FAQ

anything

Yes, True HEPA (H13+) is the recommended standard for allergy sufferers. It captures 99.97% of microscopic allergens including pollen and dust mites.

 

Match CADR rating to your room size. A purifier should cycle the room’s air 4-5x per hour. Our room size guide helps you calculate exactly what you need.

 
 

Some ionisers produce trace ozone, which can irritate lungs. We recommend HEPA-based purifiers, especially for children or people with asthma.

 

Most HEPA filters last 6–12 months. Carbon pre-filters often need replacing every 3 months. Always check your model’s recommendation.
