Simply HEPA Smart Air units are simply a ‘fan’ and a ‘filter’, we use no additive technologies. There are a large number of air cleaners in schools / hospitals which container ionisers but not all manufacturers make this clear upfront.
Transport and unpackaging Both the Blast and Blast Mini are large, heavy items so please take care when unboxing. Both boxes should be delivered on its side. To remove, open the top flaps and flip the box to the right (see diagram).

Before cleaning, always switch off the machine and pull out the electrical cable! Pre-filter How frequently you clean the pre-filter depends on the environment. Due to high levels of pet dander, a vet may need to clean it every 2 weeks.
1. Always use protective gloves and respiratory protection when handling used filters to reduce the risk of ill health and sickness. For hospitals, please also read the HEPA Disposal Guidelines. 2. Switch off the Blast / Blast Mini by turning the dial to 0. Wait until the fan has stopped, remove the cable from the socket 3.
Smart Air UK and the environment We designed our Blast units with lead-free components and the outer casing in high-quality steel rather than plastic. Because these can be recycled, used models must always be sent to a recycling station for correct recycling and/or disposal of parts and components.
We upgraded our packaging to ensure it is 99% plastic-free, yet sturdy enough to withstand transportation. Reduce your carbon emissions with Smart Air Not all portable air cleaners are equal. Here's a comparison we did between the Blast and 2 other brands currently in NHS hospitals across the UK.
