Replacement air filter kits are often thought of as ‘one more thing I have to remember to do or buy’. And yes, sometimes it’s that one more thing on the list that just drives you crazy. But when you consider the fact that indoor air pollution is responsible for more than 75% of allergies, colds, flu, and other illnesses, it definitely makes it easier to replace those filters-especially when you can enjoy that kind of benefit for a few cents per day.
What makes this rampant, even epidemic, case of poor indoor air quality more of a problem is the fact that Americans are spending over 90% of their lives indoors, either at home, at the office, or in some other building. That means we (and our children) are breathing polluted air over 90% of the time—air that has been shown in numerous studies to contain high levels of mold spores, bacteria, pollen, chemical residues, fibers, pet dander, pet feces, living dust mites, and more. And thank God for our immune systems or we’d be sick over half the time.
But our immune systems do begin to fail when toxins, bacteria, mold spores, etc build up to significant levels in the body. Often the body’s immune system begins to over-react at that point and attacks its own cells because the pollutants are lodged in and around the cells, creating autoimmune and other neurological disorders, hormone imbalances due to chemical build up, and more. This is why is it best to not only have the best quality air filters you can get in your room air purifiers or air purification systems, but also to replace them on schedule or a little sooner to maintain maximum air cleaning and filtration power.
HEPA air filters do get clogged and begin to restrict airflow, and this doesn’t take long. A HEPA filter without a pre-filter can become completely blocked in as little as 1-2 months, which increases power consumption and pushes polluted air out around the filter and into the room, increasing the chances of breathing harmful mold, dust, dust mites, chemicals, etc. Carbon or charcoal filter cartridges are even more of a hazard when they become saturated because they allow full-speed air flow through the filter without trapping the chemicals, resulting in greater exposure to pollutants than if there was no air purifier or filtration system blowing them around. This can be crucially important for those with severe allergies, MCS or respiratory issues, as their homes and rooms could become more polluted with filters that are overdue for replacement.
Industrial air cleaners with clogged filters not only create health hazards for the employees, but also increased maintenance, insurance, medical, and liability costs. It just isn’t worth the few dollars you might save by waiting a few months to buy replacement air cleaner filter kits. Those two or three months you wait to buy your replacement air filters will leave a window wide open for pollutants to cause problems that might bring down the entire business with an OSHA fine or lawsuit. And if someone gets sick in your home and they can find a way to attribute it to poor air quality they breathed while there, you might even get sued for that! It has happened.
Do buy your replacement air cleaner filters and replacement UV bulbs from the same manufacturer as the air purifier, however, Cheap aftermarket filters often do not fit as well, and may allow polluted air to pass around the filter, creating more air quality hazards-and this goes for room air purifiers, HVAC air cleaner filters, or any other kind of air purification system that uses filters. It’s like putting a little caulk around windows to prevent water from damaging the entire structure of the house—replacement air filters are a tiny expense that pays big dividends in maintaining your good health and quality of life.
