Patented HEPASilent Filter System
A revolutionary combination of advanced filter media and an encapsulated ion
particle charging chamber makes it possible for the Blueair air purification system to achieve better results than either technology alone. Our nontoxic polypropylene filter contains millions of ultra- thin fibers that trap tiny particles as they pass through the pleats. One of the least harmful plastics for human health and the environment, polypropylene works without outgassing or
shedding irritating microscopic fibers into the air. It eliminates bacteria,viruses and mold naturally, without chemical additives. And as used filters are discarded and decompose, the filter media converts into harmless carbon dioxide and water.
Particles a HEPA filter alone might miss are captured with an electrostatic
charge. HEPASilent™ technology moves particles through an enclosed ion chamber,
which attaches a charge to the particle itself. Charged particles cling more
easily to the filter media, resulting in higher filter efficiency overall.
Because most electrostatic air cleaners charge the filter media itself, the
charge dissipates over time and renders the filter less efficient. By constantly
charging incoming particles, instead of the filter, HEPASilent™ technology keeps
on working effectively and reliably.
Superior Quality
Blueair is designed, engineered and built for people who expect the very best
and don't want to compromise on health, design or function. The Blueair system
housing is made of galvanized Swedish steel, rather than less durable plastic.
The fan and blower are manufactured by EBM, a maker of telecom and medical
equipment. Blueair systems offer an exceptionally long product life and carry a
10-year limited warranty.
Quiet
Sophisticated materials and precision engineering allow Blueair to clean indoor
air without the noise associated with less advanced units. On the lowest
setting, the units emit no more sound than a desktop computer. To achieve
exceptionally quiet operation, Blueair's patented HEPASilent™ filter technology
traps particles two ways: with mechanical and electrostatic filters. This
combination creates a filter system through which air flows freely. Most air
cleaners require a powerful, noisy fan to pull air through densely packed
filters. Since air passes easily through Blueair filter media, the fan doesn't
have to work as hard or as loud. Even the housing is designed with quiet
operation in mind, replacing sound-sonant plastic with noise-muffling steel.
Easy to Use
Plug it in, select the speed setting, and forget it. Blueair works so quietly,
at first you may find yourself wondering if it¹s turned on. Just check the
bright blue power on light. Blueair filters require no weekly additives or
filter washing. The grilles and powder-coated steel exterior are easy to wipe
clean, and won't pick up grime and oily stains the way plastics can. When the
filter needs to be replaced (twice yearly), just open the lid, lift out the old
filters and drop the new ones in. No screws, hooks or tools and less than one
minute of your time are required. Used filters are 100% recyclable, and release
no toxins into landfills or the air.
Energy Efficient
Blueair's phenomenally low power usage means you can run the system 24/7 without
a jump in electricity consumption. In fact, it costs about the same to clean the
air in your home as it does to power a single light bulb: only 15 watts on low
to 95 watts on high.
Environmentally Aware
Blueair products offer exceptional performance without polluting the
environment. Blueair replaces standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter
fibers, which can harm the environment when released into the waste stream, with
safer, nontoxic polypropylene. This revolutionary filter media is one of the
least harmful plastics, producing only carbon dioxide and water as it
decomposes. Because polypropylene is waterproof, our filters naturally resist
contamination from bacteria, viruses and mold, without chemical additives or
washes. Blueair even uses a special powder coat finish that produces no chemical
outgassing.
Award-Winning Design
The union of visually pleasing form and effective function is a hallmark of
Swedish design, and Blueair is no exception. Its sleek contemporary look has
earned Blueair one of the most prestigious design awards in Scandinavia, the
Excellent Swedish Design award. In fact, the Blueair resides in a permanent
exhibit at The National Museum in Stockholm. At Blueair, we design air
purification systems to meet your home¹s aesthetic standards without sacrificing
performance.
