Air Purifier Buying Guide Air purifiers are there to make your household cleaner with purified air and to clear it of allergens, and even break down the smell of your cat's kitty litter. These are great appliances for keeping your house smelling brand new and fresh. Each model is different to the other and specialises at removing particular pollutants from the air. When searching for an air purifier, remember that there are five main types of air purifiers. These are: Hepa, Ozone, Carbon, Ionic and ultraviolet light. Hepa filters: These air purifiers are very effective at trapping allergens; so effective that they are often used in hospitals and other clinical settings. These air purifiers tend to remove more pollutants that other filters. To work at their best potential, Hepa filter air purifiers should be replaced about twice a year. Ozone filters: These purifiers tackle odours but do not clear allergens or chemical pollutants from the air. Carbon filters: These air purifiers are effective at clearing smoke, odours, chemicals and even gases from air. Carbon air purifiers do not trap allergens and bacteria, so they are often paired with HEPA filters. Ionic filters: Ionic air purifiers work very quietly but do not work on odours, only remove small pollutants from large spaces. These filter's drawer the particles to plates within the purifier by using s negative and positive electrical charge. Ultraviolet light filters: These air purifiers target and destroy bacterial microorganisms, but are not effective against allergens, odours, smoke or chemical fumes.
