What is an Ionic Breeze Purifier?
As strange as it may seem, there is more pollution in the air inside a house than outside of it. While we may be confronted with all kinds of pollutants and allergens outdoors, these are quickly dispersed in the open air. But a house is designed to keep energy (such as artificial heat or cold) inside it, while keeping the forces of nature (wind, rain) outside. As a result, air is circulated very slowly inside a house. Slow circulation means the air is replaced less often, and what impurities are there tend to remain.
To improve air quality indoors, people have invented indoor air purifiers such as the Ionic Breeze Purifier. Often a family will decide to use air purifiers because one or more members of their household have allergy or respiratory problem and something in the house is triggering their condition. For example, a wife may be allergic to smoke, and her husband is a smoker. Or, the family may have adopted a new puppy or kitten and one of the children has asthma. We are not always ready to part with a chain-smoking spouse, and we certainly don’t want to give up our best friend. Air purifiers are a great help in these situations.
The Ionic Breeze Purifier is one of the most commonly used brands of air purifier. Most purifiers use a fan to draw air in and a filter to purify it. Unfortunately this system causes a lot of noise and requires frequent filter replacement. Air ionizers offer a convenient alternative: they are quieter and don’t need filters. Instead they attract airborne dirt and allergens to a charged plate, just as magnet attracts iron. Aside from being quiet and hassle-free, this purifier is energy-efficient, using only 10 watts of power. In contrast, a HEPA filter air purifier consumes about 180-250 watts and needs to have its filter replaced often.
However an air purifier is not without possible problems. First, the collector plates must be cleaned often if they aren’t to lose their effectiveness. Second, those impurities that are charged and attached to walls and appliances can return to the air if not wiped off immediately. And third, because these devices have no fans, it is argued by some that they can’t purify air more than a few meters away from the unit. So you may want to use several ionizers.
Another issue raised against the Ionic Breeze Air Purifier is that it leaves small amounts of ozone in the air. Ozone is a type of gas capable of destroying harmful bacteria and odors. If you’re going to run the air ionizer constantly, you should be aware of its ozone emission level since ozone can cause breathing problems.
An air ionizer may be good for you if you want more indoor air control but have no serious breathing problems. Make a comparison of the various types of air purifiers to find the one that suits your needs.
