I bought, what looks like, a new ionic air purifier at an estate auction. It did not come with instructions. How do I clean the metal plates inside the machine, that collect the particles out of the air. Thanks for any help

Just wondering what is a good value, good quality filter. I don’t want to spend much over 0 for it. I’ve had some general allergic type issues lately that I’m fairly sure are related to seasonal allergies/pet allergy (Yes, I have a dog and have a mild allergy to pets.. he’s worth it). Please stick with the facts (I.e. how small the particles it can filter are, how much air it moves, how loud the thing is etc…) Thanks for any and all responses!

I live in an older house (about 1100 sq. ft.). We have a terrible mold problem. I’ve been using a HEPA system, but the filters are .00 each, and it takes three of them. I’m interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with the Ionic Pro Turbo air purifier, as to how well it performs, or what is the best, affordable, air purification system.
In the meanwhile, I think I found a better solution. I bought two 20 inch, square, window fans (.85 each). Then, I bought two 20X20 3M Ultra Allergen Filterete furnace filters (.75 each), and simply put them on the back side of the fan.

Man, does it ever filter. It puts out a lot of air, and the filters catch allergenic particles such as mold, and even smoke. So far, it works great. And it sure beats paying 0, for an air purifier, (which is basically just a fan with an allergenic furnace type filter on it anyway), and .00 for replacement filters!

Just to clarify a prior question, I had; I’ve heard that ionized air can be potentially harmful (i.e. free radicals) so I want to avoid air cleaners that ionize air. The 3M Filtrete electrostatic polyolefin-based filters (very common in furnace filters, and now as part of a standalone air purifier) are pre-charged with a static charge to attract dirt, dust, and particles of inflowing air.

My question is, as non-ionized (regular) air travels through the filter (via a simple fan, there is no ionizer involved) is there any way that it could pick up any of the charge on the electrostatic filter, or that the air can become somewhat ionized in any way or form after it leaves the filter? Now, AFAIK, air doesn’t conduct charges well, so my guess would be no, but I’d like to have an expert opinion.

This morning the sun was shining in just right and I saw a lot of particles floating in the air and now I’m really disturbed about this. I am wondering what is the best way to get cleaner indoor air quality at home? We already have the normal filter that every house has for the air conditioner and heater, but I’m thinking I should have something more and wondering if I should buy an air purifier filter? I see some air filters are HEPA and some are not. Is there a difference? Is one better than the other? I read somewhere that someone bought a home air filter and the room started having a weird smell, is that normal?

I have many small animals in a cage. even when its clean the pee and poo smell doesnbt make the house and room smell good. Will an ionic air purifier get rid of that kind of smell, or just larger particles like hair and such. If not, guess ill get something else. Anyone know or had experience?n Its getting irritating.

Different from classic air purifiers, the newer range of air purifiers is introducing a new concept in this field. They function using the technology of ionic breeze. The following video presents you how they work and the advantages of using them.

Now that it is spring, my allergies are getting worse. Does anyone recommend a good air purifier? My biggest concern is the noise level (and of course how well it removes particles). I also do not want an ionic purifier because of the ozone, and they usually are not as effective as HEPA. I have heard of the Blueair air purifiers, but I think they are a little pricey. Are there cheaper but still quiet air purifiers around? Or do you pay what you get? If you have any, please give me some air purifier recommendations.

hi,
my house is on a main road with heavy traffic. So there is a 1 mm of dust inside the house end of every day. To prevent this some one suggested to put airconditioners for the full house, but this will be expensive. Someone suggested that i can buy air purifiers instead can someone clarify the following?

1. if i buy airpurifier and close all windows, how much time it takes for the purifier to clean the air?
2. how frequently should i open the windows to get the fresh air(oxygen) into the house again?
3. Are there any known risks associated with air purifiers because they release a lot of charged particles/ions?
