Frequently Asked Questions Why does my Air Purifier seem loud? The Vicks® Air Purifier is designed for maximum output in a compact design. The amount of air flowing through unit at the Turbo setting will clean the amount of air in a medium sized room every ten minutes, and this can result in noise from the air flow. Three lower settings are designed to offer lower noise levels.
About Air Purification Indoor air pollutants are unwanted (and sometimes harmful) materials in the air in every home, including particles and gases that can be breathed into your lungs and cause allergic reactions. If you suffer from allergies associated with airborne particles, there are three commonly recommended strategies for their reduction: • Control the source of the allergens by doing things such as vacuuming regularly and removing pollinating plants.
Mold Molds are found in the house throughout the year, though mold concentration is highest in spring and autumn. Molds thrive on decaying matter and send spores into the air for reproduction. Mold Spores are relatively large and are easily captured by the HEPA Filter media. Aside from the EPA guidelines listed earlier in this section, keeping the level of humidity in the house at a reasonable level is effective in controlling mold.
