Mold Warriors came Monday

[Guest guest]

Hello Group,

My books came yesterday but I have not had time to read now.

I am looking for an air cleaner and I paged through where Mold

Warriors talks about HEPA filter, I thought I saw that it said HEPA

is a MERV 14. My understanding was that HEPA is a MERV 18. Maybe I

read it wrong late last night.

I am looking for a quiet, but effective purifier for the bedroom.

The Blue air found here: http://allergybuyersclub.com/compare-

air.html does not have a HEPA rated filter, but claims to be an

overall HEPA class filter due to its combined effect with an ionizer

and high air exchange. It was the best filter rated by AHAM

(AHAM.ORG). I went to the web page and saw that you can compare

many manufacturer's specs

The Blue air is really quiet and there is a lot of air exchanges per

hour. Our cheap GE HEPA is way too noisy for the bedroom. The Blue

air also is suppose to dispurse the air well so you don't feel much

of a draft. Any comments?

BTW here is a link for a MERV 15 furnace filter. I am waiting to

see if one can be built for my Lennox pure air system(OF COURSE

LENNOX MADE AN ODD SIZE SO YOU HAVE TO BUY THEIR FILTER OR HAVE ONE

SPECIALLY MADE). It has four UV lights that shine on the filter and

they are seeing if it can take the UV light. This filter is made of

plastic, I bought a 16 X 20 X 2 inch one for my Santa Fe

dehumidifier and it fit tight and was very strong and well built. I

do not know of any other ordinary furnace filter rated that high or

made from plastic. Here is the link: http://www.filtera-

Many people who have asthma or other respiratory problems find they

have problem tolerating ionized air. I got rid of mine.

Did Lennox come with FOUR UV lights? That's pretty good or did you

add them???

I would avoid ionizers and just go for the best filter, smallest

particle and UV lights you already have.

Do you do mold plates tests on your home regularly, like every few

months and make sure mold count is 4 or below. It was recommended

in sinusitis site. Did you get that link? I think it is very good

site for mold allergy suffers even though it is primarily for

sinusitis sufferers. Mold hits your nose first so if you follow

those procedures, mold shouldn't be getting any further.

Here is that link:
