BLUEAIR 403 / BLUEAIR 450E - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Both the Blueair 403 HEPASilent air purifier, and the more advanced Blueair 450E HEPASilent digital model, are engineered to not only be effective at removing airborne pollutants such as dust, pollen and mould spores, but to be quiet, energy efficient and stylish at the same time. Using revolutionary technology, Blueair 403 and 450E air purifiers are capable of capturing particles three times smaller than traditional HEPA filters can, providing improved filtration of hazardous, lung-penetrating particles such as ultra-fine dust, combustion particles, fine ash and even airborne bacteria.

Exclusive to Blueair air purifiers, HEPASilent technology combines mechanical filtration and electrostatic principles to achieve outstanding air cleaning that outperforms medical-grade HEPA filters alone. As room air is drawn into the air purifier by an ultra-quiet fan, an internal ionizer exerts a negative charge over the incoming particles, ensuring that they adhere effortlessly to the positively-charged filter material. By using a three-stage filter with progressively smaller pores, Blueair HEPASilent air purifiers are able to achieve remarkable air cleaning results, capturing an impressive 99.97% of particles down to 0.1 microns.

Low-density filters, noise-muffling galvanized steel and precision Swedish engineering allow Blueair HEPASilent air purifiers to clean the air more quietly than any other brand of air purifier on the market. On the two lowest fan speed settings, the Blueair 403 HEPASilent and Blueair 450E HEPASilent air purifiers offer whisper-silent operation with sound levels so low that you may wonder if your Blueair unit is actually on. Energy Star rated, both the Blueair 403 and Blueair 450E use significantly less power than other units on the market.

Unlike standard electrostatic air cleaners, Blueair 403 HEPASilent and Blueair 450E HEPASilent air purifiers are perfectly safe for asthma and allergy sufferers because they release absolutely no ozone or ozone by-products into the air. In fact, laboratory tests show that Blueair HEPASilent air purifiers will significantly reduce ozone concentrations in rooms where electronic devices (e.g., computers, printers, televisions) are operated.

Instead of the standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibres, Blueair filters are constructed from non-toxic polypropylene. One of the least harmful plastics for both humans and the environment, polypropylene works without out-gassing or releasing irritating microscopic fibres into the air. Because the filters are also waterproof, they naturally resist contamination from bacteria, viruses, and mould without chemical additives or washes. Although Blueair 403 HEPASilent and Blueair 450E HEPASilent air purifiers are generally purchased for particle control, a thin layer of activated carbon is also incorporated into the filters to provide some protection from chemicals, gases and odours.

For those who want improved handling of chemical fumes, toxic gases and unpleasant odours, both the Blueair 403 and Blueair 450E can be equipped with optional SmokeStop filters (instead of the standard HEPASilent filters). Featuring 3 lbs. of granular activated carbon, blended with potassium iodide, phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide, Blueair 403 SmokeStop and Blueair 450E SmokeStop air purifiers provide better adsorption of tobacco smoke and other gas phase pollutants, while offering the same exceptional particle filtration as the HEPASilent filters do.

To maintain optimal air cleaning performance and ensure warranty coverage, the filters in Blueair 403 and Blueair 450E air purifiers (both HEPASilent and SmokeStop models) must be replaced every 6 months. The convenient magnetic filter replacement indicator supplied with Blueair 403 models, and the built-in LCD display on Blueair 450E models, will remind owners when it's time to change the filter. The filter itself can be replaced in about 30 seconds. Just open the door of the air purifier, remove the old filter, slide the new one in, and close the door. Fast and simple!

Blueair 450E air purifiers are the same as the Blueair 403 models in all respects, except that they have LCD displays and state-of-the-art electronic controls. Independent dust and odour sensors control the Blueair 450E air purifier in Auto Mode, adjusting fan speeds to automatically handle detected particulates, chemicals and odours in the air. ‘E’ models are also supplied with a wireless remote control unit for timer functions and manual adjustment of air flow rates from up to 20 feet away.

Built for years of reliability, the Blueair 403 and Blueair 450E air purifiers have all-steel housings that are powder-coated for endurance and protection, without any chemical off-gassing. In addition to their zero ozone emission, all Blueair air purifiers are constructed from environmentally friendly parts and recyclable materials. When discarded, the filters decompose and the filter media converts into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

The sleek design and quiet operation of the Blueair 403 and Blueair 450E air purifiers make them perfect for many different parts of the house, including medium sized bedrooms, sitting rooms, playrooms, laundry rooms, workshops and small offices. Both the Blueair 403 and 450E have built-in hand grips on either side of the unit for easier maneuverability, and are a neutral off-white and dark grey colour to blend into almost any décor.

** An Important Word on Air Flow Rates and Room Coverage for the Blueair 403 and Blueair 450E Air Purifiers:

Many retailers and manufacturers overstate maximum room coverage figures by calculating them with air flow rates measured without filters installed (i.e., fan output) or with too low a number of air exchanges per hour to properly clean the room. Modern Alchemy Air Purifiers believes in stating the actual delivered air flow rates for the air purifiers we sell, as well as realistic room coverage figures calculated at effective air cleaning levels. Accordingly, we recommend that the Blueair 403 and Blueair 450E be used in rooms of up to 225 sq. ft. (for premium cleaning) or 450 sq. ft. (for general purpose filtration).

Also note that air purifier performance should not be judged by air flow rates and room maximums alone. Many features that make an air purifier more effective at cleaning the air actually reduce the air flow rate. For example, higher grade HEPA filters, well-sealed filtration systems and large amounts of carbon all increase air resistance and reduce delivered air flow rates.
