Ultra Allergen Paper Filters with Holes
Every trip to the local Home Depot finds me wondering how to inform the general public on the ineffectiveness of those very expensive "Ultra Allergen" paper filters. I know that every one of those customers believe they are doing a good thing for their health, in fact, the expense alone makes them feel like this must be an effective solution for their allergies. How can I get the word out? Write the truth and hope that the truth will burn a hole in all of the "fluff" marketing that is rampant in the air cleaning market.
If you read the label of the product, it states that it is effective up to 91 percent of large particles (read larger than 1 micron). It also states that it is protecting your furnace. The confusing part of the marketing is the fact that it has a sticker on it that shows the American Lung Association logo. Looking carefully, you see that they are a partner in education about indoor air quality. This does not mean that their products are endorsed by the American Lung Association, they just help put education material together for them.
The American Lung Association has put together requirements for a "Healthy Home". These requirements are barely met by the Ultra Allergen paper filters, while products like the Electro Breeze electronic air cleaners far surpass those standards. In fact, most of the harmful particles in your home are smaller than 1 micron. That is why we refer to the Ultra Allergen paper filters as paper filters with holes. They are about 2 percent efficient below 1 micron because the hole size in the paper is no smaller than 1 micron!
Compare the Ultra Allergen paper filters with the Electro Breeze electronic air cleaner and you see a huge gap in efficiency. The Electro Breeze air cleaner is capable of 97 percent efficiency down to 0.3 microns! 0.3 microns is where you see the harmful particles that your body is not able to filter out. This kind of efficiency is comparable to a HEPA filter used in clean rooms and hospitals. While other air filter companies use phrases like "Ultra Allergen, High Performance and Micro-Particle" to make their product appear effective, the Electro Breeze company shows you the test data to prove the effectiveness of their products.
The high efficiency air cleaner from Electro Breeze is a 1 inch filter panel that utilizes a replacement pad at a cost of about $12.00 per pad, while you could spend around $21.00 for the Ultra Allergen filters. If cost were the only factor, it would be enough to switch to the Electro Breeze, but cost is rarely the consideration. Most of the Electro Breeze users are dealing with allergies and asthma and find that they cannot live without this kind of effectiveness. They are at freedom to roam to any corner of their homes without fearing dust, mold spores, pollen or pet dander.
Electro Breeze also offers their high efficiency air cleaner coupled with an ultra violet light in an easy to install Duct Mount UV kit. All of their products are available for purchase at www.electro-breeze-supply.com. Here you will also find the test data and videos on how to install the Duct Mount UV kit and other useful information. Customer service is personal and courteous, real people helping real people.
