How It Works

The Austin Air Healthmate Junior air purifier uses a three-stage filtration process to help capture particles, odors, chemicals and smoke. Air first passes through a pre-filter designed to capture large particles. This pre-filter should be cleaned once a month, depending on use and environment. After the bigger particles are removed, the air passes through six and a half pounds of a carbon-zeolite mix to remove odors and chemicals. The true HEPA medical filter is the last layer, trapping 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns and 95% of all particles larger than 0.1 microns.

Who Needs It

This is a great solution for those looking to remove light odors, chemicals and smoke or for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The Austin Air Healthmate Junior is designed for smaller spaces up to 750 square feet. With the 6.5 pounds of carbon, it removes odors and chemicals such as Radon, Benzene and Formaldehyde (found in glues and sealants). The carbon can also remove smoke from cigarettes, cigars and wood burning stoves. This unit is recommend for suffers of MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). If you are concerned about heavy chemicals or smoke, the Austin Air Healthmate Plus or Austin Air Healthmate Plus Junior may better address your concerns.
