Austin Healthmate Junior Plus (700 sq. ft.-- Sandstone)

How does it work? The Austin Healthmate Junior Plus air purifier employs the highest efficiency 5 stage air filtration system to ensure the best air purification performance in dust, smoke, odors and chemical removal. An advanced backward curved blower draws air through a durable 360 degree perforated steel air intake, and is channeled through a pre filter that traps larger particles, and then moves to the HEPA filter, which captures 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns in size (300 times smaller than the width of a human hair). The large activated granular carbon/zeolite canister with potassium iodide located beneath the HEPA filter is crucial for the effective removal of 4000 chemical substances and noxious odors in the air. The Austin Healthmate Junior Plus does not produce ozone, ions, or negative ions that can be dangerous to those with respiratory problems like asthma and emphysema. Activated Carbon& Zeolite with Potassium Iodide Activated carbon is one of the best-known substances for removing gases and odors from the air. The Austin Healthmate Junior Plus uses the best source of activated carbon derived from coconut shells. Zeolite is a natural cream-colored mineral that has the capability of capturing small molecules such as ammonia, formaldehyde and sulfides. Potassium Iodide is a catalyst that breaks down formaldehyde and related substances into a form more easily absorbed by the carbon/zeolite mixture.
