaning to function properly. Before making a purchasing decision, the wise consumer will want to do thorough research on exactly how a particular purifier operates. The consumer may wish to consider such factors as whether a fan is part of the unit and, if so, the amount of noise the fan creates. Cost will almost certainly be a primary factor when making a purchase. The consumer will want to consider the initial cost as well as related costs for cleaning and maintenance. Buying replacement filters can be costly, but usually the initial cost of a filtered purifier is much less than a filterless unit. The consumer will need to balance these expenses. Another important factor is the size of the room that needs to be purified. Naturally, the larger units will purify larger areas; however, they also cost more. These are all important factors when evaluating filtered and filterless air purifiers. But with careful research and thought, a consumer should be able to make a good purchasing decision.
