Quiet HEPA Air Purifier - 3 Tips for Finding the Right One

Finding a quiet HEPA air purifier means your indoor air quality will stay at its freshest without the noise sometimes associated with a high efficiency particle arresting air purifier. Here are 3 tips for making sure your purifier is a HEPA and will remove the pollutants you want, and that it will function quietly.

• 1. First determine how much sound the air purifier will make on each speed. To do this, look for a decibel rating in the technical specifications for the purifier. A decibel is a measurement of sound and is usually designated by (dB). Total silence is measured at 0 decibels, a whisper is approximately 15 (dB), and normal conversation is about 60 (dB). Having the decibel measurements for each of the air flow speeds of the purifier will give you an accurate idea of how much sound the purifier is like to make on each of the air flow speeds.

• 2. Next, you will want to be sure that the purifier is a high efficiency particle arresting air purifier. This means that the filter should remove pollutants that are as small as .3 and some HEPA purifiers will remove pollutants as small as .1 micron in size. A micron is defined as a one millionth of a meter. And to give you some idea of pollutant size, one inch is 25,400 microns. In microns pollen is 10-1,000, dust mites are 100-300, copier toner is .5 up to 15. Check to see what the smallest size particle is that the air purifier will remove.

• 3. Having the decibel rating and the micron size will certainly help point you in the right direction for a quiet HEPA air purifier, but there is nothing let seeing for yourself how the product will work in your home or office. Select a company that will allow you to try the air purifier for 30 days with a money back guarantee. That way you can be certain you have chosen the best air purifier for you and your family.

Checking the decibel and micron rating, and choosing a company with a 30 day trial period will help insure that you bring home the best quiet HEPA air purifier for you and your family.

Take good care,
