Austin Purifier Models
Austin air cleaner model platforms include the Austin Air HealthMate for wider rooms, Austin Air HealthMate Jr. for smaller rooms, and Austin Allergy Machines or models from the ‘Plus’ platforms which caters for allergy and asthma sufferers. Heavier models such as the HealthMate 400 may weigh up to 45 pounds but they come with wheels which allow for easier moving and also casters for easier positioning. Models from the ‘Jr’ lines are smaller in size; with the lightest HealthMate Hega at a mere 2.5 pounds, allowing easier lifting and for limited spaces.
 Industry Leading Warranty
When using any air purifiers, customers are always advised to clean the pre-filters regularly to extend the life of their HEPA filters, but when it comes to warranties for HEPA filters, no other company in the air purification industry can top the 5-year limited warranty Austin offers. For those people who are sensitive towards the use of chemicals in the air, Austin air purifiers from the ‘Plus’ line comes equipped with permafilt pre-filters and activated carbon and zeolite units, all aimed to help remove airborne chemicals, including dangerous and odorless ammonia and formaldehyde. The lighter weight models also contains the same filter but is made of woven cloth, hence not adding any extra weight to the unit.
Salt Crystal Lamps
One of more popular natural air purifiers is the salt crystal lamp. The idea behind these salt crystals is that they are natural ionizers which release negative ions into the air naturally. These negative ions will then interact with the positive ions that are caused by working electric devices around the house, such as computer monitors, dryers, TV sets and radios. Thus, a salt crystal lamp acts as a natural air purifier by balancing out the concentration of positive ions within a room and improve the surrounding air quality. Be sure to look for Genuine Himalayan Crystal Salts for best air purifying effects.
Beeswax Candles
Another type of natural purifiers is beeswax candles. When beeswax candles are burnt, the fuel produces negative ions which will then interact with positive ions that exist in the form of tobacco smoke and allergens. These interactions will cause the ions to drop down to the ground and away from the air that we breathe. It is important to get only 100 percent beeswax candles for this to work. Yellow beeswax is a better choice as they are only lightly refined as compared to white beeswax which has been chemically bleached.
And, Believe It or Not…
Finally the last choice for natural air purifiers are indoor house plants. Yes, believe it or not, NASA has discovered that certain plants contain air quality improvement attributes. Just to name a few there is the gerbera daisy, the English ivy, the Spider plant and the Madagascar dragon tree – plants which are capable of absorbing chemicals that are released from cigarette smoke, paint, adhesives and even floor coverings. These chemicals include formaldehyde and benzene, which are capable of causing irritation to the eye and skin and are suspected contributors to anemia and cancer. Having natural greens in the house could turn out to be more than a pretty sight, they could end up saving your life.
