subject: Hay Fever Air Cleaner--4 Features To Choose In An Air Purifier For Hay Fever [print this page] If hay fever season brings miserable symptoms such as itchy eyes, congestion, clogged ears and nose, and watery eyes, filtering your air with an air purifier can help.
A high efficiency particle arresting or HEPA air purifier can relieve your hay fever symptoms by removing the pollen and other hay fever triggers from your indoor air. Here are 4 features to choose when selecting a HEPA air purifier to help with you manage your hay fever.
Select an air purifier that can remove pollutants at least as small as .3 microns in size. This will insure that your air purifier is effective in removing the pollen as well as dust, dust mites and other pollutants that can also contribute to triggering hay fever symptoms.
Choose an air purifier that is designed to run quietly and economically 24 hours a day. Constantly filtering the air means that pollutants are never given a chance to reach levels high enough to trigger an attack.
Opt for a low maintenance air purifier. Before investing in an air purifier, find out how often the filter needs to be changed and what the filter changing procedure is. Compare your lifestyle with the time involved to change the filter, and make sure the two are a good match before finalizing your decision.
Not only will a low maintenance cleaner save time, it will also save money. Having to change a filter every 3 to 6 months to maintain your warranty status can add up to constant costs that ultimately make it more expensive to keep your air filtered.
Look for a reputable manufacturer. A purifier that has a long-term guarantee from the manufacturer, and possibly a filter guarantee as well indicates a well constructed purifier that is built to last and will give you years of relief from pollen and other pollutants that trigger your hay fever.
A purifier that has a hefty warranty (5 years) is often an excellent indication that you won't need to use it.
Having a HEPA air purifier create a space that you can count on to be free of the airborne pollutants that trigger your hay fever will lower your anxiety, improve how you feel, and increase your quality of life.
And just knowing that your air is virtually pollen free will help you breathe easier both physically and emotionally.
