 IQAir Air Purifier Selection |
 When selecting an IQAir air purifier, you first need to ask yourself: What types of indoor air impurities do I need to
eliminate? Most allergy and asthma sufferers purchase an air purifier from the IQ HealthPro series; these air purifiers effectively
control mold spores, pet
dander, dust mite allergen,
pollen, and other indoor air pollution. Next, ask yourself: How much area does the air
purifier need to cover? Most allergy and asthma sufferers place an air purifier in their bedroom since that is where they spend most of their time;
however, you may need to place an air purifier in another room to address specific indoor air quality problems. The most
popular IQAir HealthPro air purifier provides four air changes per hour in a room of 490
square feet (a minimum ACH of four is recommended for allergy and asthma sufferers), while the
smaller IQAir HealthPro Compact air purifier most effectively covers areas up to 450
square feet. If you have a problem with gases and odors, then you'll want the IQAir HealthPro
Plus, which covers 450 square feet and features the V5 Cell Gas & Odor filter, comprised of six pounds of activated carbon to reduce gases and odors
in the air.
If you have a serious problem with smoke, odors, ammonia, VOCs, or other chemical fumes,
then you'll want to invest in an air purifier in the IQAir GC or GCX series; these air purifiers feature at least 17 pounds of activated carbon in each unit and provide
four air changes per hour for an area of 440 square feet. The GC series includes the IQAir GC AM air
purifier for ammonia; the IQAir GC Chemisorber air purifier for chemicals like formaldehyde,
hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide; the IQAir MultiGas air purifier for a wide range of gases,
odors, and particulates, including tobacco smoke; and the IQAir GC VOC
for VOCs. For heavy-duty air cleaning situations, the IQAir GCX Series air purifiers have nearly twice the media as the GC Series units for enhanced filtration of smoke, odors, and fumes.
achoo! ALLERGY also offers IQAir Cleaners for commercial applications. The IQAir Dental
Pro air purifier is specifically designed to filter the air in dental offices, which are known for high levels of disinfectants, mercury, and
microorganisms. The IQAir Cleanroom H13 air purifier is designed for hospitals, infection
control units, laboratories, and cleanrooms, and it features the highest air delivery rate, the largest HyperHEPA filter, and longest filter life of any
IQAir air purifier. Found in hospitals worldwide, the IQAir Cleanroom H13 is louder and
more expensive than other models, but in terms of air purification and decontamination, it reigns supreme.

IQAir Air Purifier Technology – HyperHEPA™ Filter |
  Standard
HEPA air purifiers effectively filter particles down to 0.3
microns; however, some allergens (like tiny mold particles)
and many toxic substances can be much smaller than 0.3
microns and elude conventional HEPA air purifiers. The large IQAir HyperHEPA filter captures airborne particles down to 0.003 microns
with a guaranteed minimum 99.5% efficiency, which means that the IQAir air purifier can remove up to 100 times more allergens than standard air cleaners. The
IQAir air purifier was the world's first air purifier to pass the EN 1822 test, a stringent European certification standard that measures filtration
efficiency for particles smaller than 0.3 microns. IQAir air purifiers are the only air cleaners that feature an H13 certified HEPA filter (normally only
used in multi-million dollar cleanrooms). Even the IQAir pre-filter outperforms its counterparts in other air cleaners, capturing over 90% of larger
particles. If you’re looking for the top-of-the-line air purifier, then you've found it. IQAir manufactures the industry’s best air purifiers.

IQAir Purifier Advanced Smoke, Gas, & Odor Control |
Common household products and building materials often emit dangerous vapors. While most air cleaners eliminate small airborne
particles, few effectively eliminate smoke, gases, and odors. IQAir GC and GCX series air purifiers,
specially designed to target smoke, gases, and odors, will effectively eliminate tobacco smoke, ammonia, formaldehyde (a probable carcinogen), cooking
odors, and other toxic chemicals. With 17 pounds of gas phase filter media in each unit, the GC series is perfect for people who
have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Many factories, plants, and
laboratories use IQAir GC series air purifiers to control toxic fumes in the workplace. Just like professional gas masks, IQAir GC series air
purifiers maximize filter efficiency for different gases and odors by offering specific filter
cartridges.
 The IQAir GC AM air purifier specializes in absorbing ammonia, a chemical found in
many cleaning products which can cause difficulty breathing. The IQAir GC Chemisorber air
purifier rids the air of many dangerous chemicals including hydrogen sulfite, nitric acid, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and
formaldehyde. You may not even know that these chemicals are present in the air, but after prolonged exposure, they can cause respiratory disorders and
other illnesses. The IQAir GC Multigas air purifier specializes in the removal of chemical fumes and
tobacco smoke. Tobacco smoke is one of the most harmful and longest-lingering types of smoke. With over 4,000 different types of chemicals in tobacco
smoke, it's no surprise that many people are allergic to it. The IQAir GC VOC air purifier
specializes in the removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs, many of which are
probable carcinogens, emanate from household cleaning products, new carpet, furniture, and many plastics, adhesives, and building materials. For heavy-duty air cleaning situations, the IQAir GCX Series air purifiers have nearly twice the media as the GC Series units for enhanced filtration of smoke, odors, and fumes.

IQAir Purifier – Best Air Purifier for Allergies & Asthma |
 Poor indoor air quality leads to the accumulation of allergens and the appearance of symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes,
sinus problems, and difficulty breathing. As a favorite among allergy and asthma sufferers, the IQAir air purifier provides relief for these allergic
symptoms. Whether you're allergic to dust mites, pet dander, mold, or pollen, an IQAir air purifier will rid the air of the allergens that make you
sick. Unlike some popular ionic air cleaners, the IQAir air purifier does not emit any ozone (a powerful lung irritant that is especially dangerous for
people with asthma).  Asthma sufferers also appreciate the fact that the IQAir air purifier is clinically proven effective for controlling allergic asthma,
based on a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Many people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) also use the IQAir air purifier
to remove irritants from the air, and the IQAir purifier removes bacteria and other disease-causing microorganisms as well. Based on IQAir's mission to
provide superior quality air cleaning solutions and air quality diagnostics,
the American Lung Association selected IQAir to be
their exclusive partner for an Indoor Air Quality Education initiative.

IQAir Air Purifier – Recommended by Doctors, Trusted by Hospitals |
The IQAir air purifier is the top-recommended air purifier among medical and healthcare professionals. As a matter of fact, in 2003, after much rigorous testing, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority selected IQAir's advanced, medical-grade filtration system to control the spread of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus in their hospitals. In the IQAir Swiss production facility, each unit is tested for particle filtration efficiency, filter leakage and air delivery, then issued with its very own two-page
Certificate of Performance. Each IQAir unit is also certified as EN 1822 compliant, based on stringent testing that measures filtration efficiency for particles smaller than 0.3 microns.

IQAir Air Purifier – Quiet & Efficient Design |
Although the IQAir air purifier comes equipped with a strong fan that's about twice as powerful as the fan in most air purifiers, the
fan is not as loud as you would expect because it's individually balanced with ball bearings. Additionally, the fan sits in the center of the machine, so
the filter and the double-walled encasing absorb the noise. Moreover, eight shock absorbers limit fan vibration. IQAir air purifiers have six different fan
speeds, and on the two lowest speeds, the unit is nearly silent. All IQAir air purifiers now feature upgraded "red label" fans for increased air delivery, quieter operation, and
improved performance. See our
Air Purifier Noise Level Graph for comparison with other brands. Besides operating
quietly, IQAir air purifiers avoid creating a draft by evenly returning clean air through a 320° vented diffuser.
Because of their superior Swiss design and engineering, IQAir air purifiers avoid shortcutting, which is a problem for many air purifiers. Shortcutting
refers to wasting energy on cleaning air that has already been cleaned; this happens when the air outlet and the air intake are too close together. The IQAir
air purifier virtually eliminates shortcutting by positioning the air outlet and the air intake at opposite ends of the machine, thereby increasing air
cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, all IQAir air purifiers are triple-sealed to prevent internal leakage. First, the filter media is 100% sealed inside the
filter frame. Second, the patented 3D UltraSeal ensures perfect sealing between filter fame and housing. Third, individual seals on each housing module lock
it up airtight. Thanks to its efficient design, you can run a powerful IQAir air purifier for pennies a day—about the same cost as powering one or two light
bulbs.

IQAir Air Purifier – Easy to Operate & Maintain, Built to Last |
Advanced controls make the IQAir air purifier easy to operate and maintain. As opposed to filter change indicators that are pre-set on a timer, the IQAir intelligent filter life monitor lets you know when to replace your filter after taking into account actual use, speed settings, and air quality conditions. Choose your ideal performance level with six fan speeds. Most air purifiers have only two or three speeds. An integrated timer means that your IQAir air purifier can be programmed to run automatically. You may set the unit to run during office hours, or to turn on after you fall asleep. The remote control allows you to turn the unit on and off, select the fan speed, and activate the timer. All IQAir air purifiers come with a user guide video and casters for easy moving and positioning. We offer several IQAir air purifier attachments for special needs and situations.
IQAir filters last longer than conventional filters. Conventional air purifiers combine all the different filter types in one cartridge, which means that you have to replace all filters at the same time. With IQAir air purifiers, if only one filter type needs to be replaced, then you can save money by replacing that single filter and leaving the others in place. Once the intelligent filter life monitor lets you know that it's time to replace the filter, the revolutionary modular tower design allows you to snap new filters in place in a matter of seconds. See how easy it is to operate an IQAir air purifier by looking over these instructions on how to read and reset the IQAir air purifier's filter light indicators.
 Many air purifiers are composed of plastic or metal that will easily break or dent. The IQAir air purifier, however, is built to last for a lifetime. It’s manufactured from thick, fully cured, high-grade injection molded ABS that won't off-gas any chemicals. Each IQAir air purifier comes with its own IQAir Certificate of Performance. All IQAir systems come with a two to five year warranty, depending on the model. See achoo! ALLERGY's Air Purifier Return Policy for more information.

IQAir Air Purifier Health Benefits |
Because we live and work in buildings that are sealed tightly for energy efficiency, air pollution levels are two to five times higher inside the home than out, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We take 9 out of 10 breaths indoors, inhaling about two table spoons of airborne particles a day. Pollutants include allergens like dust, pollen, mold, and animal dander, as well as household odors and gases, VOCs, tobacco smoke, and other toxic chemicals. An IQAir air purifier will rid your air of these impurities and help you breathe better. IQAir units do not emit ozone, a powerful lung irritant that should be avoided by allergy and asthma sufferers. IQAir air purifiers provide hospital-grade air filtration, eliminating dust, mold, animal dander, pollen, bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing microorganisms. The IQAir air purifier is the top-recommended air purifier among medical and healthcare professionals, and it's used in hospitals, laboratories, and cleanrooms worldwide.

MCS and Mold
Reviewed by: David from Austin, Texas Allergy Capital
This is the best unit for people with MCS and problems with mold and particles. Other units I tried had lots of filter media like coconut shell, but the GC has a special blend of media that not only helps my MCS it also has reduced the particle in the air, Certified by the MFG to reduce by 99% It's the best thing I have found.

Great quality and well worth the cost.
Reviewed by: Chris H. Allergy and Asthma sufferer from Harrisburg, PA
This air purifier is amazing- I can't say enough good things about it! We recently got a cat...which I'm allergic to. I also have asthma. Since getting this air purifier, I can hardly tell there is a cat in the house. I barely ever have allergy symptoms. This is a very high quality machine and well worth the cost. The only negative is that it is loud on the highest setting (speed 6). Since it is programmable, I set it to run on high during the night while we are sleeping and I run it on medium the rest of the day and evening. You can hardly hear it running on speeds 1, 2 or 3.

You Gotta Live With It!
Reviewed by: Resting Easy from Atlanta
After two weeks of operation, my wife and I both feel better since we began using the IQAir HealthPro in our bedroom! The unit is very well designed and built. I love the filter life and the monitor. An unanticipated benefit is that the 360 degree air discharge means that there is no noticeable draft, unlike some units that make you feel as though you're sitting next to a small tornado. It's also rare today to find a product that is individually tested, with the test results recorded for your unit by hand. I just wish I had found the product before I wasted time trying low-end "name brand" filters from discount stores. Believe me, there are no economies there! We're already anticipating additional IQAir units for other areas of our house.
