Thank you for visiting Airgle.com. An air purifier is a device which removes contaminants from the air. These include harmful particles like allergens, smoke, mold, pet dander and dust. Air purifiers also capture chemicals, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Depending on the design they can remove or kill bacteria and viruses in room air. The information below will help you select the type of air purifier device which will work best for your environment.

Since there are many different air purifiers on the market, always check the features and technology a manufacturer offers. Beware that not all air purifiers are equally effective in removing containments. For example, some electrostatic air purifiers that do not need filter replacements may produce and emit ozone. Here are the most important features you will need to consider to make an informed decision.

Air Purifiers with High Air Flow Capacity:  Effective air purifiers draw air from the room with a fan, clean the air, and send it back out into the room. This means the air flow rate plays an extremely important role in defining the cleaning capacity. Disclosed by Consumer Reports, large air purifiers are generally better than small air purifiers because large ones are equipped with a large fan/motor. How much air flow do I need? It depends on the room size and application. You need fresh and clean air to live. Without sufficient air exchange, cleaning the air is an impossible task. Air Changes per Hour (ACH) is a measure of how many times the air within a defined space is replaced within a single hour. Physicians generally recommend an ACH of 4 to 5. The calculation Airgle uses is:



How do I know if an air purifier can exchange the air 4-6 times per hour? You will need to understand CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). The higher the number, the more air is being forced through the air purification system. Airgle recommends at least rated 330 CFM or Above. Beware of the difference between rated/delivered CFM and CFM; CFM generally refers to air flow delivered by Fan. Rated/delivered CFM is what you look for, and that measures the air flow rate recorded at the air purification system's air outlet. The PurePal air purifier (AG800) has an extremely high-rated air flow.

Air Purifiers with 100% sealed designs:   Many popular air purifiers only meet 25% of their claims. How could a HEPA filter with 99.97% efficiency only meet less than 25% of the claims? The answers are the air purifier manufacturers claim their efficiency based on the filters, not the whole air purification system. The machine is not 100% sealed. System leakage allows air to bypass the filters – the poor construction allows more air to bypass the filters than is actually forced to go through. Airgle PurePal Series air purifiers are engineered with a pressure sealed design that forces 100% of polluted air through the filters. This should tell you why it's important to not just look for filter efficiency, but also the efficiency of the whole machine. Learn more features about Airgle PurePal series air purifiers.

Air Purifiers with Highest Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR): AHAM (the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) is the most reliable source of unbiased information for air purifier consumers. AHAM testing results and certification level is extremely important. There are many types of portable room air cleaners available in the market today. How effective are portable household electric room air cleaners at removing particles and other pollutants? Portable air cleaner models included in the AHAM program are independently tested on a periodic, on-going basis to ensure that the units meet the claimed ratings. Using the AHAM CADR rating seal, consumers can comparison shop, selecting the unit the meets their room size and performance needs. The PurePal systems are AHAM certified in all performance measures recognized by the EPA, Consumers Union, the Federal Trade Commission, and the American Lung Association. In an independent test performed by AHAM, the PurePal achieved CADR ratings that are among the highest in the industry. Tobacco Smoke > 450 Pollen > 450 Dust > 400.  Note that AHAM doesn't test molecular air pollutants. If you need an air purifier to combat Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), the PurePal MultiGas (AG950) air purifier ( packs in 15 pounds of premium activated carbon) would be the best choice for molecular and particle filtration. The AG950 is the only air purifier in the AHAM program that can have 15 lbs of carbon installed and still perform at over 320 CADR while meeting Energy Star Requirements.



Allergies and Asthma Air Purifiers:  Using a high quality air cleaner is important for anyone struggling with allergies or asthma. Investing in a cleaner from a manufacturer like Airgle helps reduce allergens and pollutants in your home, creating a healthier environment for everyone. Allergies and asthma are related – studies show allergy-induced asthma is the most common type of asthma in the United States. People looking for asthma relief are most benefited by a purifier using a multiple stage filtration process. These are designed to handle not only air particles and allergens, but also gases and odors that irritate airways. Our most popular and affordable system for allergy and asthma suffers, the PurePal air purifier (AG800) features 50 sq ft of HEPAfast media and 3 lbs of premium carbon. The PurePal achieved CADR ratings are among the highest in the industry. Tobacco Smoke > 450 Pollen > 450 Dust > 400.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) or Chemical Allergies Air Purifiers Over years, we have seen many people purchase HEPA air purifiers (a machine that only has HEPA or an extremely low amount of activated carbon/charcoal media) to reduce allergens, harmful particles or odors in their home and office. Airgle strongly recommends buying an air purifier with at least 3-15 lbs of activated carbon even if your machine is only used for filtering particles. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are found in many products in our homes and offices, such as paint, upholstery fabrics, carpets, plastic products, cleaning products, pressed wood, and cosmetics. These chemicals get into the air we breathe and cause health problems like headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; and dizziness. Furthermore, VOCs can also contribute to worsening of asthma, increase cancer risk, and cause damage to the liver and central nervous system. If the level of exposure is high, then an air purifier with 15 lbs of activated carbon is a MUST. The PurePal MultiGas (AG950) is our most popular air purifier to combat MCS, providing advanced technology for molecular and particle filtration.

Pollen, Dust, Pet Allergies, Tobacco Smoke and Mold Allergies: This is one of the most common applications for a home air purifier. All of these pollutants can be handled by any model of PurePal Series air cleaners. Our most popular, the AG800 air purifier, is highly recommended to remove these pollutants. With its affordable price, and features that include 50 sq ft of premium HEPAfast filter and 3 lbs of enhanced special blend carbon, it is ideal for capturing small particles such as tobacco smoke, dust mites, pollen, dander, smog, mold, chemicals, odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other pollutants.

Airborne Infection Control: The Airgle PurePal Clean Room (AG900) air purifier is specifically engineered for airborne infection control. Hospitals, medical clinics, health care facilities, severe allergy and asthma sufferers, and those with other critical respiratory problems will find the AG900 perfect for their needs. It features a 40 sq ft cHEPA filter with an efficiency of over 99.991%, 6 lbs of premium deep carbon bend, and our next-generation Titanium Pro module. The AG900 removes unwanted pollutants as small as 0.01 microns.

Bacteria and Viruses: PurePal Plus (AG850) and PurePal Clean Room (AG900) feature the next generation of UV and PCO technology called Titanium Pro. As pioneers in the promotion of clean, safe air, Airgle has developed the world's first and only photocatalytic oxidation technology that uses a catalytic metal plate, electronic component, germicidal UV lamp and UV lamp ballast in one self-contained disposable module. This patent-pending technology makes our cutting-edge purifiers easy to use and maintain. Titanium Pro kills bacteria and viruses down to 0.01 microns in size - 30 times smaller than what a typical HEPA filter removes.
