Every day someone calls and asks about allergy filters. What is an allergy filter you ask. Well I guess it depends on what your allergic to.

There is not one filter just of allergies. There are air filters to take care of airborne allergens such as pollen, dust, mold, bacteria, animal dander, etc. There are water filters designed to remove heavy metals, chlorine, pesticides and other contaminates. Both take care of specific problems related to specific allergies.

More and more people are becoming aware of the problems associated with breathing dirty air. Because of this awareness the product offering of allergy filters for "airborne allergies" has exploded. We have HEPA, ULPA, UVC, Ozone, Ionizers, Photocatalysis and Radiant just to mention a few.  New ones are introduced boasting of this or that "new" technology.  They are designed specifically for the house, office, car, boat, plane and pet. You name it, someone has come out with an air filter for it.

Deciding which filter you need depends on what your trying to filter out. Read " How to Evaluate Allergy Filters" it gives you a good idea of how the different type of "allergy filters" do. I personally have a good filter in my  AC, HEPA air cleaner in the bedroom and a UV system in the airhandler.

Wishing you the best of health
