is this really gonna make me live longer
just blow all the stuff away.
If you fell for the child replacement indoor furbaby meme then these are a good idea.
Literally just returned this today. Boughted it for my (small) room because seasonal allergies are raping me. highest setting for a week, windows and door closed. did absolutely nothing to help with my allergies, overpriced as fuck
>>108762487No.
Get a drum fan
Yes. It will add two days to your lifespan.
>>108762487If your mind believes, the placebo effect will kick in.
Probably not, but I got one for my office and have noticed significantly less dust in my desktop and home server as a result. So I guess it makes my pooters live longer.
Sorry I'm just looking up my desk here... Uh, yeah, they will make you live 3x as long as a regular fan. The exaggerated purpose and need for them in your home is definitely not to make an acoustic fog for mapping out every digital and radio device in your home.
>>108762487no uv-c
>>108762678Again looking up from my desk, actually this one will give you cancerous AIDS if you ever got vaccinated. But if not then it definitely DOESN'T do that. Wink.
If you have a typical centrally-ducted forced-air HVAC system there's a HEPA filter right next to your furnace that makes these entirely redundant. If you don't, then strapping one of those filters to a box fan is significantly cheaper and significantly more effective than buying whatever the fuck that is.
>>108762678you know what uvc radiation does to your body right
>>108762728
>>108762487>>108762678Tiny ones like these are just placeboBut you can get real air cleaners for just 2-3x the price
>>108762487use case for living longer
>>108762487>creates 03>literally die in 20 yearsknock yourself out bud
>>108762728Don't go outside
i have one, if i transmit on my boafeng near it, it reboots
>>108762487I have one. I put it in a box and hooked a hose up to it to outside so it pulls in fresh air that it filters. I don't know if I'll live longer but it's cheap AC that keeps the pollenpocolypse out. I'm not allergic but the orange dust all over fucking everything outside gets old.
>>108762770what happens if you shine it on your balls?
>>108762945are you stupid or yuropoorean education? Small amounts of o3 will dissipate before you inhale it.
>>108762728You're not supposed to have it shining on you.
>>108762487Why do you want to live longer? Life ends after 40
unironically
>>108763978Absolutely this.20x20 filters are inexpensive and will continue to be manufactured for the rest of our lives, unlike the overpriced bespoke filters for whatever purifier system some Chinese factory pumped out last year and then promptly forgot about forever.
>>108762487I have that same levoit core300, it's very effective at removing my 3d printer fumes in my 33m2 studio apartment. The filters cost so much fucking money tho, I literally can't afford to run it unless absolutely necessary
>>108763978Better to build a coof cube. They have more airflow and don't make the fan struggle so much.>>108764032Just vacuum out the filter and put it back in. It'll be good enough for years.
>>108763301you become female. thats how they make females.
>>108764262Blueprint for coof cube please?
>>108764519Four filters, a box fan, and some duct tape. If you're feeling frisky, four legs out of 2x2, five filters, a box fan and duck tape. At one point i found an stl that made it easier to change the filters but I lost it. Now I'll probably just build a wood frame out of 2x2s and just put some rotatable tabs to make swapping the filters easy.
>>108764546Thanks. This pollen is kicking my ass so I'll give this a shot.
>>108764519>>108764546haven't made one of these but i was interested and looked these up and it seems they aren't a meme. like sure merv13 filters don't filter as well as fancy hepa ones, but the sheer throughput you can get out of a cheap diy box like this means you can filter the air in a room multiple times over compared to an off-the-shelf air purifier which more than makes up for it
>>108764564The main reason to use more filters is it increases the surface area the fan pulls air against. This makes it much easier for the fan to pull air through the filters and allows it to run cooler and flow more air with less noise.
>>108764546Bro making his house an industrial plant
>>108764576I'm making my house a clean room.
>>108762487it expects air flow if you keep your windows closed it won't do anything useful.
>>108764546there's a guy on youtube whos made several of these, they're competitive with store bought air purifiers
>>108762487Just build one.
>>108764546I'm having trouble finding a proper fan for this sort of deal. Do people have parts lists for this sort of deal?
>>108764661https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxPk8yOH-z4
>>108763978>>108764546filters like these are literally impossible to buy in Europe
>>108764726Get something close to it then. With cardboard, duck tape, whatever filter you can get, and a fan you can do it.
>>108762487I bought some years ago one of those to reduce the dust accumulation I have here and in sunlight I could see how the dust would be everywhere in the air with this thing doing jack shit other than producing noise.
>>108762487i just tape a garbage bag to my fan
>>108762487Yes, but not with these kinds of commercial air purifiers, or at least not in this size and price range. Most name brand air purifiers on the market are loud, power hungry, require proprietary filters, and don't actually move much air (which means they don't do much for filtration). You're paying for a placebo.If you want something cheap and effective, build a CR box with a box fan and some MERV13 filters. It'll look ugly and still be loud, but it'll actually work. If you want something that's quieter and more efficient, and are willing to spend the money, look into PC fan air purifiers. There's a few manufacturers on the internet selling kits for them with varying price points and materials. More expensive, but the performance is real. You can also fully DIY your own for cheaper if you're willing and/or capable of building a frame, since everything but the housing uses off-the-shelf parts.
just diy itthose are pretty shit
>>108764726get the ikea onesit doesnt matter how effective they are that much as much as the total airflow>>108764546you can use computer fans, havent done it myself since i dont know how attach them and wire it
>>108762487Maybe, idfk. I have that exact one and it's nice when Canada's wildfire smoke is fucking up my area during the summers.
>>108763301UV can give you cancer :)
>>108762945o3 stinks
It's bullshit. HEPA filters need massive airflow to work properly. You need an industrial-tier system and fans to make it work.It's etter to get an elaborate reverse osmosis water filter for your kitchen tap. Water will make you live much longer.
>>108765171you dont need massive airflow but definitely more than those consumer ones provide
>>108765171>HEPA filters need massive airflow to work properlyYou need air going in one side of the filter and out the other.
levoit is garbage as is most of the chinkshit on amazon. Coway and Winix are crap too. These things don't have a proper seal so air will bypass the filter and the unit will get clogged with dust.99.blablabla% when more than 1% of the air doesn't even pass through the filter.buy an iqair healthpro plus or an airpura unit.You need to oversize your units because the cadr is bullshit measured at max speed on brand new filters. Also these unit are worthless on automode or silent mode. You need constant air exchanges and for that they need to run on a high setting.Anything tiny will be noisy because of the high air resistance and small fans.
>>108762487Is that the new Mac Pro?
>buy air purifier becasue my apartment is somehow always dusty af>apartment is still always dusty af
>>108764599can you retards ask ai but spilling nonsenseif you open the window the air purifier would become useless because it'd be trying to filter the entire world
>>108764746If you turn up the power you can literally see the air dust flowing into its direction
>>108765171lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g14JtDrkNY
>>108767922ntaonly one of those is reverse osmosis and it worked perfectly and got first place. what a worthless post
>>108764726>>108765052Ended up settling for a 7H0819631A and some mattress foam to cover the gap when i wanted to replace the chink filter in my current chink air purifier box.But yes, 'Mericans do have it a lot easier.
>>108764726Why wouldn't they sell air conditioner filters in Europe? Surely you guys have air conditioning?
>>108762487I use a shitty air purifier that's barely just a fan and filter, especially when I vacuum, and it seems to make the air less annoying, and I'll sneeze less. As long as the filter is getting dirty, shit is being pulled from the air. Live longer or not, a dusty living space is slowly miserable.
>>108762487large round filters are pretty logical (because yea that's one design to pull in air through a large filter area) but it doesn't really need a "high torque" motor lolIt probably helps with polluted air rather than just pollen allergies too, yes. It's not a bad idea if filtering your air intake directly isn't feasible and you just try to make the best of using windows or random hatches for ventilation.
Is pic related good? I've been running this thing for awhile and it doesn't feel like my room is any less dusty. It feels like it's doing nothing but it's highly rated by multiple sources including consumer reports. Is this thing legit or not.
>>108767903If you close the window, you will die from lack of oxygen and build-up of poisonous gases.
>>108764546>Box fans are designed for high-volume, low-pressure air movement, typically providing very low static pressure (well under 0.1–0.2 inches of water column). They are inefficient against resistance, meaning air filters or obstructions significantly reduce airflow, increase noise, and can cause motor strain. They are not designed for high-static-pressure applications.
>>108764546>>108764519seems most efficient to just use one of these to refill air canisters and use a mask in your home.
just build yourself one of these and blast it 24/7, change filters once a year. I hope you guys like the noise>>108771111CADR might be too low
>>108771111Also if your room is too dusty then it will drown out the air filter
>>108771298I was looking for the website for that thing>>108771245maybe, but my N100 mask smells like plastic
>>108771321Its called corsi-rosenthal box. You need a bunch of PC fans and cheap fine dust filters (80% filtration rate is fine since it cycles trough the filter anyways).
>>108762721that is exactly what you said
What about an electrostaic purifier? No fans/noise.
>>108771390It makes ozone which supposedly sucks.
>>108771411It's like 5W power draw. How much can it realistically even make? It's not like you huff it straight from the gizmo
>>108771419I dont know. Im just saying what google ai tells me to say
>>108766934The dust is literally coming from you. Easy way to confirm: close all your windows, leave a door open in your room and put an air purifier next to it.
Bought pic related. It's not bad, I don't have any allergies but the air in the room does feel less dusty. It's worth considering the ventilation in the room before using it, if you have some sort of active system (like a recuperator) then this thing will be useless.
>>108771215This is why you use more filters to decrease the static load as much as possible. >>108771390Depends, generally you can smell the ozone they make and it's not healthy to breath it. An ozone generator is a great way to kill pests or smells though. Put one in a stinky car for a day and the smell will be gone.
>>108771552Forgot pic
>>108764546Will this make my room less dusty? My desk literally gets caked in dust less than a week after wiping it. I can't even tell where the dust is coming from.Carpet?Clothes?Organic matter from my skin?Outside? (I keep my window open often, though I don't live in a dry/dusty location)
>>108764546Wait, so the fan is sucking air from the top, blowing it into the chamber and forcing it through the filter media?
>>108771592It comes from literally all sources especially if you have a bed in there. It obviously will make the air cleaner. It is a good thing. You will see the difference in your nose clogging less and the air smelling fresher. Just make sure the air cleaner is oversized so it can filter without too much noise. Baby heads should not dent in so much what an appaling pic.
>>108771708other waysuction, not pressure
>>108771111>>108762487small units are uselessan air purifier is just a fan with a filter, so bigger = better
>>108772329The unit I posted isn't small though.
