How does an AllerAir air purifier work?

An AllerAir air purifier cleans your indoor air in several steps:

  • A pre-filter removes larger particles
  • The HEPA traps 99.97% of fine airborne particles
  • The deep-bed activated carbon filter adsorbs airborne chemicals, gases and odors

Activated carbon works like a sponge to soak up airborne chemicals, gases and odors. The capacity of that “sponge” depends on its depth and size. The more activated carbon used in an air purifier, the more chemicals, gases and odors it can adsorb.

Why you need carbon for chemicals & odors

Most air purifiers are designed for dust removal. They're equipped with HEPA filters which can't remove airborne chemicals, gases and odors. To remove these types of pollutants you need special filtration with a significant depth. 

AllerAir's deep-bed activated carbon filters attract and trap chemicals and odors safely and effectively and remove a wide range of chemicals and odors including VOCs, formaldehyde, benzene, common household odors, pet odors and more. 

How does activated carbon work?

Used on the world’s most hazardous airborne pollutants, activated carbon is one of the safest and most effective filtration methods in use today.

Activated carbon actually attracts pollutants and traps them in millions of tiny pores and fissures. The surface area in activated carbon is so extensive, that if you could spread out all of the microscopic openings found in only one teaspoon of activated carbon, it would cover an entire football field. This unique quality allows carbon remove very large amounts of chemicals, gases and odors.

Filters with only a small amount of carbon or carbon dust sprayed onto mesh won't have as many openings for pollutants to be trapped and can quickly be saturated. This results in most frequent filter changes and ineffective filtration.

AllerAir filter last on average 2 to 5 years, depending on the pollution level.
