How it Works - The Vicks® True Hepa Air Purifier can be part of an overall allergen reduction solution for your family.
Indoor air pollutants are unwanted and sometimes harmful materials in the air of every home. These particles and gases may cause allergic reactions when breathed into your lungs.
If you suffer from allergies associated with airborne particles (allergens), there are three recommended strategies for allergen reduction:
Control the source of the allergens by doing things such as vacuuming regularly and removing pollinating plants.
Ventilate your home when practical, replacing contaminated air.
Use an air cleaner.
This combination of strategies, including the use of a Vicks True HEPA Air Purifier, may result in reduction of airborne allergens in your home.
For best results, place the Air Cleaner near the source of pollutants or where it can process air of occupied areas.
Four Steps to Cleaner Air:
Activated Carbon - The Activated Carbon is on the surface of the Particle Prefilter and captures gases and odors from the air. When you replace the Prefilter every three months you automatically refresh the gas- and odor-capturing capability of the Vicks Air Purifier.
Particle Prefilter - The Particle Prefilter captures larger particles and prolongs the life of the HEPA Filter. It should be replaced every three months.
HEPA Filter - The HEPA Filter is capable of removing submicron size particles from the air passing through it - the filter captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Experts who recommend air cleaners recommend HEPA more often than any other type. This type of filter requires no cleaning or other maintenance and will last 1-3 years, depending on usage environment.
Ionizer - Ionizers release negatively charged ions which attach themselves to the very small particles passing through the filter. This negative charge allows them to attach to the positively charged filter on the next pass-through. Ionizers can also be effective in reducing odors.
Measuring Air Purifier Performance:
An Air Purifier's performance is determined by filter effectiveness and the air circulation capacity of the Purifier itself. Actual particle reduction in a room situation may vary, depending upon other factors such as the type of pollutant and its rate of introduction, as well as the amount of air processed through the filter. HEPA, one of the most efficient filtration technologies, stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air filtration. It is a "clean room" filtration technology originally designed for use in hospitals, the military and aerospace. HEPA filters are designed to capture even the smallest air impurities...as small as 0.3 microns!
Air circulation capacity is the amount of air drawn through the filter. This Air Purifier processes the amount of air in an average room (12 x 14 feet) approximately six times per hour. While the filter will not process all of the air in a room, more air passing through the filter will result in more filtered air being returned to the room air.
AHAM Certification Program (CADR rating for the air cleaner Model V9130).
This information is provided to assist consumers in comparing room air cleaners. These values represent performance that can be expected within the first 72 hours of operation. Subsequent performance may vary with use.
This air cleaner is suggested for use in a single closed room up to 192 square feet.
Room size rating conform to the AHAM Certification Program criteria of 80% smoke reduction. Higher Clean Air Delivery rates (CADRs) provide improved performance in all room sizes. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.
