Frequently Asked Questions

How many filters do Honeywell air purifiers use?

Honeywell Air Purifier FAQ
Both the Honeywell QuietCare and Enviracaire Air Purifiers use two air filters, a True HEPA filter that removes at least 99.97% of common household particles as small as 0.3 microns and a Pre-filter that traps large air particles.

When do I need to change the filters in Honeywell air purifiers?

What is the Intelli-Check Monitoring system in Honeywell air purifiers?

Honeywell Air Purifier FAQ
The Intelli-Check Filter Monitor serves as a convenient guideline for replacement of the pre-filter.

Since Biozone? Air Purifiers do not rely on air filters, how do they clean the air?

F.A.Q. - General Air Purifier / Air Cleaner
Biozone? Air Purifiers clean the air in 2 ways, inside and outside of the unit. Air inside the purification chamber is exposed to intense germicidal UV (UVGI) light that produces a purifying plasma. This destroys bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other pollutants (including unpleasant odors). This 'ultra-pure' air then carries the purifying plasma and its purifying results to the air and surfaces throughout your home or office.

What are ionic air purifiers and how do they relate to HEPA air filters?

Frequently Asked Questions about Air Purification
Ionic air purifiers attach an electrical charge to the air that passes through the air purifier. This charge, usually a negative charge, then attracts positively charged particles that are floating in the air. This process "weighs down" the particles so that they sink out of the air. Ionic air purifiers are very effective when used in combination with a HEPA air filter. Many times you do not know the nit is working until you change the filter and notice how dirty it is.
