Does the airsource 3000 remove/ control dust mites
1852093
I can only answer from experience that it most likely does but cannot confirm as I do not know what the specs are on this unit. The U.V. bulb is designed to kill mold spores and microscopic critters. A unit was placed in a mold smelling closet in Florida and within 24 hrs there was no odor or detection of mold. I have 2 units and I have found the U.V. bulb to last about 3 yrs. If you are buying a used unit you most likely will want to replace the bulb if it's a few years old and take the casing off the unit and vacuum and clean it's interior.

Yes, controls. It will not kill dust mites, but it destroys what they eat, so they gradually die off in an area. The molecules from the unit will not get inside things like a pillow or mattress (it does not penetrate very far) but as the surfaces get cleaned off, things inside tend to soak up to the surface, where they are then cleansed. So, kills - no, controls over time - yes.

Dust mites aren't harmful to people but can cause allergies. The barrier blocks skin particles from getting into the mattress, cutting off the mites' food supply so they decrease in number. You may be thinking of bedbugs, which do bite and for which you would need a fully encasing protector.

The Verilux web site has a chart (the "kill rate data"). To kill 90% of dust mites the range is from 0.42 MINUTES for a 1 sq. cm pillow to 1602.41 Minutes for a King size mattress. There are 6 other catagories, which take less time. Go to www.verilux.com.

The default dust collection could be more accurately called a 'dust sampler'. Pretty useless. On my saw, I removed the useless tiny plastic scoop thing and fabricated my own custom scoop out of thin cardboard and masking-tape. It actually looks rather like the scoop on the Festool Kapex, and works quite well, considering. Then i hook up my shopvac to the saw.

This works better than PERFECT ... FELLOWES 99790 Air Duster, buy it here on Amazon. I have been using it for years on my Braun 7526.

yes & there is a few different types of filter media that you can use so you can filter out the specific problems that you are having with your air supply... it is VERY small so next time I am going to get a bigger one so it would last longer between cleanings...

Hi! That's what I thought too, but apparently the tight weave of the fabric makes it impossible for the dust mites to get through. It must work because we've used other covers where myself and my daughter would wake up sneezing and stuffy, but with this cover we are waking up feeling much better. I do wash them every time I wash my sheets which probably helps. (As an aside, do you know that most pillows can be washed regularly in hot water to kill dust mites? I recently found this out and my pillows are now squeaky clean and still fluffy!) I liked this product because of the good warranty, as previous covers fell apart after washing several times but now I feel like I can fall back on the warranty if necessary. Anyhow, here is some info that I found online that explains the company's answer to your question. Hope this is helpful! Cheers! :) Allersoft is the most popular allergy-proof fabric we carry because it is 100% pure cotton and lab-tested to block allergens and dust mites. It's an amazing fabric that is made in the USA with a patented, special super-tight weave. Don't confuse thread count with allergy protection. 100% pure cotton for the ultimate in comfort without sacrificing efficacy. No added chemicals or harsh treatments. With a mean flow pore size diameter of 4.91 microns, this fabric is one of the most effective barriers against pet dander, dust mites, bed bugs and other harmful allergens.

I do not have termites now so I really don't know I use it for dust mites and they not bother me

I don't know - I'm not trying to relieve allergies with it, only reduce odors, and it does do that. Dust mites are a whole 'nother thing. I think I would get a tabletop air purifier, seal my mattress, things like that - which I should do also but haven't done yet. But these little machines are not very expensive and it might be worth it to try one.

I bought it to get the spider mites out of my trees, but I use it as a general preventative. Works great.

Unlike bedbugs, dust mites are tiny and don't travel around looking for food. They stay in one place where they find a food source, and that is in your mattress! By preventing dead skin cells from collecting in your mattress (they can't get through this mattress protector), dust mites can't survive and the allergens they create disappear.

Have I applied it to dust mites then looked at their dead bodies thru magnification??? No! But knowing what I know about UV a, b, & c waves, I cannot imagine a dust mite could survive such punishment. If you have a dust mite problem, remember that only thru dedication to eradication will solve your problem. As good as this product is, don't expect a one time application to do the trick...those little buggers know how to hide.

I have never tried it on dust mites, however, judging by the wide range of bacteria and germs that it does eradicate, I would assume so. Keep in mind that a degerminator cleans relatively small surface areas than have been contaminated with germs (work areas, children's toys, ear buds, lab supplies) you would need to get a UV light with a very large bulb to cover large areas-- or mites would simply move back into your degerminated area easily.

I don't think so. In the meantime I bought a new Dustbuster with the sponge filter. Much simpler to clean!

No it do not help clean the dust out the air. It just clean the air of smells pet dander and such.
