Air light up the sky

I do not own any of the animation or music in this video. It is a purely fan made video and has nothing to do with the companies that make the show what so ever. And the animation is from the show Air and the song is light up the sky again this is purely fanmade.

Are there Air Purifiers with reusable filters?
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
I have owned the honeywell brand air filter and it was decent at cleaning the dust out of the air. Has anyone used an air purifier with reusable, cleanable/washable filters? If so which one(s)? I am looking for an air purifier that effectively removes/reduces the spring time pollen and dust from the air in my living space.
The only other way I have found is Obsessive Compulsive dusting and vacuum rituals by the hour. My kitty really hates the twice daily vacuum routine.
I am not aware of any ‘reusable’ filters that are effective for removing pollen. Most of the better air filters have a course, reusable pre-filter to extend the life of the real filter. The best filters usually have 3 or 4 stages of filtration, each one progressively finer so the HEPA core filter only has to be replaced once a year of less.
Generally, you don’t want to keep reusing a filter because the pores clog with allergens. In order to effectively capture the allergens, the pores have to be small enough and ‘washing’ a filter alters who the fibers lay down. As a result, their efficiency changes with each wash/dry cycle.
I’ve tried a lot of vacuums, and to be honest the best performing one I found was a little 7.2 amp Hoover with ‘allergen filtration’ bags. You pull so much dirt up over the course of a month, that HEPA filters clog quickly and reduce air flow through the vacuum. When my vacuum no longer feels like it is lifting up the carpet, then I replace the bag (usually about 75% full). One thing I have learned, the price has nothing to do with actual performance. I have settled on Hoover because I found that they really suck.

Remember, many of the cleaners used in the home are irritants. So by cleaning so much trying to help your allergies, you can unintentionally make them worse.

What’s the best air purifier for a house?
Saturday, May 15th, 2010
I’m looking for a purifier to clean a 2 story 3000sqft house, looking to clean wood smoke, pet dander, POLLEN, carpet dust. Preferably a HEPA purifier. Lowest price possible for a quality purifier, no more than 700$Cdn if possible.
Believe me, I realize that. As I said, I’m looking for a HEPA purifier, one with a filter rather than a flash-in-the-pan. I’ll look a the site you suggested, and I also found airpura.com.
I’m sorry i’m not able to answer the question as a whole, but as a chemistry major, purifiers that claim to ionize the air do little more then waist electricity. Sure they charge some particles but it doesn’t really help alot…
Try Riccar.com I know they have a few high quality filters
