What
Are The Advantages of Using an Air Oasis Air Purifier for Allergies
Compared to a Hepa Filter Air Cleaner?
1. Effective Removal of Germs
A. An Air
Oasis air purifier Air Oasis' Nano Nichel HCT PCO, the most powerful
air cleaning technology available. It will destroy the airborne
germs and allergens along with mold spores and
harmful bacteria that are at the source of many odors and allergic
reactions on the spot. As well as surfaces. See
labtests
B. The majority of air purifiers
on the market today rely on using HEPA filters and other filtration
methods. This method is great for larger particles, but
some smaller particles and contaminants simply pass through the
filter. The contaminants trapped in the filter help create better
breeding grounds for additional growth of bacteria and
mold. Therefore, if the filters are not changed frequently the
poor IAQ only becomes worse. Air Oasis' proprietary technology
destroys mold, bacteria, viruses, VOCs, and odors rather than
simply trapping them or allowing them to circulate directly through
the air purifier.
2. Maintenance and Maintenance Cost
A. An Air Oasis Air Purifier requires maintenance
only once up to 3 years. The simple
replacement of the AHPCO cell. The replacement cell price for
the Air Oasis 3000 is $79.00 for 3 years.
B. The Average HEPA air filter has to be replaced at least
once every 3 months for optimal performance.
There are different HEPA companies that advertise that you only
need change the filter once a year. But really how much hair and
dust are going to be able to filter before it is too clogged to
work effectively. At least you are looking at cleaning a filter
once a month which is going to degrade it. And the replacement
of the filter every 6 months. You may be looking at hundreds of
dollars in filter replacements compared to the Air Oasis. If your
HEPA cleaner contains a UV lamp you are also going to have to
consider the cost of replacing that once a year.
3.
Energy Cost
A. An Air
Oasis uses roughly the same amount of energy as a light bulb.
B. A HEPA air cleaner is basically a motor that
pulls to air from the entire room through a filter. Energy costs
will be somewhere around the same as running an air conditioner.
4. Amount of Sq Ft Covered.
A. One Air
Oasis 3000 air purifier will cover up to 3000 sq ft.
B. Most HEPA air purifiers are rated for about
350 sq ft. Some higher end purifiers can handle up to 750 sq ft.
5.
Versatility
A. An Air Oasis air purifier is also a surface
sanitizer that will help keep bacteria from growing on your countertops,
table tops, etc.
B. A HEPA air purifier will do zero to destroy
contaminants on surfaces.
6.
Noise
A. Air Oasis Stand Alone Units utilize a whisper
quiet fan comparable to a computer fan.
The Air Oasis Nano Induct creates zero noise.
B. HEPA air cleaners are known for their blanket
of "White Noise" Some manufacturers advertise it as
a calming noise to help babies sleep. Remember that HEPA ratings
are based on the fan in the units staying on high all the time.
Yes a fan kept on high is noisy.
7.
Will A HEPA air purifier work in concert with an Air Oasis?
A. Absolutely.
A HEPA filter in conjunction with a Air Oasis will help remove
hair and larger particles
that the Air Oasis will not do alone. But because the Air Oasis
is extremely effective at destroying bacteria, viruses, allergens,
as well as mold spores and VOC's, We recommend you purchase a
cheaper filter purifier from your local Walmart if you decide
you absolutely need it. The reason is that with the Air Oasis
running you do not need the expensive true HEPA filters because
you are only trying to trap large particulates like hair and dust,
The Air Oasis will get the rest. So save your self the expense
and get something cheap with cheap replacements.
