Home air was getting real bad I needed a solution fast. Seems the fine dust / old mud from the Ondoy flood in 2009 has not stopped haunting our home. Last time I blogged about it we sealed the ceiling with a glue gun to prevent seepage of fine dust. Seems it hasn’t stopped. I asked the maids to clean the ceiling facing beams and sure enough there were tons of dirt there… in all the 4 beams. Plus on top of the toilet, an attic like space is open to gather even more dust.
Think. How can we clean up the air immediately? Sure we could tear down the roof… at what cost and for how long does that take? How to clean the air immediately? Air purifiers come to mind.
Went to the department store and looked for the most expensive thing they had. Hoping expensive meant performance. Got a Bionaire Air Purifier with ULPA Filter BAP1560. Hepa filter… good… maybe it will be our ticket to health and get rid of everyone’s colds.
At the same time I bought a Filtrete Microparticle Aircon Filter with Electrostatic Fibers.
Seems the colds, mucus formation is caused by the home environment with that Ondoy fine dust continuously falling from the ceiling. The body response is to protect its lungs. Make more mucus, filter the air.
If our air was cleaner, then our bodies would tone down in the mucus production.
Let’s see how well this contraption works in the next few days.
The Bionaire UA-1560 air purifier removes dust, pollen, tobacco smoke, pet dander, mold spores, viruses and bacteria! A special filter seal improves the unit’s performance by preventing leak by-pass. The independently controlled ionizer helps clean and freshen the air you breath. The Bionaire air purifier has three-speeds for comfort, high and medium for daytime use and low (quiet) for clean air while you sleep. A Carbon filament filter also absorbs odors making the air smell cleaner and fresher. The oversize handle allows the air purifier to be easily moved from room to room. An electronic filter monitor will light when its time to change the ULPA filter. The 360° rotating grill allows you to direct the air where you want. The Bionaire UA-1560 will clean the air of a 14 ‘x 15’ size room every 12 minutes!
