Frequently Asked Questions

An air purifier is a device that uses a filter(usually HEPA) to filter-out pollutants from the indoor air such as dust, viruses, bacteria, allergens etc.

Just a filter change

The air purifier draws the room air into the device with the help of fans. The room air is cleaned by several filters inside the device and returned to the room as clean air. Each filter serves a specific purpose by cleaning the air of specific pollutants. These specially developed, multi-stage filters remove pollutants from the room air – including respirable and ultrafine particles (nanoparticles) that can cause illness.

Pre-filter grid
The pre-filter grid surrounds the 360° multi-layer filter and removes coarse dirt such as hair, lint and dust.

Pre-filter layer
The pre-filter removes coarse particles and extends the life of the HEPA filter.

HEPA microfibre layer
The microfibre layer filters even respirable and ultrafine particles (PM2.5, PM0.3).

Activated carbon layer
The activated carbon neutralizes even chemical substances, NO2, ozone and strong odors.

Cover layer
The covering fleece protects the high proportion of activated carbon.

Filter with 360° arrangement
The 360° cartridge design ensures effective use of the entire surface and high air throughput.

The five filter layers of our smart filters capture small and large particles, as well as gases and molecules. They also filter the so-called MPPS (“Most Penetrating Particle Size”), the most difficult-to-remove particles with a size between 0.1 and 0.3 micrometres. Thanks to their round design, the filter surface is optimally utilized.

The typical life for an IDEAL HEPA filter is 1 year for a 24/7 operation of the purifier. The filter life depends on the use and the level of pollution in a room

IDEAL air purifiers use a very high grade HEPA filters with active carbon. The filters are made from Polypropylene, which cannot be metabolized by microorganisms

This would be ideal but in general, if you use the appropriate device for the area, it will still be effective

Yes, it is even better to use the air purifier when the air condition is on. When the air condition is on, the windows are closed and there is no fresh air coming into the room.

Yes. It is actually a very good practice to use your air purifier during sleep

Yes. Although the sleep quality depends on many factors, an air purifier can improve it by removing different allergens or dust particles from the air. Poor air quality can be one of the factors for poor sleep.

IDEAL air purifiers are one of the most quiet devices on the market. Especially on NIGHT mode, it is quieter than a whisper.

There are many different reasons for choosing an air purifier. The presence of certain indoor complaints that can be traced back to polluted air is a prime reason for its use. Problems are often caused by pollen, mold spores, or even bacteria and viruses. However, other environmental influences such as particulate matter, car exhaust, nitrogen dioxide, etc., which are particularly prevalent in cities, also affect our indoor air and ourselves. Furthermore, fumes from floor coverings, furniture, adhesives, etc. (so-called VOCs) negatively impact our indoor air. Even relatively short-term activities such as smoking, cooking, burning candles, or using scented oils in lamps worsen the quality of the air we breathe. Renovation work also releases pollutants and can severely pollute indoor air. And, of course, we ourselves are also largely responsible for the negative impact on our indoor air. We consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide, water vapor, excess heat, and body odors into our environment. All of this speaks in favor of using an air purifier to improve indoor air quality.

Whether at home or at work, we spend up to 90% of our day indoors. Whether we work, sleep, shop, or eat, we mostly do this indoors. We rarely think about the air we breathe inside, but it can be much more polluted than the air outside. Possible contaminants in indoor air include:

Bacteria and viruses
They’re so small that they can only be seen under a microscope, which is why they’re called microorganisms. For us, this means we have no chance of detecting them until we come into contact with them. Bacteria and viruses are found everywhere. And they spread incredibly quickly, especially in (large) crowds.

Pollen and allergens
Allergy sufferers often have a particularly difficult time in their homes, workplaces, and other indoor spaces. Dust allergy sufferers are exposed to irritation year-round, while pollen allergy sufferers experience an aggravation of their symptoms every time they air out during the season. Mites, mould, and chemicals can also trigger or contribute to allergies.

Fine dust
Fine particulate matter is one of the most dangerous pollutants to our health because it can penetrate the sensitive areas of our respiratory system. Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter is harmful to health and shortens lifespans. Fine particulate matter kills approximately 7 million people each year. Studies also suggest that fine particulate matter increases the risk of heart attacks and lung cancer and may even trigger diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Fine particulate matter penetrating from outside is also a dangerous issue indoors.

Odours and chemicals
Fumes, odours, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and formaldehyde are transported and absorbed through the air. Depending on the substance, excessive amounts of these indoors can cause discomfort, and in some cases, even serious health problems: respiratory tract irritation or nervous system impairment. Some substances are even said to be carcinogenic. Some air purifiers use so-called ionizers, which generate ozone and thus ensure fresh air. Not so with IDEAL air purifiers.

To achieve optimal performance, it is important to consider the specified square footage (m²), as each air purifier is designed for a specific room size. Select a device that can filter a sufficient amount of air for your space, as only then can you achieve optimal cleaning performance. To achieve this, all device components must work together perfectly: filter technology, fan, and sensors. This is crucial for achieving high air throughput and maximum cleaning performance.

For smaller rooms or those looking for an excellent entry-level solution, the IDEAL AP25 offers compact yet powerful performance. It provides reliable, everyday air purification using a multi-stage filter system to effectively clean smaller living spaces or individual offices.

For larger spaces and demanding environments, the IDEAL AP PRO air purifiers step in. Thanks to highly effective, multi-stage filter technologies, they filter up to 99.99% of particles and pollutants from the room air with exceptional effectiveness and efficiency. Across both lines, the systems capture pollen and other allergens, fine dust, pathogens, bacteria, mold spores, pet dander, cigarette smoke, and even chemical vapors and odors.

In addition to premium cleaning performance, IDEAL AP PRO air purifiers ensure an excellent air flow of up to 800 m³ per hour. When placed in the right-sized room, the entire room air is circulated or exchanged four to five times per hour (air exchange rate). Thanks to intelligent air sensors featured across these devices, odors and particles are continuously measured, guaranteeing optimal air quality automatically.
