IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier

IQAir’s 40 year tradition of building the world’s best air cleaners has allowed IQAir to develop the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier. Since the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier was launched, it has received more #1 product reviews than any other air purifier on the market. Professional reviewers consider many criteria in making their decision as to what really constitutes the “best” air purifier. The one thing that none of the reviewers have failed to notice, though, is that they have never before evaluated an air purifier that has the air cleaning power of the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier.

The HealthPro has received Consumers Digest’s prestigious BEST BUY award. Consumers Digest found the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier to be “ideal for allergy sufferers” and praised its ability to clean the air in large spaces.

The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier has been awarded Reviewboard Magazine’s EDITOR’S CHOICE AWARD “BEST OF THE BEST” for two consecutive years (2004 and 2005). The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier is the first product ever to receive this award twice.

Stiftung Warentest’s “TEST” magazine is sponsored by the German government and is considered the toughest product review publication in the world. “TEST” awarded the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier the highest rating for particle filtration ever and judged it the overall winner in its comprehensive air cleaner test.

When the Discovery Health TV series set out to examine the world of air cleaning, they found the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier to be the only air purifier to produce a “0” (zero) reading on a particle scan test. Their sensitive testing equipment could find no particles escaping the unit’s powerful HyperHEPA filtration.

Consumer Search reviews the reviewers and says the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier “is the best option for people with severe allergies.” After looking at the many product reviews in the air cleaner category, Consumer Search says that IQAir is clearly #1.

The IQAir HealthPro is 100% ozone-free. It is certified by the IAACM (International Association of Air Cleaner Manufacturers) to produce absolutely no ozone. Ozone is a lung irritant that is emitted from ionic air cleaners. Even small amounts of ozone are undesirable for allergy and asthma sufferers.

IQAir is proud to have been selected by the American Lung Association as their exclusive partner for indoor air quality (IAQ).

Not all air purifiers produce the same air cleaning results. The ability to filter and retain microscopic particles varies widely among ordinary air cleaners, including true High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) cleaners. In contrast, the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier is so efficient at removing these tiny particles that even sophisticated measuring equipment, using laser technology, will find virtually no particles escaping IQAir’s patented HyperHEPA filtration.

The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier comes with a number of advanced features that enhance your air purifier’s performance – and it’s easy to use them. The control panel allows you to program your system speeds and times of day that you want your air purifier to run. The filter life monitors tell you when it is time to change a filter or how much life your filters have left.

The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier comes with a convenient, easy to use remote control that allows you to control the air speed and the timer.

The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier uses this amazing filtration technology:

1. Micro-particle filtration
Eliminates micro-particles such as pollen, pet dander and mold spores.

2. Space for V-5 Cell
This module allows you to add the advanced gas and odor filter (V-5 Cell) featured in the HealthPro Plus whenever you want.

3. HyperHEPA filtration
Eliminates bacteria, viruses and combustion particles from automobiles and smoke, through a nano-fiber structure.

Conventional air cleaners often combine several filter types into one filter cartridge. As a result, the whole cartridge has to be replaced even if only one filter type is used up. The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier has a modular design, which allows each filter type to be replaced individually, saving you money in the process.

The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier isn’t just a better air cleaner. It introduces a whole new level of air cleaning that has never previously been available for home use. Based on technology that IQAir developed for hospitals and multi-million dollar clean rooms, IQAir created its patented HyperHEPA technology. Ordinary HEPA is advertised to filter particles only down to 0.3 microns in size, but 90% of all ultrafine particles are below 0.3 microns. This means that an ordinary HEPA filter is missing 90% of all the particles passing through it. Science tells us that it is the particles smaller than 0.3 microns that are the most dangerous and can do us the most harm. Add to this the leakage and poor manufacturing quality of most residential air cleaners and you have a machine that will truthfully do very little to clean your air. IQAir’s HyperHEPA is the most advanced filtration technology that has ever been made available for home use.

IQAir’s HyperHEPA filtration is tested and certified to filter down to 0.003 (0.000000118 of an inch) microns in size with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of over 99.5%. This is 100 times smaller than what can be achieved by ordinary HEPA technology. (This is literally smaller than the smallest virus or bacteria.) There are no particles smaller than 0.003 microns, as anything smaller becomes a gas. This means that IQAir’s patented HyperHEPA can remove all particle sizes, down to the very smallest particles that can be measured, and it does so at an efficiency rating that has never before been achieved in a home air cleaner. The HealthPro is the world’s first room air cleaner with filters certified under the most stringent filter standard EN (European Norm) 1822. IQAir’s HyperHEPA filter has received the official H12/H13 certification. This gives you the cleanest, freshest air that has ever been possible in your home.

The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier features the most efficient pre-filter of any house-hold air cleaner - the IQAir PreMax. The PreMax removes over 90% of the particle weight from the air going through the air cleaner, allowing the IQAir HyperHEPA filter to last up to five times longer than similar filters in ordinary air cleaners. IQAir filters are easy to change and snap in and out in seconds.

Efficiency statements of many air cleaners look impressive at first glance. Air cleaners with HEPA filters often advertise efficiencies of 99.97% for particles of 0.3 microns (that’s about 240 times smaller than the width of a human hair) and larger. That sounds very impressive, but these claims are based on the theoretical efficiency of the HEPA filter material used and not on the actual clean air produced by the air cleaner. System leakage and inferior construction can greatly reduce the system efficiency, and independent testing indicates that many popularly selling air cleaners don’t even meet 10% of their label claims. This is particularly true of many air purifiers that rely on ionizing, electrostatic, and ozone technology. Some consumer testing magazines have reported that these technologies appear to do almost nothing to truly clean the air, but they continue to be heavily advertised and marketed to consumers. Advance testing with a particle scanner allows scientists to examine the ultrafine particles in ambient air and the actual filtration efficiency of the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier. Some air cleaners that claim to be cleaning the air actually have millions of ultrafine particles escaping their filters. The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier is the first air purifier ever to achieve a “0” (zero) reading on a particle scanner test. This means that advanced testing equipment can find no particles escaping our advanced HyperHEPA system.

The unique design of the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier helps to prevent shortcutting, which reduces the effectiveness of most air cleaners. Shortcutting occurs when the air outlet and air intake of an air cleaner are positioned too close to one another. This allows the newly filtered air from the air cleaner to be immediately re-filtered, wasting precious air cleaning capacity that should be used to filter polluted room air. With its air intake and air outlet at opposite ends, the HealthPro virtually eliminates shortcutting.

IQAir makes the only individually tested and certified air cleaners available for home use. This is a requirement IQAir has for hospitals, and IQAir provides this same level of testing and assurance to all of their customers. After all, your home, like a hospital, is a very important health environment. Each IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier is individually tested and certified before it leaves IQAir's factory in Switzerland. Your IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier arrives to you with a hand-signed certificate of performance so that you will know the exact efficiency of your air cleaner.

The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier has more #1 product reviews than any other air purifier. The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier's HyperHEPA filtration is #1 for filtration efficiency. IQAir systems offer proven advantages other air purifiers simply don’t have.

With ordinary air cleaners you have to either guess when to replace filters or follow a rigid replacement schedule, such as "replace filters every six months." IQAir's intelligent filter life monitor calculates the life of each filter based on actual usage.

The filter replacements are inexpensive and filters rarely require changing. A HyperHEPA filter will last between two to five years with normal use. The Optional (Not Included) V-5 cell generally last about two years. Most people need to change their pre-filters every six to eighteen months.

The HealthPro produces more clean air with less noise. Unlike most air cleaners, which have the fan motor located after all filter stages, the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier has the fan in the center, between its noise absorbing filters. A unique double-walled housing design and eight vibration-absorbing rubber pads make the IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier even more quiet. The IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier is suitable for even the most noise-sensitive environments and virtually inaudible on the low fan-speed setting.

IQAir makes the #1 air purifiers used in hospitals worldwide. Many people consider hospitals the most critical health environment – a place where clean air literally means the difference between life and death. Doctors and other caregivers need to be protected from cross contamination of infectious disease while they care for patients. Patients need to be protected from viruses, bacteria, and other microscopic airborne pollutants that can hinder their recovery. Patients with severe allergies and asthma need relief from their respiratory symptoms. Patients with lung infections need an environment that is free of airborne
contaminants. IQAir is very proud of its history of providing hospitals with the very best in air filtration systems. Now you can have this same medical-grade air purification in your home.

When the dreaded disease SARS began to spread, doctors quickly determined that this highly contagious disease was spreading through the air. There was no cure or treatment, and scientists determined that the only way to combat SARS was to stop the spread of the disease. The Hong Kong Hospital Authority tested many of our competitors' air cleaners. They determined that IQAir made the only room air cleaner suitable to be used in the fight against SARS.

The HealthPro is built on a family tradition in air cleaning that goes back more than 40 years. In 1963, brothers Klaus and Manfred Hammes introduced the world's first residential air cleaner. They were not trying to launch a new segment of the health industry at the time. They were simply trying to help people who had coal burning stoves remove dust and soot from the air. Soon they discovered that people who had their air cleaners were experiencing better health. Manfred, a life-long allergy and asthma sufferer, was the first person to benefit from his own machine.

Today, the air cleaning legacy continues in the second generation of the Hammes family. Frank Hammes, President of IQAir, is responsible for revolutionizing the world of high-performance room air cleaners. His brother, Jens Hammes, works with doctors and scientists around the world to develop new uses for air cleaning technology. Klaus Hammes, IQAir’s founder, can still be found on the production line each day inspecting air cleaners. Engineered and built at the family factory in Switzerland, each IQAir air purifier is an example of Swiss precision-engineering, superior craftsmanship, and continuous research and development. The Swiss IQAir production facility only uses the finest components, and great attention to detail is given to each IQAir system built (much like a fine Swiss watch). Our Swiss quality assurance provides you with the very best air cleaner you will ever own.
