I see a lot of people sharing recommendations for making this kind of DIY air filtration system. Since I have been using one of these for several years now, I have some practical comments and caveats:

Their useful lifespan is relatively short. A set of filters is good for maybe 60 to 90 days before it becomes so soiled as to be counterproductive, probably less if you have furry pets.

What the filters pull out of the air is deposited on their surface. You'll want to be careful not to touch the filters and keep kids and pets away from them. If possible, you should also put the unit on some stand or surface you can easily clean.

Removing and replacing the filters is nasty. The outer layers of the filters get filthy, and removing the filters involves using a utility knife to slash the tape holding the thing together, which will dislodge big clouds of crap. This needs to be done outside if at all possible. You'll want to wear a respirator and disposable gloves, and old clothes you can immediately launder (or bag and dispose).

You'll need to clean the box fan itself when changing filters. You'll want a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the fan motor, and should clean the blades, grilles, and frame as best you can before replacing the filters.

High PFR furnace filters aren't cheap. At a typical big box store, two high-PFR filters of adequate size will cost you at least $35 to $40 USD. You can bring down the per-filter cost by ordering in bulk online, but that costs more upfront.

These units may not be practical for physically disabled people. If the prospect of picking up and (gingerly) carrying the complete unit is physically daunting, if you have limited fine motor skills, or if you have no way to carry the unit outside to change the filters, this is probably not a good option.

If you need a short-term air filtration solution, such as when there's a lot of wildfire ash in the air, these kinds of filters are relatively cheap and work well if you do a reasonably conscientious job of assembling them and changing soiled filters. However, over longer periods, their cost advantage relative to a HEPA filter air purifier begins to erode because the filters are more expensive and shorter-lived.

A HEPA filter air purifier costs significantly more upfront, and where the air quality is bad, they may be in short supply. However, they're much easier, and usually cheaper, to maintain. Generally, they have a "pre-filter" to catch dust and lint, reducing the load on the HEPA filter(s) so that the latter's useful life is close to a year. (The pre-filter needs to be changed about every three months.) Furthermore, the filters are internal, so you aren't likely to touch them or dislodge their contents except when changing filters, which usually involves just popping them out into a plastic garbage bag and wiping down the interior with a microfiber cloth before replacing them. That can still be a little gross, but it's nothing like the filth and effort of having to gingerly carry the complete unit outside and tearing it apart.

Hi folks.

This is what the gift of prophecy looks like.

This is why you might find my name in the comments on posts going around about air filters to clear wildfire smoke.

I've been using these for years simply for keeping my indoor air clean in Wisconsin.

Long before we were seeing wildfire smoke, and long before this horrible smoggy year of 2023.

As I speak, we are under yet another air quality advisory for our entire state. Because Canada just won't stop burning.

This filter is maybe 6 weeks old. They usually take much longer to get this clogged.

This is running on the lowest speed, as these LOW merv electrostatic filters work best at low flow rates. They trap any particle that casually wanders by.

The air outside makes my eyes BURN.

I never thought when I started researching these filters and testing them myself, that I would really ever need to seriously use them for wildfire smoke.

But, here we are.

How Air Filters Can Clean City's Air

Did you know that air pollution is responsible for millions of premature deaths each year? The World Health Organization estimates that around 7 million people die annually due to exposure to fine particles in polluted air. From exhaust fumes to industrial emissions, urban areas face a constant battle against air pollution, posing a significant threat to public well-being.

In this blog post, we delve into the pressing issue of air pollution in cities and explore how air filters can play a crucial role in cleaning up our urban environments. As an Air Filters Manufacturer, we understand the importance of finding effective solutions to combat pollution and improve air quality for everyone's benefit.

Join us as we uncover the impact of air pollution on our cities and discover how air filtration technology can help us breathe easier in our urban landscapes. Let's pave the way towards cleaner, healthier cities together.

How Air Filters Can Clean City’s Air

1. Trapping Particulate Matter:

Air filters are designed to capture particulate matter suspended in the air, including dust, pollen, and soot particles. These pollutants can exacerbate respiratory issues and contribute to poor air quality.

How it can be done: Air filters use a porous material to trap particles as air passes through. The size of the filter’s pores determines the types and sizes of particles it can capture. High-efficiency filters can effectively trap even the smallest particles, improving air quality.

2. Removing Harmful Gases:

Air filters can also help remove harmful gases from the air, such as nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are emitted by vehicles and industrial sources.

How it can be done: Certain types of air filters, such as activated carbon filters, are capable of adsorbing gases and odors. As air passes through the filter, the porous carbon material traps and removes gas molecules, effectively purifying the air.

3. Reducing Allergens:

Air filters can help reduce allergens in the air, such as pet dander, mold spores, and dust mites, which can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory problems.

How it can be done: HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are particularly effective at capturing allergens. These filters are designed to remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, providing relief for allergy sufferers.

4. Minimizing Odors:

Air filters can also help minimize unpleasant odors in the air, such as those from cooking, smoking, or industrial activities, improving indoor air quality and creating a more pleasant environment.

How it can be done: Activated carbon filters, with their adsorption properties, can effectively trap and neutralize odorous molecules, eliminating unwanted smells from the air.

5. Preventing Respiratory Issues:

By removing airborne pollutants and allergens, air filters can help prevent respiratory issues such as asthma attacks, bronchitis, and allergies, promoting better respiratory health.

How it can be done: Regularly replacing or cleaning air filters ensures that they remain effective in capturing pollutants and maintaining clean indoor air quality, thus reducing the risk of respiratory issues.

6. Enhancing Overall Air Quality:

Ultimately, air filters contribute to enhancing overall air quality by removing harmful pollutants, allergens, and odors, creating a healthier and more comfortable environment for inhabitants.

How it can be done: Installing quality air filters in ventilation systems, air purifiers, and HVAC units ensures that indoor air is continuously filtered and purified, leading to improved air quality and well-being.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, air filters play a crucial role in cleaning up the air in cities burdened with pollution. From trapping particulate matter to removing harmful gases and allergens, air filters contribute significantly to improving overall air quality and promoting better respiratory health for city dwellers. By investing in quality air filtration systems, we can mitigate the harmful effects of air pollution and create cleaner, healthier urban environments for everyone.

How to Take Care of Your Air Conditioning Unit?

One of the most important things people look for in housing are the heating and air conditioning units. During the summer months air conditioning installation climbs to new highs. People hate trying to sleep or move around with stale hot air. It is hard to breathe when it is too hot and it is not healthy especially for older people that cannot tell that they are too hot. Air conditioning is essential in the heat. Maintaining the unit is a lot cheaper than replacing one when it breaks down. Here are a few points to consider while taking care of your air conditioning unit.

Filters and Air Conditioners

Air conditioning unit repair is something we want to avoid if possible. One important thing to do is make sure that the air condition filters do not contain a lot of dust and are cleaned or changed at a minimum once per month. Change the filter more often if needed. There are different types of filters. The standard wire mesh type filter is fine for filtering the dust. The best type air filter will not only filter the dust but also the allergens out of the air. These do cost a little more but are definitely worth it to help the family from getting sick.

Compressor Care

Another thing to think about when you purchase a new air conditioner is where to place the compressor unit. It needs setting up out of the dirt and away from a lot of water. Some people put the unit up on blocks to allow airflow underneath and to avoid a lot of mud or dirt getting in the coils. In air conditioner maintenance, it is a good idea to purchase a coil comb. With this comb, make sure that you clean all of the dirt out of the metal grooves in the coils. Doing so will absolutely allow better airflow and less stress on the compressor. Whoever is doing the air conditioner installation will be able to give you some helpful hints in extending the life of your unit.

Licensed Technicians

Air conditioning unit repair can be costly. Clean and service unit regularly to avoid problems. It is a great idea to contact a professional technician from an ac unit installation company in Diamond Bar to come out each spring and ensure your unit is in good repair. Making sure the lines are clean and there are no breaks in the unit's electrical cords is very important to the life of the unit and the safety of your home. This will help avoid costly repairs or replacement of the units.

Thermostats

A good rule of thumb is to keep your unit running at the same or close to the same temperature. The up and down of the unit can burn out or destroy the thermostat. The automatic thermostat is one that will keep the house set on a certain temperature and can be set to raise the temperature in the room when no one is home. During air conditioning installation, you can discuss the different types of thermostats.

Cover the Unit A very good idea is to cover up the unit outside prior to winter storms. The cover will also prevent any dirt or trash from getting into the coils of the air conditioning unit. To avoid high cost air conditioning unit repair, take the time to keep the grass and bushes from growing up around the unit. This will help you avoid damages and costly repair bills.

Take A Deep Breath

The first post of the new year and it regards a little project that kept me busy over the holidays which is detailed below. But first, over the last couple of weeks I am yet again having issues with Facebook – my Nemesis. I created a second business page which is a couple of years old now, as my original page was hacked. That page is still up, but I can’t access it because they have blocked ME…

Car engines need an unobstructed inflow of fresh oxygen. The air filter prevents dust, dirt, sand, insects, and other debris from coming into the engine along with the air. But over time, car air filters become clogged up and can start to restrict the inflow of oxygen, which can lead to engine problems. Here are a few signs that you might need to replace your air filter soon at your local Ford dealer, Hutch Ford.

If you ever want something stronger - this is what I use - it covers more area (CADR 40 vs. 3.8 on the pure), has more filtration (3 stage) & runs for 8 hours on a charge.

Portable HEPA air filter. Combine with the SIP valve + N95 or P100 mask.

The recommender said they have used this on flights.

Another recommended portable option:

& PSA: apparently JetBlue does not allow air filters. Might be true of other airlines as well. Yet another thing to research before you travel. 🙄
