Air purifier ionizer

Air purifier ionizer

  Air purifier ionizer is a similar device to an ozone air purifier. May be you think they are both the same but in fact they are not. It is true that both devices emit ozone and ions in the air. An air purifier ionizer will produce negatively charged particles to stick to the positively charged airborne particles (many researches revealed that most of the airborne particles such as dust are positively charged). These particles just fall on the floor or stick to the surfaces – walls, furniture etc. so your air will become cleaner but not really purified.

Some air purifier ionizers have metal plates inside them. They are negatively charged so any particle that passes through the purifier simply sticks on them. Air purifier ionizers do produce small amounts of ozone.

“when shopping for an air ionizer you should know all the different features that this system has.”

However, they are not enough to actively eliminate airborne particles. On other hand air purifiers, ionizers are much safer than ozone purifiers are. Ozone cannot be dangerous in low concentration however many people find it irritating their lungs or intensify the symptoms or respiratory disease. Ionizer purifiers emit really low amount of ozone so you cannot really feel it. if a ionizer is combined with a true HEPA filtering system you will have a very efficient alternative to ozone air purifier. One common problem with air purifier ionizers is the large amount of ions that are produced. To be effective a ionizer should produce really large amounts of ions to actively clean the air.

Usually this amount is just too much and can cause headaches or sore throat. Another thing you should consider is that air purifier ionizers are not that successful in eliminating home odors. Many customers say that although they are satisfied with their purifiers they see no change in their home’s scent.

An air purifier ionizer simple does not eliminate cigarette smoke; cooking or pet odors that well so if this is one of your requirements you better consider another type of purifier. A combination of a charcoal pre-filter, a regular filter and a ionizer might be a great option if you want to fight air pollution and bad odors at the same time. There are many brands available at the market. Many of the leading home appliances companies are investing thousands into new technologies and innovation in order to provide the best range of air purifiers including traditional purifiers, UV purifiers, ionizers or a combination of all. Some of the most popular companies are Orack, Whirlpool, Biozone so start your research there.
