Cat Hair Air Purifier - 4 Filters That Will Make Your Purifier Effective




Cat hair is a fact of life if your cat lets you live with him or her. The additional hair can range from unsightly to unhealthy. There's nothing like having cat hair rain down when the heat or air conditioning comes on in the middle of dinner for guests.

But the health issue that literally attaches to cat hair is even more of a problem. Cat dander (small dead skin flakes) is a powerful allergen that can trigger asthma and allergies and is almost always attached to hair.

Being able to remove both hair and dander is important. Check the technical specifications of the unit you are considering making sure it has following 4 filters. Only then can your cleaner be effective at solving your problem.

One of the most important features in any cleaner is multiple filtrations. This means that each set of filters is designed to remove particles of different sizes based on the openings in the filter.

The benefit to you is that instead of having one filter catch everything, fill up quickly, and need replacing every 6 months, you have multiple filters that are geared to specifically remove only certain size particles.

This means each filter lasts longer, and the overall benefit is that you are not spending money to replace filters. And you are not losing filtration time due to frequent maintenance. Multiple filtration is both cost effective and efficient.

Large Particle Pre-Filter---This is the first line of defense against the particles you can see such as cat hair. But the benefit is that it can remove particulates that are not necessarily a result of your feline friend. It is designed to remove dust and hair from both you and your pet.

Medium Particle Pre-Filter---This is the second line of defense designed to remove mold and mildew spores, and seasonal pollens that find their way indoors.

HEPA-This term is a common one in the air purification industry and is formed by using the first letters of the following 4 words---high efficiency particle arresting. By definition this type of filter must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are.3 microns in size or greater. This includes dander, bacteria, and viruses.

Carbon Cloth---Originally designed by the British Military to combat chemical warfare, this type of filter is excellent at removing gases, odors, and airborne chemicals, and because it is a cloth, it gives an added layer of particle elimination.

Checking to make sure your cleaner contains all of these filters will save you time, money, and enjoy. And you'll be surprised at how much more enjoyable life with your cat can be without so much hair in the air.
