With electrostatic air purifiers, extremely small particulates (.01 - 1 micron) can be filtered out. The smallest particulates a Hepa filter can filter out is .3 microns. This means that for every 10,000 particles which pass through a filter, the electrostatic filter lets 1 (or less) escape and the Hepa filter may let 3 escape. We compare electrostatic purification with Hepa filtration because Hepa filters are considered to be the second best form of filtration. Hepa filtration is used primarily to remove dust, pollen, mold spores. In addition, electrostatic filtration goes a step further by removing bacteria, viruses, cigarette smoke, and chemical fumes.

There is a simple method to counteract all of the harmful particles that are in the air of your home. Simply by using an air purifier you can reduce your risk to respiratory problems as well as remove the majority of the harmful particles from your air. The most popular choice for removing the particles is the electrostatic air purifier. Electrostatic air purifiers tend to be one of the most popular choices largely due to their quiet operation, which means your house stays quiet, and still has clean, fresh air

Hepa and electrostatic air purification are both effective. Hepa has one distinct advantage in that it doesn't produce ozone. Too much ozone is not good to breath and some electrostatic air purifiers have been know to produce excess ozone. All things considered, a hybrid electrostatic (Hepa and electrostatic combined) is a prefered air purification method.

Unlike other air purifying systems, the electrostatic air purifier does not rely on a standard filtration system. Rather than using filters, an electrostatic air purifier utilizes steel rods which act as collection points for the pollutants. These steel rods are very effective in capturing minute pollutants such as pet dander, pollen from flora and other common irritants. These rods can be removed and cleaned when maintenance is required.

Natural smelling air is a much-desired trait Some air purifiers leave the air with a strange smell; an electrostatic air purifier, however, leaves the air smelling clean and pure with no strange scents. An electrostatic air purifier accomplishes this by removing the particles and pollutants from the air, and trapping them into the steel rods that filter the air.
