Why the cheap, classic air purifiers are actually the most expensive and overall the worst
Classic air purifiers and their hidden costs
A very important first factor to consider is the recommended maximum size of the room in which the air purifier will operate. This specification is an estimate made by the manufacturers based on their own tests and is by no means independently verified. So it might be a good idea to buy a purifier with a larger maximum coverage than your room.
Cleaning filters on classic purifiers regularly
The filter is the most important element of any classic air purifier. All the rest of the device does is suck air through it. Make sure the filter supplied does what it’s supposed to. If there is no activated charcoal coating, the air purifier will not remove smoke, cooking fumes or odors. If it’s not a 100% HEPA filter, it most likely won’t remove allergens well enough to reduce allergy symptoms(1).
No ordinary air purifier will completely remove germs from the air. Even when a purifier specifically says it will kill bacteria, it can only do so to germs that are absorbed into it. Bacteria and viruses can still collect on surfaces, pets and/or humans before they can be ‘miraculously‘ sucked out of the air and vaporized.
Another drawback of classic air-purifiers is related to the price of replacement filters. You’ll need to replace your filter at least once a year – this will vary depending on the model and how much you use it. It can become a significant expense and an extra worry. Some air cleaners let you know when it’s full, but if not – changing the filter every 3 to 6 months is highly recommended.
Research the market thoroughly beforehand
TEQOYA purifiers are capable of producing hundreds of billions of negative ions and they work like a natural vacuum cleaner. It does not rely on filters or consumables and is based on a unique, patented technology. By functioning non-stop it always maintains cleanliness, costing a maximum of 7 Euros per year (on average). It even has a very small carbon footprint.(2)
It’s time to learn the truth about the effectiveness of HEPA filter air purifiers!
We know you want to enjoy a better quality of life and create a safe environment around you for all family members. So you should know the following about classic HEPA-filtered purifiers:
– The available models on the market are cheaper but have lower efficiency
– They can release volatile organic compounds through the activated carbons they contain
– Changing filters can be costly and dangerous, filters can contain live micro-organisms
– Most HEPA filters are made of glass-fibers which are carcinogenic if inhaled (if the filter disintegrates for example)
If we also take into account the fact that most users do not change the filter on time, we can see that the old filter, still in use, only creates secondary pollution. Consider that HEPA filtration requires more attention to consumables, so the costs outweigh the initial estimates.
So instead of cleaning the air, the classic HEPA purifier can even end up polluting it with harmful micro-organisms grown on its filtration medium.
Teqoya is the ideal solution for air filtration without risk or later costs
The air ionization technology is due to Teqoya’s product research and development and is successfully implemented in tens of thousands of homes or offices.
Together with Teqoya you too can enjoy clean air in your home without the worry of consumables or secondary pollution.
This technology gets rid of pollutant particles by causing them to clean the indoor air once they fall to the ground. The absence of a filtration system means these particles are not trapped, but it also allows the purifier to operate without any sound perceptible to the human ear, making it extremely easy to use and maintain. TEQOYA purifier is particularly recommended for:
- Home living areas: living rooms, bedrooms, or wherever you’d like to spend your day
- Beauty and aesthetics-related professional settings, where it can capture odors from various products and contribute to the overall well-being of the space.
- Wellness business or Spa
