Why Are HEPA Filters so Expensive?

When you are using an air purifier, you will notice that the HEPA filters involved are extremely expensive. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters can remove as much as 99% of airborne particles and microbes from the air. This also includes allergens, smoke, and mold spores. These devices will vastly improve the air quality of your home and your overall quality of life. Just like most of these finer things in life, these HEPA filters will cost you a pretty penny. This blog will explain the economics and science that make HEPA filters so expensive to constantly replace.

How Technology Affects Price of HEPA Filters

HEPA air filters have a very complex technology. They are made up of woven fibers. In fact, they trap and keep 99% of airborne microbes and particles. This can include anything from pet hair and seasonal dander that causes allergies, as well as tobacco smoke. The process goes through three steps: Interception, impaction and diffusion. Along the process of purification, these three steps ensure that the microbes are either trapped or negated from circulating in your air space.

The material that makes up these filters is usually woven fiberglass that are engineered specially for interception of these tiny molecules. Whether you are filtering your home or professional space, you can count on HEPA filters to clear the air.

How Longevity Affects Price of HEPA Filters

The lifespan of your HEPA filter depends on the quality. Some filters are washable and can last for a long time, sometimes up to five years. Read descriptions, reviews, and instruction manuals to plan whether you will have to budget out filters consistently or if your filter is washable. Some HEPA filters are actually permanent and there is no possibility to wash or replace them. This means that you will have to vacuum them using a hose.

How Purifier Size Affects Price of HEPA Filters

Bigger HEPA filters will clean more air space, but they will also be more expensive. With purifiers on the market offering various different space coverage, it is important to know your needs before shopping. If you are cleaning large, corporate, or industrial spaces, you will need a large, heavy duty HEPA filter. It is important to know that it could cost much more than traditional filters. If you are simply going room to room in your house, the size of your machine will be much smaller and in line with consumer prices.

How Purifier Brand Affects Price of HEPA Filters

Brands matter because the quality of your product and customer service experience starts and ends with the company’s reputation and commitment to excellence. To design and produce great products while also giving a great warranty and customer service, companies will have to charge more. Don’t settle for filters that are not backed by a strong brand or manufacturer warranty. In case you do, you will quickly have to replace it when it fails to finish the job or breaks. Read reviews, check the website and social media, and do as much research as you can to protect your investment.

Oh My Sirena!

I’ve never used a canister vacuum so that is taking a little getting used to. It’s kind of funny; my husband pointed out I don’t call it the vacuum or a sweeper. I call it “my Sirena”. It works great, I was surprised how much pet hair it picked up my first use. The deodorizer and essential oils I will definitely order more of when these run out. My old vacuum seems like a toy in comparison of how much more effective my Sirena is. It’s only been a couple of weeks but as of right now I am very happy with this purchase. Will write another review in December when I’ve had it a while. The extra hose and attachments I haven’t really figured out a good way to store it for accessibility and convenience. Any suggestions?

Best vacuum I've encountered in 16 years

Sixteen years ago I bought an Ocean Blue water filtered vacuum. It was by far the best vacuum I had ever owned, but it's wearing out now and they quit making them. I just got a new Sirena and it has all the features of the Ocean Blue plus a few improvements. If you know anything about water filtration vacs, I don't need to tell you how good they are. This one is the best I've encountered in a long time.
