What is a condition that 50 million US residents suffer from? Allergies, approximately more than half of the population suffers from at least one allergen. Despite the large amount of people who suffer from allergies very few are aware of any way to remove the allergy symptoms from their life. Many are left completely oblivious that there are products built specifically to prevent the symptoms of allergies. A product especially amazing at removing contaminates from the air and preventing allergic reactions is the IQAir HealthPro Plus.
What is a condition that 50 million US residents suffer from? Allergies, approximately more than half of the population suffers from at least one allergen. Despite the large amount of people who suffer from allergies very few are aware of any way to remove the allergy symptoms from their life. Many are left completely oblivious that there are products built specifically to prevent the symptoms of allergies. A product especially amazing at removing contaminates from the air and preventing allergic reactions is the IQAir HealthPro Plus. Is the IQAir a way to get rid your house of allergy and asthma symptoms? Absolutely, the HyperHEPA Filtration found in the IQAir purifier has the ability to remove the source of allergic reactions such as particles, pollen, dust, dust mites, dust mites feces, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and other various harmful particles from the air. Capturing all of these particles found in the air makes it easier to breath and gives you a healthier household. How would you define a HyperHEPA filter and what makes it different from the average filter? Regular HEPA filters have the ability to filter out 99.5% of dangerous particles at a size of 0.3 microns from the air and although impressive, 90 percent of the particles in the air are smaller than 0.3 microns; making many filtration systems using a standard HEPA filter ineffective of trapping and destroying particulates such as viruses, smoke, etc. Another advantage the IQAir has over other air purifiers is that it is a well-engineered piece of equipment. Unlike other filtration systems the IQAir will not leak harmful particles back into the air due to the system not being sealed or designed in a proper manner. The difference between the IQAir and a standard filter is effectiveness at which it works. The IQAir filters at a staggering 99.5% at 0.003 microns, making the IQAir 100 times more effective than the average HEPA filter. 0.003 Microns is small but what if the particles get through the filters because they are less than the specified size? Anything at a smaller size then 0.003 microns is a gas, and is much smaller then even the smallest of viruses. IQAir is the first filtration system to be certified under one of the strictest filter standard tests: the EN 1822. What about the particulates that are less than 0.003 Microns what happens to them? Anything lower then a 0.003 Micron is a gas. This means that IQAir's pioneering of technology has the ability to remove virtually all particles, bacteria and viruses from the air. The IQAir works so well it is actually the first air purifier to pass one of the harshest filtration tests in the world: the EN 1822. Exactly what is the number of filters the IQAir contains and how often do I have to change the filters? The IQAir Health Pro Plus combines the effectiveness of 3 filters: The PreMax Pre-Motor Filter, The V-5 Cell Gas and Odor Eliminator and a HyperHepa Filter. The responsibility of the first filter is to remove 90% of particles from the air. Since this filter comes in contact with so many particles it is important to change this filter on a regular basis, on average every six to eighteen months. The V-5 Cell Gas and Odor Eliminator become inactive after a period of time so needs to be changed every 2 years to 5 years. For optimal results the HyperHEPA filter should be replaced with a new one approximately every 2 to 5 years, as the HyperHEPA filter eventually gets filled with tiny particle that were not caught by the PreMax Pre-Motor Filter. Having the consumer in mind the IQ Air displays exactly when the filters need to be changed on the top panel. The amount of time you have until your filters need changing will be displayed clearly in hours, so there is no guessing when you need to change your filter or marking your calendar with the time you last bought or changed your filters. Additionally the IQAir HealthPro Plus includes a 5-year warranty, and has incredibly low maintenance fees. For all the things the IQAir does it must be a very loud machine. Is that true? The IQAir is a whisper-quiet machine due to ingenious engineering built into the filtration system such as double wall housing and eight vibrations absorbing rubber. The machine is also engineered to be quiet unlike other air filters because the fan is centrally located, allowing the filters to absorb any excess noise which may occur. Who exactly uses an IQAir? Places where cleanliness is a primary concern such as hospitals, doctors, dentists, and other places where impeccable air quality is a necessity. The IQAir was used to fight against the SARS virus, since IQAir is capable of capturing all viruses at an efficiency of 99.9%. A more recent example of the IQAir being used is the 2008 Beijing Olympics, to clean the polluted air found there. A truly incredible product, the IQAir severely reduces the amount of odors, particles, gases, pollutants and triggers of allergenic symptoms. When placed in your home the IQAir can tremendously cut down on the amount of asthmatic and allergic symptoms you experience. Even if asthma and allergies are not a concern to you the IQAir can still help by increasing your health by removing harmful particles found in the air. The average person on a daily basis breathes in a large amount of particles, in fact a person breathes in 2 spoonfuls of particles every day. With the IQAir you will increase your health by removing toxic and harmful particles from the air you breathe leaving you with a clean and fresh household.
