NaturoPure™ HF 380 Intelligent 7-Stage Air Purifier
1. Washable Pre-Filter - The air enters the pre filter first, capturing the largest particles. This enhances the durability and performance of the other filters.
2. Washable Dust Collector Plates - The electrostatically-charged dust collector grid traps particles and pollutants like a magnet similar to Friedrich C-90A, which is Consumer Reports' top-rated air purifier. Unlike the C-90A, the Intelli-Pro utilizes many other leading technologies.
3. Activated Carbon Filter - This is the best type of air filter for trapping chemicals, gases, odours and cigarette smoke. According to Penn State Dept. of Aerobiological researchers, carbon filters remove odours, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals that other filters cannot.
4. High-Efficiency Particulate Air or HEPA Filter - This is the most effective type of air filter for capturing dust, allergens, and other solid particles (including bacteria).
5. Photocatalytic Oxidation (TiO2) Filter - This filter effectively reduces chemicals, bacteria, and odours.
6. Germicidal UV Lamp - This is the most effective way to destroy micro-organisms, such as germs, viruses, fungi, mould, and bacteria, including those trapped by the HEPA filter, preventing them from reproducing and circulating back through the room. UV lamps are recommended by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control.
7. Safe and Effective Ionizer - This ionizer circulates trillions of negative ions to neutralize pollutants floating throughout the room. A Journal of Hygiene study found negative ions improve the efficiency of filter units. Multiple studies (including those by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture) have found ionizers to be highly effective against dust, bacteria, and other minute particles. Finally, the Intelli-Pro's ionizer is proven to be safe, producing virtually no ozone whatsoever.
NaturoPure™ HF 300E 5-Stage Air Purifier
1. Anti-Bacterial Pre-Filter
- Preserves the life of the other filters. The pre-filter captures larger particles, so more pores remain available in the activated carbon and HEPA air filters for the hard-to-remove pollutants
- Destroys bacteria to prevent them from reproducing and recirculating
2. Activated Carbon Air Filter
- Specializes in capturing and neutralizing chemicals, gases, odours, and cigarette smoke, which the HEPA filter cannot capture
3. HEPA Filter
- Removes 99.97% of particles (0.3 microns in size) that pass through the filter, preventing them from returning to the air. The HEPA filter is largely considered the most effective type of air filter
- Captures a high volume of floating dust and other particles, including many of the ionized particles that settle to the ground when a typical ionizer is used
4. Germicidal UV Light
- UV (ultraviolet) light is scientifically proven to destroy a large variety of microbial contaminants, such as viruses, germs, bacteria, and fungi (including mould)
- UV light has been used for years in hospitals to sanitize rooms and equipment, in order to prevent the spread of illness and disease
- Recommended by Centers of Disease Control for its ability to destroy biological pollutants
5. Air Ionizer
- Effectively removes airborne particulates such as allergens (including mould and dust mites), fine dust particles, bacteria, viruses, chemical fumes, and other ultra-fine particles that a filter cannot capture
- Increases the effectiveness of the HEPA and activated carbon filters by causing particles to magnetically attract to one another, creating larger particles that are easier to capture
- Disinfects viruses and bacteria trapped in the filtration bank that would normally reproduce in a typical filter
- Removes distant airborne particles in areas of the room where the filter has little effect. This negative ion circulation throughout the room is further enhanced by a fan
