Description

 Atmosphere advertising claims it is "better than HEPA" but there is no supporting evidence since it only meets the performance standards of an AHAM AC*1 air cleaner that eliminates up to *9.*9% of particles down to 0.*1 microns. Technically there is no commercial filtration system that is better than HEPA. The unit has also been awarded a U.S. Department of Energy Energy Star® rating.

Available in only one model, the Atmosphere unit cleans a room up to **0 square feet and offers a programmable timer with five settings that can be operated via a remote control. The panel includes a clean air indicator and a turbo button for a short term boost.

Contaminants claimed to be removed by the Atmosphere Air Purifier:

• 6 Allergens, including pet dander and latex
• *2 Bacteria spores, including staph
• *4 Fungal spores, including Aspergillus
• *5 viruses, including measles, mumps, smallpox and Hantaan viruses
• *8 pollens, including rag weed, cedar, grass and nettle.

• Pre-filter - This glass-filled polypropylene filter can be cleaned every 2 to *2 months depending on usage with a vacuum or by rinsing with water.
• Carbon filter - To reduces odor and traps bacteria and fungal spores, this carbon filter contains *9,**0 grams of activated carbon and lasts between 4 to *2 months, depending on usage.
• HEPA filter - Traps *9.*9% of airborne particles as small as 0.*1 microns and needs to be replaced every 3 to *0 months, dependant not only upon usage but also the particles sensor readings.

The air filtering volume varies depending on the setting:

• Whisper setting - *0 cubic feet per minute at 4 W
• Low setting - **0 cubic feet per minute at 9 W
• Medium setting ***0 cubic feet per minute at *8 W
• High setting - **0 cubic feet per minute at *4 W
• Turbo setting - **0 cubic feet per minute at *9 W

The Pureflow design reduces fan noise since it only operates when needed, a feature that is responsible for the unit\'s EnergyStar rating. The turbo power function allows you to clean up to **0 square feet within *0 minutes.
