MERV’s Revolutionary Air Filters
What is a MERV Air Filter?
Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) is a standardized rating system that almost every manufacturer of these types of devices (air filters) uses for regulation and safety guidelines. The MERV rating is a general way to determine the efficiency of an air filter. The rating is represented in numbers and ranges from 1 to 20. The higher the MERV rating, the more efficient the filter is. We recommend aiming for a MERV rating of 8 or 10. Both MERV 8 and MERV 10 can be purchased on our website with great prices.
There are really two different components of a MERV rating. One is the ability to remove large airborne particles, or particles that are between 1 and 10 microns. These “large” particles include pet dander, pollen grains, dust mite debris, etc. However, the bulk of indoor air pollutants are in a smaller size range. MERV also rates the filter’s ability to remove submicron particles, those that are smaller than 1 micron; this rating is called the Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR), and some filters are given just this rating.
Beware that while purchasing a higher MERV rated air filter means that getting higher efficiency from your HVAC unit also pushes it to work harder which may result in higher stress on your unit. So, in that case the negative aspect of higher stress on your unit outweighs the results you will get. Therefore, MERV 8 and MERV 10 air filters are recommended.
IMPORTANCE OF A QUALITY AIR FILTER
Importance of Home Filters for Quality Air
Home air filters are very important when it comes to keeping your indoor air clean and your family healthy. Pollution is a well-known problem in the developed world. A lot of respiratory diseases such as asthma, allergies, etc. can be caused by breathing in harmful elements. Unfortunately, you can’t just shut the windows to eliminate toxins from the air in your home. According to research, the air indoors has more pollutants than the air outdoors. Those pollutants include smoke, fumes, mold, and dust. However, air filters are one of the best ways to keep the air you breathe in regularly clean, fresh and significantly reduce the respiratory health risks in your home.
In conclusion, there are a number of ways you can put your health at risk or get sick. And you don’t want this to happen via airborne allergens. A home air filter keeps the air in your home clean and fresh and fights allergens for you constantly, thus keeping you and your family healthy for a very long time.
Importance of Home Air Filters for Children
If you have children, it’s mainly important that the air they breathe in is fresh and clean because children are more vulnerable to mold spores and dangerous bacteria than adults. Furthermore, a home air filter is highly beneficial for children who are prone to asthma because it protects them from a number of air irritants such as chemical fumes and tobacco smoke.
Importance of Home Air Filters for Adults
A home air filter also helps improve the health of adults. People suffering from respiratory diseases such as emphysema or asthma report that they breathe easier and feel better when using an air filter. You can improve the quality of air inside your home with a good air filter and reduce the risk of flaring up your existing respiratory disease or developing new respiratory diseases.
What Happens Inside Our Air Purifier?
For residential and commercial areas ranging from 1,000 to 3,500 square feet* (* May vary depending on climate zone), our Air Oasis nano 9″ Induct is the ideal in-duct UV air purifier. It can be easily mounted in a standard HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system and can improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the whole building. The nano 9″ Induct is the best whole-house air purifier because it effectively purifies the air wherever the HVAC system reaches. For this reason, many prefer it to countertop air purifier models that can only purify the air in one room.
The nano 9″ Induct can be installed in less than 15 minutes and requires minimal maintenance. Our HVAC air purifier will immediately set to work reducing carbon-based contaminants in the air like mold, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can cause unpleasant odors. It will continuously clean the air in the building until a replacement AHPCO cell is needed, at which time a blue LED light will advise the owner to make the change. Cells only need to be replaced about once every two years, making the nano 9″ Induct the best whole-house air cleaner for those who do not wish to spend a lot of time on upkeep.
