What to Look for in an Air
Filter.
Built-In Air Ionizer
An air ionizer will increase the effectiveness of an air filter, by
increasing the size of the particles drawn into the filter. Negative ions
produced by an ionizer cause airborne particles to magnetically clump
together, forming larger particles, which are more easily captured by the
filter.
Negative
ions are also capable of circulating throughout a room or area, removing
from the air even particulate far away from where the air filter is
located. Normally, particulate on the farther away from the air filter are
unaffected, since many particles away from the air filter will not make their
way across the room, and through a filter.
The
Surround Air XJ-3000C UV, HEPA, ionic
air purifier
uses a high density needlepoint ionizer to produce a
high concentration of negative ions.

HEPA Air Filter
The HEPA air purifier is the most effective type of air filter,
trapping 99.97% of particulate at the hard-to-remove size of 0.3 microns (300
times smaller than the width of a human hair.
Activated Carbon Air Filter
Activated
carbon is highly effective at removing a wide variety of chemicals from the
air, in addition to cigarette smoke and odors. It is the most absorbent of
all air filter types.
Filter Sanitization
One
major drawback of most air filters is that they serve as a breeding ground for
bacteria and other microbes trapped within. Air filtration systems with an
ionizer, ozone generator, or UV lamp located close to the filter will prevent
this from happening, by destroying micro-organisms trapped in the filter.
The
Surround Air XJ-3000C UV, HEPA, ionic
air purifier
uses UV, ionization, and an ozone generator located close to the filter to prevent
microbes from reproducing.
Long Lasting Air Filters
Replacing
air filters can be inconvenient, making it important to have an air filter
that will last a long time between replacements. The XJ-3000C ionic air filter
has one combination air filter cartridge consisting of a HEPA and activated
carbon air filter, which lasts one to two years before requiring
replacement.
Inexpensive Filter Replacement
Many
air filter systems use filters that cost well over a hundred dollars to
replace. In which case, it is important to find out the cost of
replacement filters before buying. The XJ-3000C filter cartridge costs
just $40 to replace.
Low Electricity Consumption
In
addition to expensive filter replacement costs, some air filters also cost well
over $100 or $200 a year in electricity costs. The XJ-3000C is rated at just
40 watts, costing only a few dollars or so per month in electricity
costs (if run continuously).
Low Noise
Another
common problem with many air filters is that they are so loud, it is
recommended that you only run them when you are not present, which limits
their ability to keep the air clean on an ongoing basis. The XJ-3000C is
very quiet, especially when the fan is on the "Low" setting,
where it is barely audible. Even on the high fan speed setting, the XJ-3000C
is not at all disturbing.
