5 Technologies That Help Us Breathe Easy

Today it seems as though we are constantly surrounded by technology. From our cars to our computers it’s seemingly impossible to escape as we make our way through everyday life. Here at Austin Air we like to think that the best technologies are the ones that provide a benefit with as little burden on the users as possible. This is why we work tirelessly to make some of the best air purifiers on the market, which are simple to operate and have technology you can rely on.

So, instead of breathing in polluted air, you can purchase an air purifier that essentially breathes it in before you. Think of an air purifier as your extra set of electronic lungs for your home.

Now, here’s where the technology comes in. The air is drawn into your air purifier, which cleans it in the following stages:

1. Large Particle Pre-Filter

Removes particles easily seen by the naked eye. Say goodbye to: dust, hair and pet dander.

2. Medium Particle Pre-Filter

Removes small to medium size particles. Say goodbye to: mold, spores and pollen.

3. Activated Carbon and Zeolite

Carbon is one of histories most reliable odor and toxin fighters. This phase gets to work on those unseen problems. Say goodbye to: chemicals, gases and odors.

4. Certified Certified HEPA Material (High-Efficiency Particulate Air)

This is where the purifier really kicks into gear. The Certified HEPA Material Filter removes 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns. A micron is 1/25,000 of an inch. Certified HEPA Material technology was originally invented to filter atomic matter in nuclear environments. These problems may be microscopic but their affect is not small. Itchy watery eyes, sneezing, wheezing, respiratory diseases, snoring, asthma attacks and disturbed sleep are all caused by environmental pollutants. Get these out of your home and you will see and feel the relief.

Don’t Be Fooled. If the air purifier you’re looking at doesn’t offer Certified HEPA Material filtration, it’s going to have a harder time delivering true relief. Some ‘so called’ air purifiers even use a non-Certified HEPA Material technology that can release toxic ozone gases. These gases can be harmful to asthmatics, children and the elderly.

5. HEGA (High Efficiency Gas Arrestance) Carbon Cloth

Don’t let the name intimidate you; this final phase is a military grade carbon cloth, utilized by the military to protect against chemical and biological threats. Only Austin Air offers this 5th and final stage of filtration in residential Air Purifiers. The cloth will absorb any remaining hazards and let you breathe easy, say goodbye to: VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) and those tiny but powerful particles.

Do your lungs a favor. Let an air purifier do all the hard work on their behalf!
