The Blueair 501 Air Purifier with SmokeStop Filters
The 501 with smokstop is the system of choice for people living with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory
conditions,
or for anyone who wants cleaner, more breathable
air. If smoke is a problem, this unit is the appropriate choice. The 501 SmokeStop effectively
purifies air in rooms as large as 550 square feet. Using patented two-stage
HEPASilent™ technology,
it captures 99.97% of the tiniest .1 micron particles on level one, including
allergy-provoking
pollen grains, dust mites, mold spores and pet dander particles.
Our efficient SurroundAir™ vent
system delivers exceptional air exchange (up to 500 cubic feet per minute)
without annoying drafts, performance that
earned the BlueAir 501 Best of Class ranking in independent AHAM testing of Clean
Air Delivery Rate.
Easy maintenance: simply open the unit`s lid, lift out and drop in filters
every 6 months.
Value-added
features include quiet operation, low energy use, steel construction and
easy maintenance: simply open the side, slide out used filters and drop
in replacements every 6 months.
Superior
Quality
Blueair
is designed, engineered and built for people who expect the very best and
don`t want to compromise on health, design or function. The Blueair system
housing
is made of galvanized Swedish steel, rather than less durable plastic. The
fan and blower are manufactured by EBM, a maker of telecom and medical equipment.
Blueair systems offer an exceptionally long product life and carry a 10-year
limited warranty.
Quiet
Cleans Air Quietly
Sophisticated
materials and precision engineering allow Blueair to clean indoor air without
the
noise associated with less advanced units. On the
lowest setting, the units emit no more sound than a desktop computer. To
achieve exceptionally quiet operation, Blueair`s patented HEPASilent™ filter
technology traps particles two ways: with mechanical and electrostatic filters.
This combination creates a filter system through which air flows freely.
Most air cleaners require a powerful, noisy fan to pull air through densely
packed filters. Since air passes easily through Blueair filter media, the
fan doesn`t have to work as hard or as loud. Even the housing is designed
with quiet operation in mind, replacing sound-sonant plastic with noise-muffling
steel.
Surround Air
Instead of discharging
a windy stream of filtered air, the Blueair 501 diffuses air gently through
an area six times greater than the average air cleaner.
Operating on its lowest setting, Blueair produces virtually no noticeable
draft, while still providing an exceptional air exchange rate. Blueair`s
SurroundAir™ system achieves peak performance without annoying drafts
by drawing in dirty air from the sides and bottom, moving it through a less
dense filter media, and releasing clean, filtered air from the sides and
top.
Energy Efficient
Low
energy cost
Blueair`s
phenomenally low power usage means you can run the system 24/7 without
a jump in electricity
consumption. In fact, it costs about the
same to clean the air in your home as it does to power a single lightbulb:
only 15 watts on low to 95 watts on high.
Environmentally
Aware
Blueair products offer exceptional performance without polluting the environment.
Blueair replaces standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibers,
which can harm the environment when released into the waste stream, with
safer, nontoxic polypropylene. This revolutionary filter media is one of
the least harmful plastics, producing only carbon dioxide and water as it
decomposes. Because polypropylene is waterproof, our filters naturally resist
contamination from bacteria, viruses and mold, without chemical additives
or washes. Blueair even uses a special powder coat finish that produces no
chemical outgassing.
Award
Winning Design
Award-winning
swedish design
The
union of visually pleasing form and effective function is a hallmark of
Swedish design, and
Blueair is no exception. Its sleek contemporary look
has earned Blueair one of the most prestigious design awards in Scandinavia,
the Excellent Swedish Design award. In fact, the Blueair resides in a permanent
exhibit at The National Museum in Stockholm. At Blueair, we design air purification
systems to meet your home`s aesthetic standards without sacrificing
performance.
Easy to Use
Easy
to use and maintain
Plug
it in, select the speed setting, and forget it. Blueair works so quietly,
at first you may
find yourself wondering if its turned on. Just check
the bright blue power on light. Blueair filters require no weekly additives
or filter washing. The grilles and powder-coated steel exterior are easy
to wipe clean, and won`t pick up grime and oily stains the way plastics can.
When the filter needs to be replaced (twice yearly), just open the lid, lift
out the old filters and drop the new ones in. No screws, hooks or tools and
less than one minute of your time are required. Used filters are 100% recyclable,
and release no toxins into landfills or the air.
