This question is from FresHome Model P300 True HEPA Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave Technology3 Is the filter washable? This question is from FresHome Model P300 True HEPA Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave Technology2 How often do you need to change the filters? How expensive are they? and are they easy to procure? This question is from FresHome Model P300 True HEPA Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave Technology2 Is there a manual available? The one posted is just the second page of fifteen with table of contents and warranty statement.. This question is from FresHome Model P300 True HEPA Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave Technology2 Placement requirements How far out from a wall/furniture does the unit have to be placed, in order for it to work properly? I don't want it sitting in the middle of a room, and plan on placing it just within 1-2 feet from a wall. Will that be sufficient to effectively run the machine as it is meant to be? 18 posts, read 11,239 times Originally Posted by tickyul
I mean, if you are going to spend money on something that is supposed to clean air....you might as well look into getting the most bang for your buck. There are some key acronyms associated with air purifiers...........these are very important in determining how well an air purifier will clean the designated area. The area size recommendations that are usually on the box do not tell that great of a story(room size or square feet recommendation). Some of the more important terms that are associated with air purifiers are: CFM = cubic feet per minute. CADR = clean air delivery rate (a number, higher is better). Negative Ionization = feature that help clean the air and makes filters last longer. ACH = air changes per hour (this is an important number). In my opinion, if you are going to spend retail for the Clair, about 220 bucks........you can spend a little more or look for the same price range, and get a MUCH better air cleaner. Here is a little primer on air cleaners:
Air Purifier Buying Guide - Choosing the Best Air Purifier Air purifiers can remove a number of airborne irritants, including mold spores, dust, pollen, odors, noxious fumes, bacteria, viruses, pet dander, and more. However, all of these substances require different strategies since there are so many different shapes and sizes of particles to deal with. I will keep this in mind, thank you! But I have a question about the Ionizers -- I've read from my different source that they often produce ozone, which isn't good for you... I understand that some air purifiers don't produce enough ozone to make a difference in health, but I do still have some concerns about it.... In regards to the Clair air purifiers, what exactly about them do you think is not good enough/not worth the price? 11,057 posts, read 10,007,227 times Originally Posted by thebeteam Yeah, all ionizers, from what I have read, produce a very small amount of ozone. I think the best thing to do....is see how you react!
Some people run the ionizer-function all the time and have no problem.....others get a little bit of a sore throat and sinus irritation. But even if you do have problems with the ionizer, just turn it on when you are out of the house, turn off (most ACs have a on/off switch for ionizers) when you get home. Ionizers are very helpful in cleaning the air and extending filter life. Well the Clair has a maximum power rating of 6 watts. The problem with the 6 watt rating is......well, there is a reason it runs at 6 watts. The fan is what is going to use most of the power. If you want to really do a good job of cleaning the air.....you have to have a pretty beefy air intake, that takes power. My moderate sized air cleaner take 100 watts.........I cannot imagine a 6 watt system doing much better than the cheapo, tiny air cleaners I see being sold for 30 bucks, even if it has a fancy filter. IMHO the Clair is just a wimpy air-purifier that make the usual claims about their fancy filter.
Bottom line is, it does not move enough air and it does not have what I consider an essential function, an ionizer. You can do MUCH better......you could probably buy a cheapo 50 dollar air cleaner/ionizer that would do a better job. If you are worried about ozone/ionizers, just get a switchable ionizer function. 128 posts, read 106,471 times 13 posts, read 6,672 times But even if you do have problems with the ionizer, just turn it on when you are out of the house, turn off (most ACs have a on/off switch for ionizers) when you get home. I just purchased a Clair air purifier and can vouch for a fact that it removes dust effectively. When I looked up the latest deal on these fancy looking purifiers online I felt they were too miniscule and would barely do the job but then I went through the literature on the website (Why Clair Air Purifiers? | Go-Clair) and realized that the e2f filter is designed in a manner where it induces the static charge on itself and thereby does not require a powerful fan unlike its other HEPA counterparts .
While ionizers are cheap they require high voltage to operate which in turn results in more power consumption as compared to these purifiers which induce a static charge on the filter itself to attract non-polarized fine dust. In addition to releasing ozone which is a proven lung irritant (Health Effects in Patients with Asthma | Ozone and Your Patients' Health | US EPA) ionic air purifiers don't get rid of dust . This is a brilliant idea, very cheap and easy to build. The only things I would change is putting in a dual-stage pre-filter to make the expensive filter last longer and clean the air a little better. I would also put the filters on the intake side of the box-fan. I see some people removing the box-fan's protective screen on the intake side, to give the fan a little better airflow.....I would probably try that also: This looks very cost effective. I remember rigging up similar stuff like this for a high school project but when it comes to the practicality aspect these DIY air purifiers score very low in the design department .
