Air Water and Ionic Purifiers

Does An Ionic Air Purifier Actually Remove Germs From The Air?

I have just written a review on the Ionic Pro Air Purifier which i think is the one you are talking about: http://air-purifier-reviewsite.com/revie…

As i point out in my review, the ionic air purifier only has a capability of removing particles bigger than 1 micron.

Bacteria/germs are sized at between 0.5 microns and 2 microns. So only bacteria that are bigger than 1 micron will be caught by the Ionic air purifier.

Viruses on the other hand are far smaller ranging in size from about .01 to .25 microns so you ionic purifier will not be able to touch these.

The other problem with an Ionic purifier is that its based on a technology that is unable to purifier large amounts of air. The Ionic pro air purifier uses the same technology as the ionic breeze air purifier and in tests this was shown to remove only 30% of particles from the air. So its very likely that your ionic purifier will miss most of the germs and bacteria in the air.

I hope this answers your question
