7. Filter Sanitization
Air filters serve as a breeding ground for micro-organisms. The fabrics within an air filter allow micro-organisms attached to trapped dust particles to reproduce and/or breed. In which case, it is imperative that an air purifier (such as a Hepa filter) have a sanitizing device located next to the filter. Otherwise, the growing populations of microbes will be circulated into the air. A UV lamp, ionizer, or ozone generator can be used for this purpose, although a germicidal UV lamp is most effective at destroying micro-organisms.
The UV lamp in the New-Aire Air Purifier is placed directly behind the air filter cartridge, enabling it to thoroughly sanitize the air filter. The New-Aire XJ-3000C also has an ozone generator located near the filter that can be activated for even added filter sanitization.
