Air filters are designed to trap unwanted and harmful particles in the air and remove them, providing you with cleaner, safer air to breathe. Health benefits experienced when using air filters include everything from a sounder nights sleep to a notable reduction in asthma attacks. The immune system strengthens in purified air, and those who experience allergies of any kind will appreciate air that doesnt irritate symptoms such as runny nose and itchy eyes.
Austin Air medical grade air filters stand out above the rest, utilizing a four-stage HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration system designed specifically for highly contaminated conditions indoors. HEPA is a class of air filter that meets the medical grade requirement of removing 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns from the air.
All filters inside these powerful devices are designed to last for five years of normal, residential use before they need to be replaced. To figure out which filter you need to order for your machine, simply check the label on the bottom of your unit. All standard sized (not Junior) filters measure 14.5 high and are compatible with all standard sized units, allowing you to easily upgrade your unit. For example, if you want to upgrade from the Healthmate to the Healthmate Plus, just order and install a Healthmate Plus filter into your Healthmate standard unit.
The same rules as above apply to all Junior sized units. Junior filters are 11.5 high.
