Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I just looked at the Austin Air purifiers and the Jr. looks perfect for a bedroom. The filter looks like it costs over $100. How often do you have to change the filter? Thanks, Sue I love the way my air purifier makes my home smell, but it surprises me that it has a smell. I have an Austin with charcoal and zeolite and it makes my home smell sweet. It must be the charcoal since I bought an " I can breath activated charcoal mask " and has the same sweet smell too and the only thing they both have is activated charcoal. I googled 'charcoal and sweet' and came up with carbon tetrachloride' is sweet but not activated charcoal. Does anyone notice a sweet smell from activated charcoal? I thought it would be odorless. It either smells sweet to everyone or perhaps I am developing some sort of heightened sense of smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 That's great news to hear!!! I was worried that you might say they needed to be changed every 3 months or so!!! I think I'll look into the Jr. size. Thanks for the info. Sue ***********Every 5 years if you don't abuse it with fresh paint or over abundance of toxins..

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I bought new filter when I moved air cleaner from my moldy home to my new apartment. It has a metal case that is enameled so I think it can be cleaned better than one with plastic housing. Many here have discussed that plastic *might be harder to clean of toxins than metal. There is a prefilter which is similar to common furnace filter that runs around 16.00 and helps to keep hepa filters clean of larger particles and can be vacuumed or changed. > > > I just looked at the Austin Air purifiers and the Jr. looks perfect for a > bedroom.
