Particulate Air Filters

air filters designed specifically to remove particulate contaminants such as dust, dust mites, mold spores, pollen & pet dander

We strongly recommend the use of a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter to remove airborne particulate including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and dust mites from the air. Medical grade or "true" HEPA will remove 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger from the air, and they will maintain or increase their effectiveness over time. No other filter technology offers comparable long-term effectiveness with so little maintenance. To learn more about HEPA, click here.

We carry 2 lines of HEPA air filters, Austin Air and Airpura. Both have excellent quality HEPA filters and are backed by strong warranties. Each brand offers a number of filter options. Selection of an appropriate model should be based largely on the secondary contaminants you wish to remove since all of these systems will do an excellent job of particulate removal. Consideration should also be given to your budget, size of room (air processing rate), the amount of HEPA media, and filter life.

Air Processing Rate:
Austin Models: 400 cubic feet per minute except Jr. models (200 cubic feet / min.)
Airpura Models: 560 cubic feet per minute

Amount of HEPA Media:
Austin Models: 60 square feet except Jr. models (30 sq. ft)
Airpura Models: 40 square feet except I-600 which features 100 sq. ft
