| What is the Purifan Clean Air System? |
 | | The Purifan is a highly-effective, efficient and quiet air purifier designed to replace the paddle blades of some 48" and most 52", 4 or 5-blade ceiling fans. The Purifan turns a ceiling fan into a very efficient air cleaner that circulates and cleans the air throughout an entire room.
|
| | How does the Purifan work? |
| | The Purifan creates a low pressure area in the center of your room, drawing impure air up and filtering it through an advanced 5-stage filters, then recirculating the clean air throughout the entire room. The Purifan cleans and circulates more than 2,000 cubic feet of air per minute. It cleans the air in a 20' x 20' x 8' room every 90 seconds!
|
| How much does the Purifan weigh? What is it made of? |
| It is made of light ABS (high impact plastic polymer) that weighs about 10 pounds. It has been specially designed to put no more load on the motor than the existing paddle blades.
|
| How much energy does the Purifan use? |
| The revolutionary Purifan Clean Air System has been designed to put no more load on the motor than the existing paddle blades. This means that it uses no more energy than the existing ceiling fan - which is the equivalent of a 60-watt bulb. It also offers the heating and cooling benefits of a traditional ceiling fan plus the cleaning advantages of an air purifier.
|
| Does the Purifan come with a motor? |
| No, the Purifan is designed to work with an existing ceiling fan. If a ceiling fan motor is needed to install the Purifan Clean Air System, we carry Purifan fan motors. They are available in four colors to match the colors of the Purifan and cost $65.00.
|
| Will the Purifan work with an existing light kit? |
The Purifan will work with most light kits.  | How will the Purifan attach to my ceiling fan? |
| It actually replaces the paddle blades of your ceiling fan. The Purifan is easy to install. Simply remove the paddle blades from the ceiling fan, then using our universal mounting brackets, mount the Purifan onto the ceiling fan. The paddle blades can be stored away.
|
| How long will it take to install my Purifan? Can I install it myself? |
| Purifan is easy to install. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver and a stepladder. On average it takes around 15 - 20 minutes to install.
|
| At what speed should the ceiling fan be set? |
| For maximum Purifan efficiency the ceiling fan motor should be set on high or the fastest speed.
|
| How do I know if the Purifan will work on my ceiling fan? |
| First, determine the size of your ceiling fan by measuring from the tip of one paddle blade to the center of the motor. Multiply that number by two. Most ceiling fans are 36", 42", 48" or 52". The Purifan is designed to work with traditional four or five blade ceiling fans and will work with some 48" and most 52" fans.
Second, check to see if you can see where the blades connect to the motor (they are usually secured with two screws). If you can see the mounting screws by standing below the fan motor - in most cases your fan will be compatible with the Purifan.
Third, remove one of the blades from the fan motor. Is there at least 1/2 " of space from the bottom of the motor, (where the blade attaches), to the top of the switch housing (decorative round canister hanging below the motor that contains the speed switch)? If so, your fan will in most cases be compatible with the Purifan.
Fourth, measure the distance from the center of either blade mounting screw to the outside edge of the motor shaft. If that distance is at least 1.75" your fan will in most cases be compatible with the Purifan.

| Purifan comes in four designer color choices: Ivory, Black, Pewter, and Bronze.
|
| What makes the Purifan's filtering system so unique? |
| Purifan's revolutionary 5-stage filtering system can be adapted to the environment simply by changing the filter media. The Purus Aire I filter media reduces allergy, asthma, and respiratory particles using an advanced 5-stage filter that consists of a polyester pre-filter that captures bigger particles like dust, hair and even bugs. Next there is an activated carbon filter that filters out odors. Then there is a nanoparticle filter that efficiently eliminates any remaining odors. This is followed by a HEPA filter section which reduces particles as small as .3 microns. This final stage is an additional layer of charcoal.
The PurusAire II filter media reduces the gases and odors associated with smoke. This 5-stage filter consists of a polyester pre-filter which captures the bigger particles like dust hair and even bugs. Next there is an activated carbon filter that filters many of the gases and odors. Then there is a Potassium Permanganate section with activated alumina that filters many of the gases and odors that do not react to activated carbon, such as Amonia, Butane, Formaldehyde and Methane to name a few - all of which are present in cigarette smoke. This is followed by a nanoparticle filter that efficiently eliminates any remaining odors. This final stage is another layer activated carbon.

| How often do the filters have to be changed? |
| Filter changes depend on the environment in which they are used. For example, if you live on a dirt road or where there are many smokers present the filter life may be shorter. On average, most residential units will only require filter replacement about once every 9-12 months.
|
| How much are replacement filters? |
| The PurusAir I filters are $40 per set. The PurusAire II filters are $50 per set.
