Air Ionizer Technology Gets Even Better

Air ionizer technology is simply top notch.  Ionic cleaners push negative ions into the air to create an attraction in minute particles. This causes all airborne germs, dust and micro-organisms to bond, and then harmlessly fall out of the air  –  brilliant!  Air ionizers in and of themselves do a wonderful job of providing wonderfully fresh and clean air in almost any home, car or office situation.

Nothing is Perfect  –   But Ionizers are Getting Very Close
Despite the genius of this technology, it does have its down falls. For instance, the fact that the particles are now on every day surfaces can be off putting to some people.  Granted most people would just clean these particles up as they would during any other ordinary cleaning. There are people, such as myself, who are quite honestly domestically challenged. For us, cleaning can’t ever be easy enough.  We really don’t want to spend all that extra energy we’ve gained from fresher air cleaning up the actual particles that used to be going into our lungs. Also, there is no actual filtration in simple ionic cleaners.  This means that the few small particles that are not ionized are still floating out there somewhere.  Additionally, ionic cleaners rely heavily on the normal house-cleaning of the user to ultimately rid the indoor environment of the fallen dust. Remember some of us just rush through the house cleaning, sometimes leaving behind remnants that could potentially re-enter the air.

Hybrid Air Ionizers  –   Ever Closer to Perfection
To address these downfalls, air ionizers are currently being packaged and combined with technology from other types of air cleaners.  Several manufacturers are creating hybrids that would make Dr. Frankenstein proud.  Unlike the fictional doctor, companies such as Hunter, are combining very functional types of technology that are also very much alive. The Hunter Quiet Flow is a shining example of combining HEPA filters with ionic air purifying functions. The result is an air purifier that can both subtract and filter almost any unwanted airborne particles. The ionization process makes particles passing through the filters even stickier. The result is more particles in the filter, less in our lungs; and less time wasted on having to clean - for those of us who don’t like to. This unit perfectly illustrates the combining of two very successful methods of air cleansing combining into one superb effort.
