Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How Often Do I Change Purity Filter?
A: The recommended interval between changes is 3-6 months, depending upon which area of the country you live and your home environment. The effectiveness and efficiency of the filter depends on a number of factors, such as the location of your home, smoking, number of pets, remodeling, and clean ducts. Change when there is extensive discoloration on the green/white side of the filter.

Q: Does the Purity Restrict Air Flow?
A: Purity is a high-performance filter that has been designed to allow heating/cooling systems to operate within manufacturer's specifications for optimum performance. Most filters will restrict the air flow, some more than others. As more and more pollutants are captured and retained by the Purity filter, it may begin to restrict air flow. Change the filter often.

Q: Can The Purity Be Washed/Vacuumed For Re-Use?
A: The Purity is a disposable filter - it is not recommended that you wash it. Washing removes/reduces the special adhesive and anti-microbial that makes it so efficient in retaining and destroying micron-sized particles and micro-organisms. Vacuuming will only remove the surface contaminants; the small allergens will remain trapped in the adhesive.

Q: Has The Purity Been Tested?
A: Yes, by an independent testing laboratory. Tests show that Purity removed 99% of ragweed and 97% of nettle pollen (Pollen reduction levels may vary in individual homes). Purity filter is designed to offer the consumer the efficiency of an electronic filter with the installation ease of a disposable.

Q: What's In The Air You Breathe?
A: Air consists of various gases and both small and large particles, including allergens such as ragweed and nettle pollen, dust, smoke particles, bacterial spores, fungi, lint, pet dander and Vapors from Volatile Organic Compounds found in the common household chemicals and building products. 99% of these allergens are micron-sized and are invisible to the human eye. Some of these pollutants are known to aggravate allergies, irritate your lungs and respiratory systems, and make your home dirty.

Q: How Does Purity Filter Help Clean Indoor Air?
A: Most filters, until recently , were designed and recommended to protect furnaces and air conditioner components from accumulated dust. These filters were not highly efficient in reducing micron-sized pollutants, smoke particles, and odors. The high-performance Purity filter was designed and developed to provide cleaner air in your home by reducing pollutants by a true 4-stage filtration process.

Q: What Is The Difference Between Fiberglass Filter, Washable and Reusable Filters and Purity Air Filters?
A: Fiberglass filters and washable/reusable filters are less efficient in capturing micron-sized particles compared to Purity filters. When your furnace or air conditioning is on, or if you run the fan continuously, the air circulating in your home passes through the filter and Purity filter, by its unique design and materials used, captures and retains the pollutants, reducing airborne pollutants.
