Honeywell Hepa Air Filters

All Honeywell hepa air filters are made of media filter fibers tightly bound together into a strong yet flexible weave. This mesh of fibers is able to capture the tiny particles of tobacco, dust, pollen, animal dander, bacteria and viruses as a flow of air is pushed through them. As long as a strong enough airflow is present, the filter can do its job in making the dispensed air fresh, sweet smelling and healthy.

A "hepa" air filter is recognized by the OSHA/EPA as one that can retain and filter out any particles that are down to 0.3 microns in size, and do so at a 99.97 percent efficiency rating. The term "hepa" stands for "High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance." They are instrumental in hospitals, laboratories, in NASA flight rooms, computer manufacturing plants, and any other place where foreign particles and heavy metal contaminants might damage or even harm important processes.

Other Characteristics of Honeywell Hepa Air Filters

Honeywell air filters have been praised by their reliable histories and that they come in three different filtering speeds. Honeywell's unique Odor-Lock technology reduces the strength of outside and inside odors three times more effectively than other brands. In some Honeywell hepa air filters, an Intelli-check filter monitor system reminds its owner ahead of time to purchase and change the filter before the unit is clogged with pollutants.

Another feature in many Honeywell hepa air filters is the QuietCare sound reducing setting. One push of a button can dampen the machine's noise and allow for a calmer, more inviting audio environment. This is a wonderful feature for bedrooms, nurseries, retirement homes, television and radio stations, and any other location that works better with low ambient noise.
