Air Purifiers And Dogs---5 Safe And Effective Features

2016/5/4 10:08:35

If you love your dog but the hair, dander, and odor not so much, putting the right air cleaner to work in your home is an effective solution. Here are 5 features that a safe and effective cleaner should have.

Steel Casing---Depending on the age of your dog, it often explores new objects by chewing on them. But as strong as its teeth may be, steel can stand up to them and avoid a possible choking hazard.

Since the cleaner needs to filter the air continuously it is likely that the motor will eventually heat up the outer case, not much, but some. When exposed to heat, many units made of plastic often off-gas noxious fumes. When the casing is made of steel, that possibility is virtually eliminated.

Safe By-Product---The whole purpose of filtering the air is to make the air cleaner and therefore healthier. Fresh air is the one by-product that everyone agrees is best; and it should be the only by-product your cleaner produces.

Stay away from units that produce any amount of ozone or ionized particles. These filtration methods are still controversial and there are questions both about their effectiveness and safety for humans and animals.

Split Capacitor Motor---This type of motor gives you a serious advantage with filtration. Designed to run at high revolutions per minute continuously, it is what will allow you to enjoy 24 hour filtration every day.

Cleaners without this motor often need to be turned off periodically, or the technical specifications will limit the number of hours that it is safe to operate it within a 24 hours period.

Having to stop filtration for any length of time allows pollutants to build to levels that are often unpleasant and unhealthy. Check the technical specifications to make sure that a split capacitor motor is contained in the unit you choose.

Particle Filters---Hair and dander have to be two of the biggest particle issues for dog lovers. Nothing is going to remove all of the hair and dander, but having a series of filters that can remove particles ranging from the very visible (hair) to the microscopic (dander) is a must.

Pre-filters are the inexpensive filters that allow a unit to trap the big particles in the air. And a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) filter is essential to eliminate particles that are as small as .3 microns or larger in size.

Having a variety of filters means that no one filter has to do it all. That means the cleaner will require fewer filter changes which means you spend less time and money on replacement filters.

Filter For Odor---Odor can sometimes be daunting with a dog. If you are training a puppy, have an older dog that is incontinent, or just a pooch that makes mistakes in the house sometimes, fresh air can seem like a thing of the past.

Carbon is the best type of filter for odor. And since the smell can range from a simple doggy smell to that of urine, it makes sense to have an additive mixed into the carbon to enhance its ability to remove urine odor.

Checking for these 5 features when considering an air purifier to help with doggy pollutants will help you bring home the safest and most effective cleaner. Then you will be able to enjoy your dog and a home that smells fresh and clean too.
