Got Pet Urine Odor?---5 Features To Avoid In An Air Purifier

If you love pets you know they come with odor.
And if there is a urine problem as well, you
need an air purifier that can stay ahead of the
smell. Avoiding cleaners with these 5 features
will help you choose a unit that will really
eliminate the odor for good.

No Carbon---Because it is so well known for its
ability to absorb gases, odors and chemicals, a
cleaner for odor that does not have carbon is
not going to work. 15 pounds of activated carbon
is best. Carbon made from coconut shells should
be your first choice.. The harder the carbon the
better the absorption rate is. Carbon from
coconut shells is particularly hard and as such
is more effective.

No Additive For Ammonia---As effective as carbon
is at absorbing gaseous pollutants, it will still
need help if it is to successfully absorb urine
odor day in and day out. Choose a filter that
has an additive that will enhance carbon's
ability to remove this ammonia- based odor.
Otherwise the smell will persist.

Single Filter---It is not possible for one
filter to eliminate all the pollutants that pets
can create. One filter is an indication that you
will need to change the filter frequently..
Instead look for a canister of filters that
contain both a carbon filter and filter designed
to remove particles. A large and medium particle
pre-filter will eliminate those airborne
particles that you can see. These filters will
also prolong the life of the smaller particle
filter which your unit should have---the HEPA.

HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting
filters are essential in a pet air purifier
because it is capable of removing the dander
(dead skin flakes), as well as the bacteria and
viruses that often attach to larger particles
and spread disease and infection.

One Speed---When life comes at you fast you need
a cleaner that can keep up. Life changes and your
air purifier should be able to change as well..
Choose a unit that gives you at least 3 fan
rates..

For days when not much is happening, the low
speed is usually adequate.. For days when there
are more smells or particles in the air, being
able to literally crank up the speed to medium
or high will help keep the air smelling fresh
and clean.

Plastic Case---Many plastic air purifiers tend
to off-gas fumes once the motor heats it up. Why
spend good money to add pollutants to your air?.
That's why steel cases are best. Steel won't
off-gas.. And there is also virtually no chance
that your pet can chew off a piece of the unit
and be injured or choke on it.
