Product Description

HEPA air filters are made from very tiny glass fibers that are made into a tightly woven paper. This creates a filter consisting of a multitude of very small sieves that can capture extremely small particles, including some biological agents. Once trapped, contaminates and particles are not able to flow back into circulation, due to the highly absorbent pores of the HEPA air filter. HEPA air filters are largely considered the most effective type of air filter for solid particles, such as dust and other allergens. HEPA air filters remove 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size, almost 300 times smaller than the width of a human hair. The Atomic Energy Commission developed HEPA air filters during the Second World War. They were originally designed to remove radioactive dust from their plants. The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security recommends HEPA air filters. HEPA air filters are effective for solid and liquid particles, but not effective for gaseous particles. The XJ-3000C HEPA & ionic air purifier incorporates other technologies that are effective against gaseous particles, such as ionization and activated carbon filtration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surround air replacement filter, September 4, 2010

This is the replacement filter for the surround air. After I had spent months doing research on different air filtration systems, I did not just look at infomercials. I decided on surround air because it had 5 levels if purification and sanitizing. It was not super expensive. It had a longer warrenty than most. And a very important detail is that it was not expensive to maintain changing filters and such, it turns out to be about $2.50 a month. That seems a fair price to pay for waking with a clear nose and no headache.

Any air filtration system is only as good as the filters it uses. If your system takes these filters, you have about the best of the best for allergens, dander and smoke removal short of the condensing units used for commercial purposes. I think it might even do better than those smoke eaters in bars. The ion sanitation will really change the air in your place in less than an hour. I can't recommend this filter enough, my first one is still working perfectly 6 months later at 2 hours a day use.

Great unit and the filter is the most important part. I have used other air filters before this one seems to be the best at catch any airborn particles. The 1 drawback is as with most air filters that you need a fan or open window for the air to move around the room. I use mine in my basement and there is not a lot of circulation so I have a fan that I run to move the air. I can say that this filter does the trick while being a basement the air down there seems to be cleaner than any other room in my home. I do have a window in the basement that I do open sometimes to get fresh air down there and the filter removes any particles that may come in.
