Air Purifiers

I have a HEPA type Holmes Air Purifier (Model # HAP422SRC-U) with a filter indicator light. It’s light came on, so I changed out the filters. While I was at it, I added carbon/odor grabbing filters. The instructions included with the carbon filters said to remove the foam pre-filter (it wasn’t needed), so I did. The indicator light is still on, but I can’t find anything online or in the manual about HOW to reset it. The box just says "reset when changing the filters" … grrrrrr!!! Shouldn’t it auto reset??
I just got an email from Holmes … if you hold the power button down for about 3 seconds (while the unit is on) this will reset the indicator light. It worked!

I have neighbors that excessively use pesticides on their lawn. Being concerned that some of these poisons might be permeated into my home, I purchased the 5000 series Vocarb from AllerAir to set in my bedroom. It has..

Filtration System: Vocarb Carbon, Micro HEPA, Prodense Pre-filter
Carbon Filter: 18 lbs Vocarb, 2.5" Depth

Will this filter suck all of the pesticides out of the indoor air, or is even it not enough? I also have a Spider Plant, Golden Pothos plant, and Bamboo plant in my room. With the plants working in conjuction with the air filter, should there be no measurable level of pesticide residue in my room that might be inhaled?

i currently have a honeywell 18155 i dont know my rooms exact measurements its an average bedroom i figure its between 500-700 sq feet well the honeywell doesnt seem to be doing the job ive had it since febuary of this year,my room has alot of dust and i know i have to dust but it should make some what of a difference and it hasnt when i clean the hepa filter and replace the pre filter theres dust in there but still i see tons of air born particles in the air…so im looking for a new purifier for my sized room that will do a much better job then this and that either doesnt need filter replacement or doesnt need it often and if it needs replacement every few months it cant be to expensive price of the purifier should be no more then 400 would love to spend less then that but really need something thats going to do the job this one truely i dont see a difference in my allergies or anything else in the air

My one year old little girl has had a lot of problems breathing. She has been in the hospital at least twice because she has difficulty breathing. The doctors told us that she has bronchalitis. They will not diagnose her with asthma yet because she is too young. I have recently finished an environmental science class and with that new insight I believe that an air purifier will help her with breathing, at least when she sleeps. My wife is a little more skeptic on the issues. She doesnt believe that an air purifier will necessarily help our daughter. She is worried that the air purifier will put out more pollutants in to the air then it takes out. I have been looking into air purifiers with a three filter combination (pre-filter, carbon filter, and hepa filter) to maximize the purification. We will not be getting an ozone purifier or an ion purifier do to the chance that extra ozone will be put into the air from the purifier. Thank you for any help you can give.

I need the manuel for this item. Here is kenmore’s description of it
"The Kenmore Electrostatic Air Cleaner quickly and effectively reduces airborne allergens and irritants in larger rooms of your home or home office - using a 3 stage cleaning system. Pre-filter collects large particles, the collecting cell charges and attracts smaller particulates, and lastly, an ionizer revitalizes the clean air. The washable filter system saves time and money because it eliminates buying or replacing extra filters. Control panel with LCD puts all the controls at your fingertips."

Where can I find it?

Might I have an actually knowledgeable answer, from someone?

Ok, so I have the Honeywell HHT081, and the red cleaning light turned on. So I cleaned off the pre-filter, and vacuumed the two hepa filters as well. Then I turned it on, and the light is still red. Is it possible I need to vacuum it more?

Hey folks,

I was given a HoneyWell 52500 air purifier a while back from a friend. I’m not sure how much it was used or if the filter or pre-filter was replaced because his parents gave it to him.

Is there anyway I can tell if it needs a new prefilter and/or a new filter? Together they cost nearly 0, so I’d rather not just buy it for the heck of it.

Thanks!

I have a Honeywell air purifier. I washed the carbon pre-filter and the inside HEPA filter. I just read though that you are not supposed to reuse these. Can anyone tell me why? It seems that they should still be usable.
