Air purifiers equipped with three stages of filtration can cause problems during filter replacements. This is why Lumipure air purifiers have been designed without the need for filter replacements, in addition to the incorporation of the most numbers of combined indoor air purifying technologies.

Features Of Lumipure Air Purifiers

The Lumipure Permanent Filter air purifier carries out air purification processes through an electrostatic filtration system, a HEPA filter, the patented Permanent Filter by Lumipure as well as a germicidal ultraviolet light. Each filtration stage is targeted at clearing different pollutants such as smoke and dust, pollen and pet dander. In addition, the three speed controls for the fan helps to suck air into the air purifier during the filtration process and is also claimed to be ultra quiet.

Lumipure PurifierThis filtration machine stands a little over two feet tall and seven inches in diameter and is made available in white or black. Apart from that, the cylindrical shape design is rather unique amongst air purifiers as it allows the air purifier to be placed neatly at a corner.

How Does A Lumipure Purifier Work?

  1. The electrostatic filter charges up particles in the air so that these particles will be attracted to the filter, thus increasing the filtration rate. This process will help eliminate odors from tobacco smoke as well as pollutants such as dust.
  2. Secondly, the HEPA filter which is capable of a higher degree of filtration, will filter out smaller particulates which passes through it. The Permanent Filter works by removing harmful particles from the filtered air going through their cylinder.
  3. Lastly, the ultraviolet light further sanitizes the cleaned air by killing off airborne bacteria and viruses within seconds. Ultraviolet light-bulbs will only need to be replaced after 10,000 hours of use, translating to 13 months of 24-hour, 7 days a week usage. Additionally, two ultraviolet lightbulbs come with every purchase of the Lumipure air purifier.

Based on the indicator, users can then choose between the three different fan speeds to purify the air in the room: Whisper Clean (good), Medium (fair) and Quick Clean (bad air quality). If users find the Quick Clean noise annoying, they should then leave the Quick Clean mode on for a couple of heavy-duty air purifying hours, and then switch to either one of the two slower speeds to maintain air quality.

Biozone air purifiers are renowned for their safety, high sanitation and effectiveness. Although their purifiers seemed suitable for the medical community such as clinics and hospitals due to its sanitizing powers, this has yet to be proven. Biozone purifiers are sold at a price range between $ 99.95 and $ 1999 and are capable of covering a maximum of 14 000 sq ft. This product has not produced a clean air delivery rate, but it has been mentioned that the air within the room does not need to circulate through the purifier in order to be cleaned. How does this air purifier work then?

Biozone Purifier

Biozone Air Purification Technologies

Biozone air cleaners merge four advanced engineered electronics methods in their purifiers to clean the indoor environment.

  • Photolic ozonation (an euphemism for chemically active oxygen atoms) is applicable to eliminate odors, make harmless certain gases, and destroy live contaminants found in the air and also on top of many surfaces. In order to control the accumulation of ozone, Biozone uses SafeZone, a fail-safe method which detects ozone levels in its surrounding environment and automatically reduces its production of ozone to safer levels. However, this claim has not been scientifically tested for its effectiveness.
  • Next, certain concentrated ultraviolet light is also used to kill micro organisms such as bacteria and viruses. Ultra-violet light, widely used in sanitizing scientific equipments and medical rooms helps destroy excessive ozone molecules, keeps the two systems in balance.
  • In addition to that, purifying hydroxyls which can be formed from air components, aids further destruction of contaminants. The combination of ultraviolet light and purifying plasma can clean air and surfaces up to 2000 times faster than ozone alone and compared to just ultraviolet light, 180 times faster.
  • Finally, the production of negative ions which attracts solid particles such as dust and pollen and even soot, helps to clear them from the environment. The Biozone air purifier then blows the purified air back into the room, carrying purifying agents to clean the air of stubborn contaminants and unpleasant odors.
