The UV isn’t meant to kill the mild spores passing through, it’s meant to kill the ones sitting trapped in the hepa filter.

Learned about this after the video - however many brands market it differently. But UV is for the bacteria though, not the spores. I don’t think UV can kill mold spores.

Still doesn't seem as worthwhile to pay extra for the ability to kill things that would hopefully not escape the filter to begin with. If they are escaping then the UV would still not have enough time to kill them anyways.

I’m buying a filter for the first time. The brand is Levoit, which I’ve enjoyed their humidifier. This is what they say about the filter system: “3-Stage Filtration: The Nylon Pre-Filter traps large particles, the H13 True HEPA Filter removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in size, and the High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter helps neutralize smoke, odors, and fumes.”. It sounds good with the HEPA and carbon filter…but I don’t really know. It also doesn’t describe anything about UV and Ions. I mainly want this to remove dust particles in the air.
@healthyholistichomes
@healthyholistichomes Жыл бұрын
Thats a good choice; we also have one small Levoit unit. The only caveat is what size apt is it rates for, what is your home layout and what your goal with it is. Cause it’s very likely that you need multiple units.

ACTUALLY: I am a person more sensitive to dry air caused by overcharged AC or Dehumidifiers. I have an Air oasis unit and been using it for years. It puts out negative ions. It doesn't make it too dry for me, and also it smells very very mildly of ozone if you put your nose ontop of it. Otherwise from a couple feet away you're fine and it's not toxic! Just sharing. I love Air Oasis.

@@laremabella It's a very tricky subject. They can claim to clean the mold spores out of the air and it surely does help, but ultimately, you'll need to take care of the root of the problem. There's also the question of what happens to the spores inside the filter. When we had a mold issue in Portugal, for example, once we moved (which was literally within days), we threw away and replaced all of the filters. Good luck with tackling the mold! :)

There's many good ones :) just get anything with a real HEPA filter and no other bells & whistles. But you need to figure out your airflow and how many units you need around the house - they don't clean air well in other rooms.

If you want the best bang for the buck, buy a 20x20 box fan, a roll of packing tape and a 4 pack of 2" thick MERV 13 filters. You will have enough filtration to remove everything harmful in 2 large rooms for 2 years for under $100. And if you have a dusty project you can turn the fan up from the lowest speed.

box fan motors are not made to withstand the filters on them and will eventually burn the motor out. I have tried this 2 times and both fan motors slowly starter to get slower until they wouldn't turn anymore

@@EmergencyChannel Oh nice. thanks for the 411. I always use a 20x20 box fan by me but they get so dusty thats when I thought of putting a cheap 99 cent filter on it and the motor would die. I wonder how lasco got over this issue with a merv 10 filter.

Quickly looking at it, I don't think it's a great option. The ionizers also produce ozone as a byproduct. Mostly all air purifiers work as long as they have a true hepa filter.
