Features: Blueair is the system for people living with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, or for anyone who wants cleaner, more breathable air. The 501 effectively purifies air in rooms as large as 620 square feet. Using patented two-stage HEPASilent™ technology, it captures 99.97% of the tiniest 0.1 micron particles on level one, including allergy-provoking pollen grains, dust mites, mold spores and pet dander particles. Our efficient SurroundAir™ vent system delivers exceptional air exchange (up to 500 cubic feet per minute) without annoying drafts, performance that earned the 501 Best of Class ranking in independent AHAM testing of Clean Air Delivery Rate. Easy maintenance: simply open the unit's lid, lift out and drop in filters every 6 months. Choose the optional SmokeStop Filter Kit for better protection from smoke and other airborne gases. Frequently Asked Questions: Why should I consider an air purification system? Indoor air pollution is among the top five environmental risks to public health, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Lung-damaging indoor pollutants may include house dust, pollen and pet dander particles, and tobacco smoke, fumes released by chemical-based cleaners or gases produced by synthetic building materials. While air purification cannot solve all indoor air pollution problems, the technique is an important part of the EPA's recommended strategy for improving indoor air quality. What does CADR mean? To the consumer, CADR is an important tool for comparing the overall performance of different makes and models of air cleaners. CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate, a measure of the total volume of air that a particular air purification system cleanses of a specific pollutant in one minute. When the particle size and filter efficiency of any two air cleaners are the same (as they often are), CADR is the key to choosing the more effective system. How small is a micron and why does it matter? One micron is 1/25,000 of an inch. To understand just how small this is, consider that human hairs measure between 30 and 120 microns. Dust mite allergen measures from .1 to .3 micron and staphylococcus bacteria measures .7 micron. The size of a given particle helps to determine the degree of potential threat to human health. Particles ranging from .3 to .9 micron present the greatest health concern. Which Blueair unit is the best for me? Simple--it's a matter of room size. Each Blueair model uses HEPASilent™ filtration technology to achieve 99.9% efficiency at 0.3 micron and 99.97% efficiency at 0.1 micron. But filter performance is only part of the picture. Your air purifier must also be able to process the volume of air in the room where it operates. You need only compare the size of your room to the room size capacities listed below. Room Size ----------- Best Blueair System Up to 679 sq ft ------ Blueair 601 Up to 620 sq ft ------ Blueair 501 Up to 365 sq ft ------ Blueair 402 What type of Blueair filter do I need? Choose a filter type based on the kinds of pollutants (particles and gases) that may be present in your particular environment. Blueair's standard HEPASilent™ filter provides efficient filtration for environments where particles are the primary concern and gases are secondary. For any environment in which removing gaseous pollutants (including tobacco smoke) is a priority, we recommend the optional SmokeStop filter. Can Blueair systems trap airborne bacteria? The answer is a qualified "yes." No air filtration system is 100% effective at removing 100% of all bacteria and viruses. However, Blueair's combination of mechanical and active electrostatic filtration provides exceptionally high levels of protection. Our HEPASilent™ technology traps and removes 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 micron. However, because bacteria may not behave in exactly the same way as non-living particles in the context of filtration, bacteria-specific tests of Blueair systems are currently underway. How can I get the most from my Blueair system? 1. Close your windows and doors. 2. Run your system 24 hours per day. 3. If visible "fluff" builds up on the outside of the air intake grids, as it can in dustier parts of the world, simply vacuum it away or wipe clean with a damp cloth. How often should I change the filter in my Blueair unit? In order to maintain the high performance level you expect from Blueair, we recommend filter replacement at a six month interval. Superior QualityBlueair is designed, engineered and built for people who expect the very best and don't want to compromise on health, design or function. The Blueair system housing is made of galvanized steel, rather than less durable plastic. QuietSophisticated materials and precision engineering allow Blueair to clean indoor air without the noise associated with less advanced units. On the lowest setting, the units emit no more sound than a desktop computer. Energy EfficientBlueair¹s phenomenally low power usage means you can run the system 24/7 without a jump in electricity consumption. In fact, it costs about the same to clean the air in your home as it does to power a lightbulb. (15W on low) Environmentally AwareBlueair products offer exceptional performance without polluting the environment. Blueair replaces standard glass filter fibers, which can harm the environment, with safer, nontoxic polypropylene. Award-Winning Swedish DesignThe union of visually pleasing form and effective function is a hallmark of Swedish design, and Blueair is no exception. Its sleek contemporary look has earned Blueair the Excellent Swedish Design award. Easy to UsePlug it in, select the speed setting, and forget it.
