Is this the only purifier with this technology? It sounds like the UV germ killing filters. What size particles does it eliminate?

Airocide is the only product using this technology. The technology was developed by NASA and is FDA approved. Airocide is not a UV Germ killing filter, in fact, Airocide is not a filter at all. Airocide doesn't trap particles it eliminates them. It gets its power from tiny catalysts inside the reaction chamber that oxidize organic particles on contact no matter the size. From the smallest virus to the largest dust particle, anything that is organic that enters the reaction chamber is eliminated. It also comes with a 60 day money back guarantee so if your not satisfied for any reason simply return it for a full refund. Thank you for your inquiry.

I tried vacuuming the filter, dust particles were still stuck to either side of the filter. I also tried to air blow it but if you take a hand lense you'll see a whole stack of layers captured dust clung to the filter. To get pure germ- free air, healthy air , dust-free air from this fan, you need to change the filter every 45 to 90 days depending on frequency of use, the environment its operated. Remember this is not an ordinary fan which blade and fan guard accumulates dust and germs.....

Sorry i dont use the purifier anymore big waste of money. Way too expensive for me with my well water. I go thru a filter every 1.5 months. Scrubbing only gives me an extra half a month. I even soak it in vinegar to dissolve the calcium. After 4 scrubbings it simply allows no water thru.

Sawyer's claim for the filter is that it removes 99.99999% of all harmful bacteria and 99.9999% of protozoa. Viruses are not included nor are other impurities mentioned. I have written to Sawyer to ask about tannin and brackish water and will reply again once I receive a return message. I'm not sure when that will be, but hope it will be soon.Keri-LynnFour Seasons Survival

Yes. Turn off all filters and just use this filter and uv light for two or three days. Amazing results.

I am not sure what a purifier is? You use the cleaner by connecting to the skimmer.

filters do not kill viruses. If you're concern about virsus you need to add a water purifier.

it helps eliminate all allergens, dander, and viruses i think as small as .5-.3 microns. but im almost certain it is .3 :) also the genius 5 is good but i have the genius 4 and i love it. I leave mine running 24/7 and I've had it about 6 months now. i just cleaned my filter and i was AMAZED at all the dust and dander it cleaned out of the air. I have 2 labs so i leave it running to filter their hair and it does wonders. would highly recommend getting one of these!

They say uv light kills 99.99% of bacteria; period! I scan everything I have to scan; every few days!!!

A company representative informed me that it filters 100% of that particles. Their website says "99%" of particles. Another company representative said that it was "under 1 micron."

I do not know for sure if it removes mold. I am not allergic to mold, but I believe the UV light setting will kill airborne mold. I mainly got it for dust and dog dander allergies for my now toddler son. I still use it daily and love the air purifier with all its option settings and filter change indicator (changing every 9 months).

I've had my purifier a few months now. I've vacuumed the pre filter off several times, and it my opinion, it could be gently washed if necessary and will last a long time. I love this purifier!

There are no filters. It is an ionizer type of purifier. You simply keep the outside of the fan clean.
