The Austin Air HealthMate Plus air purifier features all the benefits of a standard HealthMate unit, but also includes an enhanced odor control for those individuals sensitive to organic and chemical odors. The increased odor control effectively reduces/eliminates smoke elements and VOC (volatile organic compounds.
Coverage: 1,400 sq ft. (fan setting on high - moves 400cfm to clean a room up to 1,400 sq. ft.)
Why should I get the HealthMate Plus Model?
The top reason to consider the Plus over the regular model is it's increase ability to filter odors including smoke, multiple chemical sensitivities and volatile organic compounds. In general, this tends to be individuals with preexisting health issues, people residing in high particle and gas contaminated areas, and senior citizens.
How often do the filters need replaced?
Austin Air machines have two filters; an outside filter that traps large particulate matter and a much more heavy-duty HEPA filter that does the filtering out of small particulate matter.
1.) The pre-filter that wraps around the HEPA filter should be replaced approximately once a year depending on the amount of large particulate matter in your space. Cost: $27.50
2.) The HEPA filter is warranted for 5-years (see specifications below in the warranty section). You should only have to replace this filter once every 5 years. Cost: $324.99
If you are comparing an Austin Air machine to an IQ Air machine, you will find the price of an Austin Air machine is slightly lower than an IQ Air machine, but the real savings is in the life of the filters. IQ air you are replacing 2-3 filters every 1-2 years (approx. cost $270-$369). With Austin Air you only have a small pre-filter replacement cost each year and a more reasonable 5-year life to the HEPA filter.
Filtration Process:
Step 1: Large Particle Pre-Filter removes large particulate matter that can be seen by the naked eye, such as dust, hair and pet dander.
Step 2: Medium Particle Pre-Filter removes medium sized particles, such as molds, spores and pollen
Step 3: 15lbs of activated Carbon/Zeolite Blend removes chemicals, gasses and odors (ex. sulfuric acid, ammonia)
Step 4: 60ft. of true medical grade HEPA removes harmful micro-organisms, such as bacteria and viruses
