“How does HEPASilent™ technology achieve such high levels of filtration?”6.
A revolutionary combination of advanced filter media and an encapsulated ion particle charging
chamber makes it possible for the Blueair air purification system to achieve better results than
either mechanical or electrostatic technology alone.
The Blueair system moves all particles through a sealed ion chamber where they collide with
negative ions and pick up a very slight electrical charge. As they exit the ion chamber, particles
are electrostatically attracted to the pleats of the HEPASilent™ filter media. Rather than floating
past the filter media, particles are captured and removed from the indoor air.
Most electrostatic systems charge the fibers of the filter media itself, rather than the particles.
The charge naturally dissipates over time and renders the filter media less efficient. By constantly
electrostatically charging incoming particles, instead of the filter media, HEPASilent™ technology
continues working effectively and reliably. In addition, Blueair uses a very low electrical current to
minimize ozone production.
“If I operate the unit 24 hours a day, seven days week, will my power bill skyrocket?”7.
Blueair units use an extremely low amount of power. Operating a Blueair unit is very economical
and cost-efficient. At low speed it costs about the same as using an electric light bulb at home.
“My bedroom is 40 m8.
2
. Why would I spend the extra money on a Blueair air purifier designed
for 54 or 60 m
2
room?”
60 m
2
(640 sq. ft.) is the maximum room size AHAM recommends for the Blueair 603 air purifier.
A maximum of 54 m
2
(580 sq. ft.) is recommended for the 503. If the room in which the 503 or
603 are placed is smaller than recommended, the room will be cleaned more efficiently. In ad-
dition, less power will be consumed, with the possibility for less required filter changes and the
likelihood of even cleaner air.
“Will I notice a difference in air quality when I use a Blueair air purifier?”9.
Yes, depending on how contaminated the air was prior to using the Blueair air purifier. If the room
has pet dander and tobacco smoke particles, the difference in air quality could be noticeable
within a few hours. The room will smell cleaner and fresher. If the customer suffers from allergies/
asthma related to dust and/or pollen, the customer should also notice a definite improvement in
his/her condition. Obviously, the more use of the Blueair air purifier, the better the results.
“Can Blueair systems trap airborne bacteria?”10.
The answer is a qualified “yes”. No air filtration system is 100% effective at removing 100% of
all bacteria and viruses. However, Blueair’s combination of mechanical and active electrostatic
filtration provides exceptionally high levels of protection. Blueair’s HEPASilent™ technology traps
