Air Purifier Filters (46 items found)

A well-maintained air purifier can keep the air quality high in your home. To work effectively, a purifier's air filters need to be replaced from time to time, and the air purifier filters range here at Ace contains products designed and tested to fit popular purifier models.

What Do Air Purifier Filters Do?

Air filters work to remove many kinds of pollution from your home, helping to protect your health and increasing your daily comfort. Some of the most common pollutants that purifiers can handle include:

• Traffic fumes from nearby highways
• Dust blown around by your heating system that's not caught by the main furnace filter
• Cooking smells and airborne grease particles
• Pet hair, dust mites, pollen, and other common allergens
• Smoke particles from tobacco, fireplaces, or outdoor sources
• Mold and mildew spores

Depending on your local climate, an air purifier can also be used alongside a humidifier or dehumidifier to provide the right atmosphere in your home, with less pollution and ideal moisture levels for your comfort.

Two Main Kinds of Air Purifier Filters

Although all purifiers are designed to improve air quality, there are two main technologies used to do so which rely on two different types of air filters: HEPA filters and activated carbon filters.

HEPA Air Filterstrong>

A HEPA air filter is made of tightly woven and pleated material that physically captures particles as they're pumped through the filter. A HEPA filter can be made using fiberglass, which provides a high filtering level but also blocks some airflow, meaning the purifier needs to work harder. More modern HEPA filter designs use a lighter synthetic textile-like weave that has the same filtering ability but allows higher airflow for more efficient use.

Activated Carbon Filters

Activated carbon filters use a treated form of carbon to make an extremely fine filter that's capable of capturing gases, odors, and the smallest of pollutant particles. This makes carbon filters ideal if your air-quality problems are based more on fumes than dust, pet hairs and other common household contaminants.

The efficiency of activated carbon filters can be improved even more by fitting an ultraviolet treatment system to the filter, and our range includes replacement UV light bulbs to keep your carbon filter working at peak performance.

Many people choose to install both HEPA and activated carbon filters, either in the same multi-filter purifier or in separate units, for the highest protection levels
