Achoo! Allergy Season and Air Purifiers

What do a person with seasonal allergies and a cactus have in common? They both feel miserable.

If allergies affect you in any way, you know how miserable it can be to deal with symptoms as allergy season arrives each spring. Between itchy eyes, a scratchy throat, sneezing and coughing, and a runny nose, each day can feel like you’re battling a never-ending cold.

Though medication can help, it only addresses symptoms rather than the cause of the problem- pollen, dust, dander, and mold spores in your air.

If only there was a way that you could make a one-time investment to improve the air you breathe in your home... Oh, wait! We got it! How about a Hunter Air Purifier?

Here’s how Hunter Air Purifiers help with your seasonal allergies:

True HEPA Technology:

High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filters (HEPA Filters), is an efficiency standard for air purifier filters. The efficiency standards say that True HEPA filters must remove 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns passing through the filter. When a brand uses “True HEPA”, you can feel confident that the air purifier will do its job and remove the tiny particles floating around your home.

You may see brands use terms such as “HEPA-like” or “HEPA-type.” While these filters appear to be similar to True HEPA filters, they are not standardized and cannot match the performance of True HEPA filters.

Pet dander, mold spores, and dust mites are just a few of the common allergens that trigger allergy symptoms. True HEPA filtration is beneficial to fight off these allergens. Allergen particles tend to be smaller than other particles, and a True HEPA filter can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Activated Carbon Pre-Filters:

In addition to our tried-and-true HEPA filters, our pre-filters use activated carbon, which reduces household odors from cooking, cleaning, smoking, and pets. Pre-filters also capture large particles such as pet hair and some pollen. While doing all these things, our pre-filters will also remove harmful VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) such as the chemicals found in cleaning products, air fresheners, paint, new carpet or furniture, and cosmetics. Our EcoSilver® pre-filters use silver nanotechnology to prevent the growth of microorganisms on the filter, including bacteria and viruses.

It’s safe to say that our Hunter Air Purifiers with their triple layers of filtration will leave you breathing clean air, and relieving allergy symptoms.
