What is the advantage of HAPA filter media over traditional HEPA filtration?
HAPA, High Airflow Particulate Air Filter media, is less restrictive to airflow than traditional HEPA media. That means that more air can travel through the filter without any loss in filter efficiency. For this reason, Airistar® air purification units can output higher volumes of air at a greater velocity than comparable air cleaning units. This higher standard provides more air changes per hour making our unit more effective in an average size room. For more information about HAPA filtration, please see our product page.
