NANO O2 versus HEPA

Looking for a way to better indoor air quality, then it is important that you know and understand the difference in home air purification units. Not all systems are created equally, some can even be harmful. In an effort to help you become and informed consumer we are going to take a look at the two best filter types available. The HEPA and the NANO O2 air purification units are the best there are because neither release harmful ozone gases into your home air. Which, however, is the better filter system for you?

A HEPA filter is a “high efficiency particulate arrestor” in other words it is an air filter. It isn’t a brand of a filter either, it is a type of air filter that is used to clean and purify the air. The HEPA can filter out particles from the air to about .3 microns in size, with an efficiency rating of 99%. The HEPA will filter out and remove some of the smallest microns of allergens such as dust, smoke, pollen, dust mite allergens and animal dander.

HEPA air cleaners work most efficiently in one room at a time. A HEPA system will not clean your entire house. You will need and individual air purification unit for each room or a portable air purification unit. The HEPA filter can not pull air through doorways. So if you are thinking about placing a HEPA air cleaner in the hallway between your bedrooms you will be cleaning the hallway and not the bedrooms. A good HEPA air purification unit will get about 15 air exchanges per hour in an average size bedroom.

Some HEPA air cleaners also have the added feature of ultra-violet light system that will kill viruses, bacteria and fungi when that type of air enters the room. HEPA filters also have to be replaced every so often. Depending on the type of HEPA you have will determine how often it has to be replaced.

Then there is the NANO O2 system, which utilizes PCO, which is also known as the Photo-catalytic oxidation. The NANO O2 system not only cleans the air but sterilizes it as well. There is no need for filters or cleanings, ever. The NANO O2 uses that same technology that was used to combat SARS in China.

The NANO O2 works by sending out negatively charged ions that are the cleaning ions, they then attack the dust, pollen, mold, yeasts and fungus from the air. The NANO O2 will also remove viruses from the air. There have been numerous studies that also show a reduction in surface bacteria after using the NANO O2. The NANO O2 cleans and sterilizes the air in your home at 98%.

You can use a NANO O2 unit to sterilize and clean the air in your entire home. One unit can take care of 4000 sq ft. Instead of having to buy multiple units and replace filters over and over again, one purchase of the NANO O2 and you are set for the life of the unit.

There you have it, the low down on the two best air purification filters there are. Neither emit ozone gas into your home air and both remove about the same amount of pollutants from your air. The NANO O2 is an active purification system that can take care of your entire home and you will never have to replace the filter or perform maintenance on the unit. The HEPA passively cleans you air; can kill viruses if you pay more for the ultra-violet type. The NANO O2 does it all for you.

Scientific research has shown that the air you breathe has a major effect on your health. Get the unit that works… even when you don't want to. The NANO O2 eliminates up to 98% of Mold, Bacteria & Yeasts in your air helping to keep them from being transported and forming on your surfaces, even while you're at work.
