Air Purifier GO!

Alive Air Purifier

I’m not an asthma sufferer but 3 out 5 people close to me suffer from the condition.  It is hard to be around them because their asthma triggers are usually invisible to the naked eye and once they’re hit, they’re hit bad.  They either end up taking tabs, puffs or get nebulized in worst-case scenarios.  There have been known side effects of these medicines, thankfully I haven’t witnessed any of my friends of family getting to that end and I would prefer not to ever have to witness that.

I’ve read online that air purifiers can help asthma sufferers and so I looked it up.  There are actually different kinds of air purifiers for asthma and allergy and it is overwhelming to have to pick among the many choices you are afforded of.  You have to know what the triggers are because each allergen can’t be addressed by a single form of filtration.  Carbon filter, for example, are only good for adsorption of fumes or smoke but it can’t do anything to molds or bacteria and pet dander or pollen; you will need a UV light irradiation system or an ionizer and pre-filter or electrostatic dust plate for the last two, respectively.

There plenty of factors to consider too before you purchase and one of which that I am particularly concerned of is the noise level of the machines.  It seems that the more sophisticated the filtration system of an air purifier, the louder it gets and the pricier!  Having said, you have to be the wise shopper and do your research.

Intelli-Pro Air Purifier

So far I’ve seen very sophisticated air purifiers that incorporate six of the leading technologies used in today’s air purifiers including the pre filter, HEPA filter, activated carbon filter, germicidal UV lamp, ionizer and electronic dust collection plates or grids.  Air purifiers with these six stages are often times referred to as the 9-stage system because they also have air pollution sensors that automatically switches your air purifier’s performance , diagnostic sensor alerts that will warn you when it’s time to wash the filters and Anion Continuous Negative Ion Generation that creates healthy properties of negative ions.

The Alive Air Purifier, Advance Pure Air Newport 9000 Air Purifier and the Surround Air XJ-3800 Intelli-Pro Air Purifier have all these features and they come highly recommended.  They are my top picks for this category.  These latest models of 9-stage systems are quiet, compact and they are very easy on the eyes, if not eye candies, with their modern designs.  Lastly, these air purifiers are reasonably priced; great options for home use.
