Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have 3 Austin Healthmates & 1 IQ. From: Tug <tug_slug@...> Subject: [] Air Purifiers Part Duex Date: Friday, January 28, 2011, 2:32 PM Well it appears I had allot of replies concerning air purifiers and I cant thank you enough. My next question is for those that have an air purifier how much of a difference did it make in the way you felt and how long did it take before you noticed a difference?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have two Austin Airs..love them except for having to turn them upside down and remove screws to change outer air filter. I can't say I feel different bec I made so many changes at once but I can smell a difference in the air. Also I don't have a 'respiratory illness' but a systemic one. It know people w respiratory illnesses that have an immediate effect from an air purifier, a good one anyway. > > Well it appears I had allot of replies concerning air purifiers and I cant thank you enough.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I bumped a key and the msg took off before I was done........  As I was saying, I have 3 Austin Helathmates and 1 IQ. When I get symptoms from pollution and other things I get a bad headache, my eyes, throat etc. burn. I have noticed that when I close myself up in my house with an air cleaner running the symptoms start disappearing within a few hours. Yesterday I did my 2010 taxes, got very ill from the ink on the forms and tax booklets and was still so ill when I went to bed, headache very bad and I felt like I was going to throw up. This was a job for 'superman', so I used the IQ in my bedroom all night. During the night I noticed my symptoms were gone and I felt well this AM.  ....Corky  .... I had allot of replies concerning air purifiers ......... My next question is for those that have an air purifier how much of a difference did it make in the way you felt and how long did it take before you noticed a difference?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi Tug- What exactly are you looking for in an air cleaner? I assume some form of airborn erridication/ but can you be more detailed on what your goal is? Do you currently have a specific problem with your living environment?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Kathy right now Im dealing with chemicals more so than mold. Im currently using a box fan with a 3M air filter taped to it which seems to be working quite well. > > Hi Tug- > > What exactly are you looking for in an air cleaner?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 How often are you needing to change the filter Dave? > > Kathy right now Im dealing with chemicals more so than mold.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Barb I just started using it 3 or 4 days ago so I havent changed it yet. How long do you think I should wait before I buy a new one? > > How often are you needing to change the filter Dave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Tug- Wow, that is so sharp of you to have customized your own box fan. Maybe 3M will hear about it and thus, a new product is born. But just make sure to get the rights on the patent...lol.. Honestly, I am always so impressed by how creative we can be when necessary. Ok so I assume you're talking about one of the 3M Filtretes and if so, do you also have some type of carbon filter attached to capture the voc's? Exactly where are the voc's located in your home...are they isolated to a specific area or object? Or did you do some type of construction project so they are now floating around all over the place? Where do you currently have the fan blowing..toward you, away from you..? What room is the fan located? There are options available but it depends upon what the person is trying to do. So more info would be helpful. Kathy ------------------------- > Kathy right now Im dealing with chemicals more so than mold.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Kathy, this isnt my idea I was told to do this by a very near dear friend who is also hypersensitive to mold. > > Hi Tug- > > Wow, that is so sharp of you to have customized your own box fan.
