Ionic Air Purifier Is Quiet And Energy Efficient
By Joel F Morningstar
For anyone who deals with the annoyance of allergies, sinus conditions,
asthma or other respiratory problems, a home air purifier should
be strongly considered for your household.
If it happens that you are someone who likes to have the most
high-tech devices in your home, then you will want to check out
an ionic air purifier to address your air purification needs.
The ionic air purifier first took center stage with a huge marketing
effort by the large cataloger and retailer Shaper Image, with
their Ionic Breeze Air Purifier.
Improved Technology And Marketing Muscle
While similar technology for air purification had existed before,
Sharper Image made some advancements in design and had the marketing
muscle to make their air purifiers a household name in no time.
Ever since Shaper Image introduced their ionic air purifier to
the market, other companies have been scrambling to bring their
own versions of the technology to the market as well, all operating
on similar principles.
Electrostatic Plates Instead Of Filters
Unlike the HEPA air purifiers that have been on the market longer
and are more common, the ionic purifiers are not based on the
use of filters as the primary way to cleanse the air.
Instead, ionic air purifier technology relies on the use of electrostatic
plates to apply charge to the pollutants in the atmosphere of
the home.
Wipe Off Contaminants From The Collector Blades
When the charged particles pass through the unit, they are electrostatically
attracted to collector blades inside the unit. Then the indoor
pollutants can be simply wiped off the collection blades for easy
disposal of the contaminants.
Another difference between the ionic air purifier technology
and the typical HEPA air cleaners is that these units do not depend
on fans to circulate the air, but instead use the electrostatic
technology to pull air through the device.
Extremely Quiet And Energy Efficient
This allows the air purifiers to operate virtually in silence.
They can run continuously without adding to the noise level in
the home and consequently, cause no interference with sleep.
Because of the lack of fans in the ionic air purifier systems,
these machines are also extremely energy efficient, using much
less electricity to operate on a daily basis than their counterparts
with blowers.
More Expensive But Save On Reduced Maintenance Costs
This helps to greatly lower the cost of operating these units
and since air purifiers must be run everyday around the clock,
this can add up to significant savings over the course of a year.
Another area of savings that you will enjoy by using an ionic
air purifier, is that no replacement filters will ever be needed.
With HEPA air purifiers, the filters must be replaced on a regular
basis in order to maintain a high level of efficiency and effectiveness
in pulling the dangerous pollutants from the air. This cost can
add up greatly over the life of the machine.
The ionic air purifier units are more expensive than the HEPA
filtered units, but over time, you will save money in ongoing
operation and maintenance costs.
Seal Your Windows And Doors For Most Effective Contaminant Removal
There are some refurbished units available that can save you
some money, as well as smaller units that are less expensive that
could be used in the area of the home where you spend the bulk
of your time. There are also other ionic air purifiers on the
market that claim to offer better value, such as the Ionic Pro
purifier.
In order to enjoy the best effectiveness from the ionic air purifier
that you have in your house, you should always be sure to review
your options and keep the house closed up, leaving doors and windows
sealed. What this does is, help the purifier remove most contaminants
from the trapped air.
