Most particles in the air are neutral in charge. Meaning they have the same amount of negatively charged electrons, and positively charged protons. A common type of air purifier uses what is called corona discharge air purifier. These type of air purifier create molecules called ions. When particles pass through these air purifiers electric current makes these particle either positively charged or negatively charged. Once these "ionized" particles from the air makes contact with objects that are opposite of thier charged, they stick to them instead of lingering in the air, or they may clump with other particle untill they are too heavy and fall to the ground. Filter types air purifier are not so good since they require periodic filter replacement. These type of air purifier are usually part of the air conditioning system. The purifier picture I see are the ones i just mentioned, and they are not filter types.

Alen fit50 won’t turn on at all. It is not the filter.

This appears to be an air filter rather than a Car or Truck, so I moved it!

Why HEPA certified Filters are more preferred?

The HEPA certified air purifier by far has been the best type useable since it is very efficient. The most advantageous aspect of this type of air purifier is that does not emit any by-product or secondary pollutants like ozone that is so very harmful. Buy certified HEPA filter air purifier to maintain the freshness of the room.

I have been looking to buy an air purifier and people keep telling me to get a HEPA. What does this mean?

HEPA is a type of air purifier. It stands for high-efficiency particulate air. To qualify as a HEPA filter by government standards the filter must remove 99.7% of all particles larger than 0.3 micrometers from the air. The following site lists the top 10 HEPA purifiers available online - http://www.air-purifiers-america.com/AP101_top10.asp.

I want to change filters. please help

Hi and welcome to DixYa, I am Kelly

The only two parts requiring any service are the activated carbon pre-filter and the HEPA filter. No tools are needed. To change either filter, disassemble the unit as shown.
1. Loosen the carrying handle by turning it counterclockwise and lift filter cage cover from unit.
2. Lift HEPA filter and activated carbon pre-filter from the base.
3. Remove the fasteners from the activated carbon pre-filter and remove it from the HEPA filter cartridge.
4. Replace filter(s) as needed, and discard used filters.
5. Wrap the activated carbon pre-filter around the HEPA filter cartridge and secure it with the fasteners provided

Pictures are here:

Where and how can I order new filters.

You never need to ORDER new filters for your SUN AIRE purifier unit. Our pre-filter is LIFETIME/WASHABLE 0.5 micron 2-stage electro-static and NEVER needs replacement. Our pre-filter saves you about $100-200 per year in expensive replacement HEPA/charcoal/carbon filters on other units. Made in America and built to last you a lifetime- SUN AIRE purifiers! www.betterair.com

Replacement filters

I own this same unit and you can sometimes find them on ebay for around 20 bucks for a set of 2 filters. The carbon filters I can usually find for 12 bucks for a set of 2. Just do a lot of google searching for them to find the best price

How to find the carbon filter to change it and how we should clean the hepa filter on our

You should contact Honeywell to find out their parts rep for your area. I don't think you will find these parts in the regular hardware store.

Use Google to find the Honeywell home page, and work from there.

Bionaire Hepa filter

The carbon filter should have the air passing through it first, before the hepa filter. The carbon filter removes the large particles which would otherwise block the hepa filter very quickly. Contact these guys if you need more help; http://www.bionaire.com/contactUs.aspx Hope this helps :)
