What is an air purifier?

An air purifier or air cleaner is a type of appliance that is designed to remove, trap and purify airborne particulates and/or viruses that freely roam unnoticed in our air.

Are UV light air purifiers safe?

UV light is safe for our air purifiers because the UV light is enclosed and not exposed to direct contact with our eyes or skin. Our air purifiers with Ultra-violet UV light are certified and safe for consumer use. UV light, however, is not safe to look at directly or have it shining on our exposed skin.

Do UV air purifiers produce ozone?

Yes and No. The Ultra-violet lights we provide do not produce Ozone and are manufactured with high quality. There are, however, cheap and low-quality UV lights available on the market which can and do produce Ozone.

Is a UV light for your home's HVAC system necessary?

Absolutely! UV light has multiple benefits including disinfecting all air that passes through your HVAC system. You can learn more about the benefits of ultra-violet light by visiting our Platinum Carbon UV page.

Can air purifiers remove smoke smell and smoke odors?

Yes, our air purifiers are capable of removing the smoke smell and odors from all types such as tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke, cooking, burning smoke, and more.

What is a HEPA filter?

HEPA is a pleated type air filter (similar to that of your furnace filter). HEPA stands for "High-Efficiency Particulate Air".

MERV is a rating used in pleated filters to measure its effectiveness. MERV stands for "Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value". You can learn more about MERV by clicking here.

CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate. CADR is a measurement to determine how fast an air purifier can remove particulates from the air.

Is an air purifier effective for COVID-19? Can HEPA air purifiers capture the Coronavirus/COVID?

The answer is yes and no. Airborne COVID-19 virus entered into a high-quality air purifier such as the Platinum Carbon UV will be captured and/or destroyed. However, it is important to understand that no air purifier, manufacturer, or related should claim that their product can completely protect you against catching COVID-19 as a preventative measure.

Can you see the UV light at night in air purifiers?

You will not be able to see the UV light directly and it is not exposed in our air purifiers, however, you may notice a dim glow in very dark environments.

Does UV light kill mold and fungi?

Yes, specifically when passing through to exposed UV light molds, viruses, fungi, and more become sterilized which destroys their DNA which also prevents the bacterias from reproducing.

My air purifier makes the air smell like plastic, is that normal?

Our air purifiers do not offload a plastic-like smell. In our experience, only low-quality air purifiers offload plastic-like smells.

Which air purifier is best for allergies?

Any air purifier may help, however, a high-quality air purifier such as the RPS 600S portable air purifier will do the best possible job against all types of particulates including allergies, pet dander, and more.

Do air purifiers really work for dust, mold, and allergies?

Absolutely! Over the years we have received many testimonials of customer satisfaction with our products from alleviating allergies, bronchitis, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other breathing illnesses severity to better sleep, less dust, remove odors, and more!

Can air purifiers kill dust mites?

Yes, our air purifiers can capture and kill dust mites. The size of dust mites can range anywhere between 0.5-50 microns. Both the Platinum TrueHEPA and RPS 600S are capable of capturing dust mites.

What is a Photocatalytic Filter?

A Photocatalytic Filter is more of a process than an actual filter. With the help of Ultra-Violet UV light, the two combine to create a PCO reaction involving hydroxyl radical generation which disintegrates contaminants, leaving only harmless water vapor and CO₂.

What are Hydroxyl Radicals?

Hydroxyl Radicals are created from a Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) reaction utilizing a photocatalytic filter and UV-C light. This reaction produces Hydroxyls that target VOCs which pass through the PCO chamber. The amount of Hydroxyl radicals produced is limited to the surface area of the photocatalytic filter.
