Air Purifier: Austin Air, HealthMate
Location: Aiken, South Carolina
With the use of an air cleaner, many families are finding how great it is to spend time in a room that is free of particles, gases, odors and chemicals. There are a variety of contaminants which can lower the quality of indoor air inside a home such as pollen, dust, smoke or cooking odors. In order to remove these toxins from the air and reveal fresh and high-quality air, many families have turned to the use of an air purifier in a specific room in the home or office. The HealthMate unit by Austin Air is a popular air purifier that many families choose for their situation because it encompasses the right materials and media to remove most of the common household contaminants found in indoor air. The air cleaner is proven to effectively eliminate most of the toxins which can cause the quality of the air inside a room to go down.
The HealthMate was a much needed asset to the Rankin home in Aiken, South Carolina. The family knew that an air purifier would be needed for their family room because it was the room the family spent most of their time in. The family members all suffer from mild cases of allergies which can be affected when contaminated air re-circulates in a room they spend an extended period of time in. The Rankins also have a family cat and they were noticing the cat hair and pet dander that was floating in the air and causing allergic reactions. The family chose an air purifier which could easily and effectively remove these allergens from the air but was also strong enough to handle the large family room.
The Rankins chose this model of air purifier because it had a basic yet efficient filtration system and had all the effectiveness necessary to remove the contaminants from their family room. The air purifier contains a durable and reliable HEPA filter which is proven to remove 99.7% of all particles in the air that are 0.03 microns in size. This includes most of the pet dander, pollen and dust particles which were causing the Rankins the uncomfortable symptoms of their allergies. The air purifier also contains a PERMAFILT pre-filter. This pre-filter not only helps to remove larger particles of contaminants from the air but it is also very helpful at prolonging the life of the HEPA filter. The air that is taken into the air purifier first goes through the pre-filter and then through the HEPA filter, allowing the HEPA filter to only have to eliminate the smaller particles of contaminants in the air. The Rankins found their air purifier was relatively low maintenance because of the extended life of the HEPA filter.
After using the air purifier in the large family room for a day, the Rankins already noticed a change in their health. They could spend a long period of time in the room without any sneezing or coughing. The family cat could also spend time with the family and be petted by the children without the possibility of the pet dander causing allergic reactions in the family. The air purifier made the indoor air free of these allergen triggers and safe for the entire family to breathe in for long periods of time.
