What are the successes of the IQAir's air purifiers?
IQAir is the leading manufacturer of domestic and commercial air cleaners. Here are just a few of IQAir's successes:
- The Hong Kong Hospital Authority (HKHA) choose IQAir as the best air purifiers for hospital rooms for patients with SARS. IQAir provided air purifiers for more then 150 hospitals and healthcare clinics in Hong Kong to fight the SARS virus.
- The American Lung Association uses IQAir as their educational partner in their effort to create awareness about indoor air pollution.
- The USA Cycling team picked IQAir as their official supplier of air purifiers for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
- Consumer Digest awarded IQAir several times the "Best Buy Award", and recommends IQAir's room air purifiers as the top choice for people with allergies and asthma.
What is HyperHEPA Filter Technology?
One of the factors that makes IQAir air purifiers so effective is their HyperHEPA filter technology. Most IQAir air cleaners that uses a HEPA filter technology are using a HyperHEPA filter, which is tested and certified to have a filtration efficiency of 99.97 % for all particulate pollution down to 0.3 microns, and have a filtration efficiency of 99.5% down to 0.003 microns- 10 times smaller then a virus. Such a efficiency allows the IQAir air cleaners to capture close to 100% of bacteria, pet allergens, mould spores, pollen, tobacco smoke, and ultra fine particulate pollution from cars, trains and plains.
What is also important to note here is, that this outstanding filtration efficiency applies to the air purifier as a whole. IQAir air purifiers are leakage free. All the polluted air that passes through the unit will pass through the filter, and thus will be cleaned. Many air purifier manufacturers claim high filtration efficiency for their air purifiers, which in actuality only refers to the theoretical filtration efficiency of the air purifiers filters itself- not the unit as a whole.
What is room size does an IQAir air purifier cover?
A unit such as the HealthPro 250 covers an area of approximately 50-75 square meters at an average home ceiling height of 2.5 meters. If doors to adjacent rooms are left open, this area space and hallways will also benefit from clean air produced by the IQAir air purifier. Please keep in mind, however, that the ultimate efficiency depends on the pollution concentration and the speed setting at which the unit is operated.
Where should I place my IQAir air purifier?
We recommend you place the unit in your bedroom since that is where you spend most of your time. If you are very noise conscious you should set it on a lower settings and adjust to a higher level during the day. Alternatively you can keep your IQAir air purifier in the living room, if that’s where you spend a lot of time. Each unit comes with casters and can be easily wheeled to a different location.
Note: Please keep in mind that all IQAir air purifiers are neo-medical devices used by leading hospitals around the world. If you purchase the unit for domestic personal use only, and you are purchasing the unit for someone suffering with a chronic condition such as asthma, you are eligible to be exempt from being charged UK VAT.
How well does the IQAir air purifier actually perform?
Online research is important to get an objective viewpoint on the air cleaners that are available on the market. Try to rely on genuine customer reviews and people’s personal experience, not fabricated, false company claims.
Please keep in mind that many air cleaner companies boast high filtration efficiencies but do not perform close to close is promised in real life.
IQAir does not make false claims. Each air purifier is individually tested and certified for actual air delivery and actual filtration efficiency. Furthermore each unit comes with a Certificate of Performance based on that individual unit performance.
Each IQAir air purifier will meet the advertised performance- a guarantee that no other manufacturer offers.
Do IQAir purifiers produce ozone? Do IQAir air purifiers use ion technology?
Ozone is a lung irritant and all IQAir air purifiers are 100% ozone-free. Ozone is also produced by ionizers and electronic air cleaners. Even small amounts of ozone are undesirable and can be harmful for allergy and asthma sufferers and function as asthma and allergy triggers.
Does the IQAir have a timer?
Yes. Each IQAir air purifier comes with a digital display screen, and an advanced timer that allows you to program different fan speeds at different times. You can, for example, set a convenient fan speed for day-time and another fan speed for night-time. If you are using your IQAir air purifier at work you can set it to switch on or off automatically during office hours.
How long will the filters in an IQAir air purifier last?
IQAir air purifiers have an extra-long filter life because they use high quality, large surface and high capacity filters. In order to calculate the life span of the filters within any air purifier one must keep track of the following factors:
- Actual hours of usage
- Actual speed of usage
- Pollution concentration
Each IQAir air purifier has an Intelligent Filter Life Monitor. It takes these three factors into account when calculating each individual filter’s remaining life span.
What is a rule of thumb for approximate life expectancy of the filters in my IQAir unit?
On an average usage of 12 hours per day, at an average fan speed 2-3 and average pollution levels the different filters can be expected to have the following life span (in months):
Allergen 100
PreMax: 12-15, HyperHEPA: 36-48
HealthPro 150
PreMax MG: 9-12, HyperHEPA: 36-48
HealthPro 250
PreMax: 12-15, V5-Cell: 15-18, HyperHEPA: 36-48
GC MultiGas
GC HEPA pre-filter: 9-12, GC Cartridges: 18-24, GC Sleeves: 18-24
I live in an area with very high pollution levels. Does the HealthPro 250 take this factor into account when calculating the remaining filter life?
Yes, if you live in a busy and polluted area, you can set the pollution levels of your environment as ‘high’ or ‘very high’ by adjusting the filter load index for each individual filter to reflect the actual pollution levels more accurately.
How can I tell that the filters in my IQAir need to be replaced?
Each unit has an Intelligent Life Monitor, which allows you to check the calculated lifetime in hours of each individual filter. When a specific filter comes to the end of it's calculated life span, you will be alerted with a red LED light on the control panel, that a filter needs to be changed.
I bought an air purifier from a different company. After only one year the model and replacement filters were discontinued. What guarantee do I have that I will still be able to buy the replacement filters for my IQAir in several years time?
IQAir has a solid 45-year track record in air filtration. IQAir guarantees a full 15-year availability from the day you purchased the unit for replacement filters to match the long-term performance.
How quiet are the IQAir air cleaners?
In order to clean the air in your bedroom, flat or house effectively, an air cleaner must:
- Have high efficiency filters
- Be extremely well sealed
- Have a powerful fan to circulate as much room air as possible though these filters.
This means that no effective air cleaner can be completely silent. The key is to operate or program your IQAir to run at the speed level that is most convenient for you. If you are noise sensitive then having the unit on level 1 in the night and level 3-4 just before you go to sleep for 2 hours. Please be aware that if an air cleaner is advertised as truly "silent", it either has no fan, a weak fan or ineffective filters. No air cleaner currently on the market produces more 99.97% particle-free air at a lower noise level for long periods of time than an IQAir. The decibel levels at the different fan speeds are 22, 34, 41, 48, 52 and 59 dB (tolerance: +/- 3 dB).
I am thinking of purchasing one of your units for my parents. Do the IQAir air purifiers require any maintenance?
IQAir air purifiers are 100% maintenance free. You only have to worry about replacing the filters and we have a system in place to remind you via email when it’s advisable to do so. Our customer care extends to most if not all your air purification needs.
