Maintenance Of Air Purifier
Jason Uvios
As the air inside homes and offices grow polluting at an
alarming rate, more and more people are seeking recourse in air
purifiers to breathe fresh, clean air. An air purifier works by
filtering the air from impurities like dust, animal dander,
cigarette smoke and pollen.
Getting an air purifier would mean a significant investment.
However, if you don’t take proper care of the gadget, it
wouldn’t be working at its optimum level and hence your
investment wouldn’t be providing you the results you expected.
Maintaining air purifiers isn’t that much of a hassle also and
would take little time. And for your effort you will be ensured
fresh air to breathe in.
The dust around the air purifier should be vacuumed regularly.
Special attention should be paid to the exterior grills and
panels. Change the filters when the indicator lights indicate
you to. If your gadget doesn’t come with indicator lights, then
follow the instructions that are there on the manual.
We cannot definitively say when exactly would you need to
change the filter. Much of it depends on what kind of room the
air purifier is. If the room has too much traffic and also a
lot of activities then the filters would be saturated earlier
than normal. The opposite is also true when the filter has it
easy in a less frequented room.
Normally HEPA filters require to be replaced every 12 months
and the carbon filters used for absorbing gases need to be
changed in 3-6 months. The best option would be to buy an air
purifier with the filter replacement indicator lights as it is
not only convenient but also scientific. Judging the state of
your purifier by the particulates present in air or the odor of
the air isn’t much of a solution. You might be replacing them
too late when they are clogged or you may be replacing them
much too soon, hence spending unnecessarily.
Some purifiers come with washable pre-filters. To wash them use
warm soapy water. Do not insert them before they are thoroughly
dried.
Always keep an extra filter with you so that when required you
can change it immediately. Also HEPA filters are relatively
expensive. So you wouldn’t want to be rushed into buying it. It
would help if you budget separately for it.
Also keep you purifier in a place where the is enough clearance
on all its sides. Yes, you wouldn’t want to spoil the look of
your room, but you still need to allot some space for it to
function properly.
