Honeywell Hepa Filter

Honeywell has been providing temperature control, comfort, and energy conservation equipment since it was founded by Mark Honeywell in 1904. Since its founding Honeywell has been dedicated to innovative and excellent products and services. Today the best known Honeywell product is the air purifier, which uses the Honeywell HEPA filter.

The HEPA filter was developed by the United States Department of Defense during World War II, to provide service members with protection from the dangers of radioactive fallout. Laws have since been instituted that require the use of HEPA Air filters in the removal of asbestos, lead, toxic chemicals, and toxic mold.

The Environmental Protection Agency reports that the air inside a house is two to five times more polluted than outside air. This is due to the energy conservation techniques used in construction. The Honeywell HEPA filter has the ability to filter out 99.97% of airborne particles as small as .3 microns. Which means that it can filter out dust, mold spores, mites, bacteria, pet dander, and other allergens.

Here are some of the health benefits of the HEPA filter:

Persons who suffer form asthma, allergies and other respiratory ailments find that using a HEPA filtered air purifier helps to relieve congestion and stuffiness. It effectively removes harmful pollutants while also keeping the air circulating.

Many people who suffer form sleep apnea have also found that the air purifier helps with their snoring. This is again due to the removal of harmful particles that create the congestion. People who do not suffer from respiratory ailments or allergies still benefit from the clean air. The pollution in the air in a home adds up to inhaling over two tablespoons of airborne particles each day. Clearing the air of pollutants makes it easier to breath for everyone, and helps to protect against the symptoms and health issues caused by harmful air pollutants.

The Honeywell HEPA filter is cost effective too, since many of the Honeywell air purifiers are equipped with lifetime filters. These filters do not require replacement. You need only vacuum out the filter a couple times a year.
