Question 1

What is a Pre-Filter?

Accepted Answer

In each of our air purifiers that offers passive filtration, a washable fabric or metal mesh pre-filter captures large contaminants before reaching the main set of filters. In indoor spaces with pets, these pre-filters can capture pet hair to prevent extended wear on the main filters.

Question 2

What is a HEPA Filter?

Accepted Answer

We use high-quality HEPA Filters in all of our air purifiers featuring passive filtration. HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) is a designation for filters that can trap over 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or smaller. Our HEPA filters are engineered with special water-resistant polypropylene (plastic fibers) bound together to capture particles from 0.3 to as small as 0.1 microns.

Question 3

What is an Activated Carbon Filter?

Accepted Answer

Combined with a standard HEPA Filter, an Activated Carbon Stage or Filter provides an extra layer of needed protection. These filters' unique properties enable the removal of common gasses, odors, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) found in the air. By adding Activated Carbon to the passive filtration, air purifiers can filter out strong odors and harmful gasses, producing cleaner and odorless air.

Question 4

What is Negative Ionization?

Accepted Answer

Negative Ionization technology improves the performance of indoor air purifiers. Negative Ionization occurs through the emission of electrically charged molecules (known as ions) into the air. These ions stick to particles and clump them together, resulting in improved capture by various filtration stages. Sanalife features this technology in all our multi-stage air filtration systems as it is essential to filtration effectiveness.

Question 5

What is Photocatalytic UV-C (PCO Technology)?

Accepted Answer

Photocatalytic UV-C Light enables air purifiers to sterilize the air passing through the system. After capturing particles at a microscopic level through filtration, UV-C (Ultraviolet Light) then inactivates or destroys microorganisms that may still exist in the air. Our UV-C Bulbs are coated to ensure safe operation to prevent the production and release of ozone into the atmosphere.

Question 6

How is the performance of an air purifier measured?

Accepted Answer

Air purifier performance is measured in various ways depending on the capabilities and technologies these systems boast. However, a few standard measurements include ACH (air exchanges per hour), CFM (cubic feet per minute), and CADR (clean air delivery rate). For systems, CFM will help determine the output of the air purifier’s fan. ACH is useful to determine the number of air exchanges an air purifier can conduct in set room size. While CADR can help calculate the delivery rate of clean air from a purifier inside a set room size. Simple tools such as this CADR Calculator can help you determine what CFM you need in an air purifier depending on the room size and desired number of air exchanges.
