Airpura R600 Air Purifier

Are you looking for an air purifier that can help relieve your allergy, asthma, and/or MCS symptoms with ease – and do it with as little impact to the environment as possible? Now, you can look no further than the Airpura R600 Air Purifier. Manufactured by Canada-based Airpura Industries, the Airpura R600 is a marvel of green design, strategically developed to filter out harmful impurities from your air while leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible. This unit not only protects you by purifying the air you breathe; it protects our planet, too.

Four Stages of Filtration

The R600 all-purpose air cleaner is the perfect air-purifying solution for anyone who suffers from allergies, asthma, or multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS). Using powerful multi-stage filtration, this Airpura air purifier treats spaces as large as 2,000 sq. ft. It will remove:

• Particles – Including pet dander, dust, dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and asbestos.
• Airborne Chemicals – Including formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, radon, glues, pesticides, methylene chloride, mold mycotoxins, and perchloroethylene.
• Smoke – Including tobacco smoke and smoke odors.

To ensure top-notch cleanliness, air that flows into the R600 passes through four different filtration stages before it is released as clean, purified air. These stages include:

• Pre-Filtration – The unit's 570-sq.-in. pre-filter removes large particles and helps to extend the life of the HEPA and carbon filters. This filter should be changed every 12 months.
• Carbon Filtration – The unit uses 18 lbs. of activated carbon to collect and absorb a variety of chemical pollutants, odors, and tobacco smoke from the air. This filter typically lasts up to 2 years, depending on usage.
• Micro-Suppress Filtration – These two filters, located on each side of the carbon bed, help to kill viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms that may collect on them.
• HEPA Filtration
  • The R600 is also equipped with 40 sq. ft. of True HEPA filter material. This filter removes up to 99.97% of airborne particles that are as small as 0.3 microns in diameter. It lasts approximately 5 years under regular use.
  • The R614 is also equipped with 40 sq. ft. of Super HEPA filter material. This filter removes up to 99.99% of airborne particles that are as small as 0.3 microns in diameter. It lasts approximately 5 years under regular use.

A Greener Design

The Airpura R600 air cleaner was created with eco-awareness in mind. The unit includes a host of environmentally friendly construction features that make it less impactful to the earth than off-the-shelf units of lesser quality. Some of these features include:

• Lightweight, Motorized Impeller – This backward-curved, 560-CFM impeller weighs less than half of the typical motor, shaft, or blower wheel configurations used in conventional air purifiers. Moreover, it delivers greater airflow at the exact same power consumption.
• PCB-Free Capacitors – All capacitors used in the R600 are free of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. These substances are known to be toxic to humans, animals, and the environment.
• Zero Off-Gassing – This unit is free of any plastic, rubber, silicone, adhesives, or bonding agents (other than a small number of materials required to meet UL, ETL, CE, and CSA safety guidelines). The absence of these materials helps to reduce any off-gassing of chemical vapors, both within the clean air stream and in the unit's end-of-life phase.
• All-Metal Housing – With 100% metal housing, the R600 air cleaner is a more ecologically sound product, and it's 93% recyclable. In addition, the metal housing prevents plastic off-gassing, which is common with many conventional units.
• Vacuum-able Pre-Filters – To lengthen lifespan, improve the unit's energy efficiency, and reduce waste, all Airpura pre-filters can be easily vacuumed clean from the exterior of the unit.

The R600's off-gassing prevention measures are particularly beneficial if you suffer from MCS. Along with all-metal housing and a sealed fan motor, this unit has felt gaskets and a contained electrical parts chamber. Felt gaskets help to seal the unit's filter chamber and maximize air filtration while producing none of the rubber off-gassing that is so common with other filters. By maintaining a separate electrical parts chamber, the unit also prevents any off-gassing that may stem from capacitors, condensers, or switches.

Additional Features

Other top features of the R600 air purifier include:

• Variable Speed Motor – Choose from two filtration levels.
• Quiet Purification – The unit's backward-curved impeller helps eliminate vibrations and noise associated with conventional air purifier motors.
• Zero Air Leakage – The unit's unique pressure seal on the filter chamber ensures that all of the contaminated air passes through the filters. This helps to maintain a True HEPA filtration rating.
• Perforated Steel Exterior – This type of exterior allows for 360-degree air intake and re-distribution. It also creates a softer appearance.
• Individual Replacement Filters - The HEPA and carbon filters can be changed separately to help you save on operating costs. You'll only change the filters that need to be changed.
