Is your Stand-Alone air purifier slowly becoming a curse?

Like food and water, we need air to survive. We are well aware of the problem of poor air quality and indoor air pollution. In these environmental conditions at some point in time, you may have thought of investing in a stand-alone air purifier, or you already have one. But here is the lesser-known fact, your Stand-Alone air purifier is not as ideal as you think it is!. 

This post is breaking down the facts that whether or not a stand-alone air purifier is really for you to invest in.

5 things you probably didn’t know about Stand-Alone Air purifiers


  1. A secondary source of Infections: The Stand-alone air purifiers have a HEPA filter installed which captures the harmful airborne particles. It only filters the particles but does not destroy/inactivate them. Over a period of time, these harmful pathogens create colonies on the filter, which makes it a secondary source of spreading more infections. 

It is the same as using a rug to wipe dirty shoes, while the dirty rug remains in the house itself!


  1. Requires a lot of upkeep. : Stand-alone filters don’t last forever, as the contaminants remain in the filter they continue to affect the quality of your air. You will have to replace them regularly to keep your unit in good shape. 



  1. High recurring cost: The filters are supposed to be changed regularly and if you live in a heavily polluted area you will need to replace them even more often. The high replacement costs of filters are very high. Stand-alone air purifiers create a burden on the pocket due to this recurring cost.



  1. High power consumption: With contaminated filters, stand-alone air purifiers consume high power. This creates additional energy costs as it restricts the airflow through the unit. 


  1. Small Coverage area:  If you are seeking to purify large indoor spaces, Unfortunately, you have to ditch the idea of using a stand-alone purifier. These air purifiers can only cover small indoor spaces.  Using multiple stand-alone purifiers in large areas will only increase the cost and inconvenience. Also, they will be an eyesore!


All in all, in longrun stand alone airpurifiers does not prove themselves to be an optimal choice that is why people are switching to central air purification to minimize interior pollutants. 

Central Air purification Systems: Why is it preferred over stand-alone air purifiers?

Your HVAC system isn't doing the job of keeping your indoor air clean, but a Central air purifier system can work wonders for it, here is how:

  • A central air purifier can be in concert with your current unit for a better, more efficient overall performance as compared to a stand-alone air purifier.

  • Central air purification systems come in handy in terms of maintenance. 

  • They are quiet  whereas stand alone purifiers are noisy due to the fan inside.

  • They save space as they get integrated inside the central air conditioner.

  • Central air purification systems work 24/7 with the AC on, which can help turn your indoors from a host of hidden dangers into a place where you can breathe deeply.


For instance, Magneto's central air purification system gives you the best of all worlds with Magneto Central Air Cleaner. A Magnetic-Filterless technology that works on the principle of “Trap and Kill” to capture and destroy harmful air pathogens and completely sanitize the indoor air.

Magneto’s Central air purification system: a one-time investment with lifelong benefits.



Unlike stand-alone air purifiers, Magneto’s Cleantech does not follow the traditional approach. Magneto Central Air Cleaner’s  “Trap and Kill” process catches and eliminates 2.5 PM particles, bacteria, fungi, germs, mold, toxic gases, pollutants, and VOCs that create indoor air pollution.

Magneto Central Air Cleaner (MCAC), is a certified (UL, CSA, CE, AHAM, ASHRAE 52.2, ISO 16890)  clean air technology that can be integrated and retrofitted with existing air conditioning systems. 

Here’s a handy rundown of how Magneto central air cleaner stands above a stand-alone air purifier.

 

In the wake of COVID-19, Magneto CleanTech has stepped up and advanced its technology. Magneto Central Air Cleaner is now Co-powered with Ultraviolet technology (UVGI), which eliminates the risk of airborne transmission of  viruses, cancer-causing toxic gases, and airborne pathogens and kills them ensuring complete indoor air sanitization.

Is UV Light a New Normal For Domestic Architecture?

Image
  Solar energy has existed as long as the sun for over 5 billion years, and it has been an essential element for the survival of various inhabitants, including animals, birds, and even microorganisms. From converting sunlight into heat for keeping themselves warm in winters to igniting a fire for cooking, people have been using solar energy for thousands of years in a variety of ways for domestic purposes. Apart from that, Solar radiation is the main source of Ultraviolet rays, is also a known solution for killing the vast majority of harmful microorganisms. The application of ultraviolet light for sanitation purposes has been recognized for over a hundred years. The Germicidal properties of UV rays were first discovered in 1877. Later in 1903, Niels Ryberg Finsen received a Nobel Prize for his use of Ultraviolet light to combat tuberculosis. Making its way upwards in the 1930s, the first UV light tubular lamp was discovered, contributing to the discovery of truly significant resea...

Office Air Purifiers: Inactivating Coronavirus Through Your HVAC Systems

Image
  The Coronavirus pandemic kept the offices sealed for a very long time. However, as the number of people returning to the workplace is increasing, the risk of coronavirus transmission is also increasing. The good news is that office air purifiers with UV light can help in the safe re-opening of offices. You've just arrived at the office after a long time working from home and you're unsure of how safe it is for you to be at a public space yet. You check the news and the delta variant & COVID-19 third wave are all over. You think about the hundreds of people who have been exposed to the virus and how they're all going to come to work and spread it. You fear that you will catch it too, questioning if it was the right decision to be here, not just for your own safety but that of your entire family. “Return to the workplace” and the threat of 3rd wave of coronavirus Every individual who is resuming work from the office must be going through this fear and concerned about th...

As ASHRAE updates its recommendations on airborne Coronavirus, Magneto is ready to protect your loved ones!

Image
Magneto Cleantech is ready with its patented technology Magneto Central Air Cleaner co-powered with UV-C to meet ASHRAE & CDC guidelines for airborne infection control. Spreading like a common cold, the Coronavirus spread has struck India hard, making it the second country after the United States that reported 1 lakh cases in one day. The devastating wave 2.0 across India has been largely attributed to the airborne transmission of the virus. Previously, handwashing and maintaining social distancing were the main measures that WHO recommended avoiding contracting COVID-19, but unfortunately these measures do not prevent infection by inhalation of small droplets or aerosolized particles exhaled by an infected person, traveling tens of meters in the air carrying the viral content. ASHRAE has been developing and disseminating guidance for control of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 since April 2020 and has stated that Coronavirus is “likely” to spread through the air in your HVA...
