TROUBLE-FREE,
ECONOMICAL
HIGH EFFICIENCY
AIR CLEANING.
WHAT
YOU CAN'T SEE,
CAN HURT YOU.
 It's
a fact: the trapped air we breathe in our homes can be loaded
with dust, pollen, spores, and other pollutant particles.
In many cases, it's worse than the air outside. Especially
if you are one of the more than 40 million allergy sufferers
in North America. Combine that with the fact that we spend
90% of our time inside and indoor air quality becomes
a major concern.
Although most pollutant particles are so small that you can't
see them, many are annoying or even harmful to you and your
family, and potentially damaging to your furnace, air conditioner,
and related equipment. The standard throwaway filter or electrostatic
filter in your furnace traps only about 15% of the pollutant
particles in your home's air. The rest circulates throughout
your home.
Standard
throwaway furnace filters and electrostatic filters permit
dirt and dust to collect on sensitive heating and cooling
equipment, decreasing efficiency by as much as 10-25%. The
Aprilaire® High Efficiency Air Cleaner protects blowers,
coils, and other operating equipment from dust and dirt, increasing
efficiency and service life.

fact, your home's furnishings will last longer. Carpeting

removes Pollen, spores, dust, and dirt. Note that clean air can
still pass through the media. |
HOW
DOES THE APRILAIRE AIR CLEANER WORK?The
Aprilaire
Air Cleaner
removes dust and other irritating particles from your home as the blower
fan in your furnace draws them to the tightly sealed air cleaner. This
clean air is then circulated through your furnace and back to the rooms
in you home The highly efficient HEPA-type filtering media (similar
in principle to those used in hospital operating room and other clean
room environments) allows the The Aprilaire Air Cleaner to effectively
trap a wide range of particle types and sizes. And the media becomes
even more efficient as it collects particles.
The Aprilaire
Air Cleaner also provides more than 72 square feet of particle trapping
surface through its pleated design. That's the usable surface area equivalent
to more than thirty-one 20" x 20" typical furnace filters.
This feature allows the Aprilaire Air Cleaner to have a low resistance
to airflow and a very long service life, typically one year or longer.
HOW DOES THE APRILAIRE AIR CLEANER
HELP HAY FEVER AND ALLERGY SUFFERERS?
Aprilaire
is widely recommended by allergists, and these medical specialists understand
the effectiveness of the high efficiency media in providing relief to
their patients.
For
most sufferers, hay fever and similar illnesses are a result of breathing
pollen, molds, spores, or pet dander. Some of these particles can be
as small as five microns in size. (See Particle Size Chart). The Aprilaire
Air Cleaner reaches 99% efficiency in removing these particles. This
means practically all of the allergy-causing irritants are removed from
the circulated airstream. For continuous air cleaning during allergy
seasons, your thermostat's fan setting should be placed in the "on"
position.
To further
determine whether the Aprilaire High Efficiency Air Cleaner can be beneficial
in cases of hay fever or other allergies, consult your physician or
allergist.
