FiltreteTM air purifiers offer first class performance for a range of airborne contaminants. In some recent research by 3M, tests at the University of Reading showed that dead skin cells, dust mite debris and mould spores are “highly prevalent” in our homes. The testing panel were very pleased with the results. One parent stated:
“I was a bit sceptical at first but now that we’ve had an improvement in my son’s asthma and a reduction in the use of his inhalers I am completely sold on the product.”
Another commented:
“My son’s asthma improved to the point where we were able to significantly reduce the use of the corticosteroid inhaler. His dermatitis improved, as did the itchy nose, eyes and wheezing. I think the difference was very noticeable after I sent the filter back for testing. I didn’t have a replacement filter and within 3 or 4 days of not using the Filtrete air purifier I noticed my son was wheezy in the mornings and has needed to use his ventolin inhaler more...”
Since introducing the FiltreteTM air purifiers from 3M a couple of years ago, they have been hugely successful. We are now pleased to offer the latest addition to the range, the FiltreteTM Ultra Quiet.
As we all know allergies are widespread and at some time in their life 1 in 4 people suffer from some form of allergy. Every year the number of allergy sufferers increases by about 5% with as many as half of them being children. Without even realising it, we all breathe air which contains millions of microscopic dust, pollen and mould spore particles. It’s these particles, along with a host of others, that cause allergic reactions including asthma and hay fever, which affect so many people in the UK today.
The Ultra Clean and Ultra Quiet air purifiers use a Filtrete electrostatic filter, which is 99.9% effective at removing pollen, dust mite allergen, mould spores and pet dander. It also captures household dust, bacteria and particles that carry odours and particles that can carry viruses, smoke and smog.
How the electrostatic filter works As the air passes through the electrostatic air filter it produces friction that creates a natural electrostatic charge between the polypropylene and the layers of bonded polyester fibres. The electrostatic charge attracts minute household dust and other particles to the electrostatic filters like a magnet. An electrostatic filter is effective at capturing particles down to 0.1 micron. The 3M electrostatic filters are completely ozone free.
The Filtrete air purifiers by 3M use an electrostatic filter that has a 30% higher clean air delivery rate than a similar sized HEPA filter. They use patented filter technology which allows for more air to pass through the purifier, thus removing more of the particles from your air*.
Most permanent and washable filters quickly loose their electrostatic properties through washing and clogging. Filtrete uses replaceable electrostatic filters to deliver the enhanced filtration of an electrostatic filter on a sustained basis. Filtrete Room Air Purifiers deliver:
Up to 30% more air circulation*
Up to 24% higher pollen capture rate*
Up to 12% higher dust capture rate*
*Than a Hepa Air Purifier with a comparable room size and CADR.
