DIY Air Purifiers – A Great Way to Remanufacture Your Air

DIY Air Purifiers

Many people believe that the best air cleaners available are in fact DIY air cleaners. However, many people do not understand the benefits of an air cleaner, or why they would need an air cleaner instead of a DIY model. It turns out, however, that a fairly simple homemade air cleaner that you can construct yourself is just as efficient at filtering indoor air just as the similar air-purifying alternative, a carbon-monooxide sensor. Two days after, Thomas Talhelm, owner of Smart Air, was in the same boat as I was, having just made his own DIY air cleaner. He explains his experience on his website.

“When I first built my own DIY air purifier, I had no idea where to begin. I decided to try to build a HEPA filter like those that I seen on airplanes. I found it online and downloaded the instructions. After a few hours of reading and a few failed attempts to assemble the filter, I gave up and decided to buy a pre-made one instead. It arrived just before a large snowstorm hit my area and I was glad that I took precautions ahead of time.”

There are many different types of purifiers with varying capacities based upon the size and shape of the filter. However, the most effective purifiers are carbon-based. Other filters use polymer-based filters. Since the particles are too small to be filtered by a typical particle filter, they must be removed through a fan of air.
