Today's lifestyles mean that people
spend 60-90% of their time indoors. The air inside even the
"cleanest" home is loaded with millions of invisible pollutants
that may be causing adverse health effects. More than 38
million Americans exhibit some sort of allergy or respiratory
problem day in and day out.
Harmful particles caused by seemingly harmless and necessary items such as building materials, cleaning products, pets, home office machines and appliances, are continually recirculating through a homes heating and ventilating system, affecting the indoor air quality. These pollutants if not diluted, can build up to proportions that would be considered illegal in the atmosphere. Today's energy efficient homes are so well insulated and "tightened" that the previous dilution by outside air has been virtually eliminated. Electrostatic air filtration is a permanent, cost-effective way to significantly improve the quality of the indoor air. We have been designing and manufacturing washable electrostatic air filters since 1957 because of the media's effectiveness and durability. The filter fabric's inherent electrostatic charge enhances filtration by drawing particulates onto fiber surfaces like iron fillings onto a magnet. Static electricity, being static, does not flow like electrical current, and therefore does not discharge over time or require either grounding or insulation.
