HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
Dirty, dust laden air is drawn through the back of the air
purifier and through the multi-stage filtration system.
The permanent HEPA filter entraps 99% of all smaller
visible and non-visible particles down to 2 microns in size.
IONISER
Your Bionaire ® Air Purifier has an independently controlled
ioniser, which when turned on, releases negative ions into
the outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry
either a positive or negative charge. These ions exist
naturally all around us in the air, water and ground. Both
positive and negative ions are colourless, odourless and
completely harmless.
Negative ions help the air purification process by attaching
themselves to very small airborne particles in the room.
These particles take on a negative charge and may join
with positively charged particles, such as dust, pollen,
smoke and pet dander to form larger particles that are then
more readily captured by the filter system, or they may be
attracted to positively charged surfaces like walls or floors.
You may also note, after extended use, that dust may have
collected around the grills or front panel.
This is from the ionisation effect caused by the negative
ions exiting from the air outlet.This dust does not come
from the air output, but is drawn out of the uncleaned air
going past the air outlet.
This is additional evidence of the air cleaning effectiveness
of negative ions. The dust can be easily removed with a
clean, dampened cloth or soft brush.
