Besides, this function introduces a gentle stream of air to prevent the growth of new germs and bacteria. In the long run, this feature ensures that you enjoy an environment that’s free of allergens and disease-causing organisms.

Pre-Filter

The first stage of protection against airborne pollutants is the patented preliminary filter that traps large and visible pollutants like hair, lint, fur, and dust. This unit comes with two pre-filters, which implies a wide filtration surface to ensure that no large particles go into the unit. These filters also protect the HEPA filter from clogging up and damage and thus prolonging its lifespan.

HEPASilent Ultra Filter

This is the second stage of filtration. It utilizes similar technology as the true HEPA filter but features germ-killing properties. This filter traps 99.97% of airborne pollutants as small as 0.01 microns and kills 99% of these contaminants to ensure that they are not re-introduced into your indoor environment.

Activated Carbon
