Parrot Home Air Filters---5 Best Features To Choose In A Cleaner

You love having parrots be a part of the family,
but you can do without the dust, feathers, and
sneezing provoking dander that they generate.
Cheer up. With an effective filter you can
drastically reduce the amount of bird-related
pollutants in the air. Here are 5 best features
to choose in a cleaner.

HEPA Filter---HEPA is an acronym made up of the
first letters of the phrase high efficiency
particle arresting. This is a designation give
to any filter that can remove 99,997 out of
every 10,000 airborne particles that are .3
microns or greater (with a micron being defined
as one millionth of a meter).

This type of technology is so efficient that
hospitals use it to insure clean air. It is also
safe because the only by product it produces is
fresh, clean air.

Since all parrots are not created equal when it
comes to the dust they produce, it is important
to have this type of filtration. Powder down
parrots such as African Greys, Cockatoos, and
Cockatiels produce a huge amount of white powder
in addition to the normal dander and feather that
all birds produce.

But whether you have one of the dustier species
or not, this type of filtration is essential
because it will also remove more normal
household pollutants such as dust, dust mites,
mold and mildew spores, seasonal pollen,
airborne bacteria and viruses as well as dander
from other pets.

Since birds are notorious for their tiny air
passages, anything you can do to clear the air
for them means that their respiratory system is
more likely to stay healthier longer. And this
can definitely help increase their quality and
quantity of life.

Carbon Cloth---This type of filter gives a
double advantage to you and your avian friends.
Originally developed by the British Military as
a response to chemical warfare, this filter can
remove noxious gases, airborne chemicals and
odors. This is particularly important for birds
because their systems are so vulnerable to
gaseous pollutants.

And because the make-up of this filter is woven
like a cloth, it also provides additional
elimination of particles from the air.

Large Particle Pre-Filter---This filter is
typically the first line of defense against the
big particles that you can see in the air. Those
floating bits that you can see when the sunlight
shines through your windows are what this filter
is designed to trap.

It is typically made up of a cotton-ball like
material and saves the more intricate and
expensive HEPA from filling needlessly with big
particles that can be trapped by this cheaper
filter.

Medium Particle Pre-Filter---This filter is
designed to trap slightly smaller particles that
are in between the visible and invisible. Again
the advantage to you and your bird is that this
saves you money by allowing HEPA to fill with
mostly microscopic particles.

Split Capacitor Motor---Your unit can have the
most efficient filters in all the world, but if
it can stay on the job 24 hours a day the
filters don't matter. A split capacitor is built
to run 24 hours a day with high revolutions per
minute and long life duty.

The benefit to you is that it can operate while
you are there or away, and the continual
filtration minimizes the amount of particulates
in the air. This helps keep the particle level
from rising to a level that is unhealthy for you
or your parrot.

Parrots are some of the most beautiful birds
there are. And knowing that you are giving it
with the gift of clean air every minute of their
lives helps you give back a little bit of the joy
owning a parrot can bring.
