How Austin Air Differs from Other Purifiers
That's Handcrafted in America!
Testing
The Medical Grade HEPA used in all Austin Air filters has been independently certified to remove 99.97% of particles. Product tests on flow and vapor, gas, and sub-micron particle removal have been performed by Battelle Laboratories, one of the world’s most respected testing laboratories for the Army Corp of Engineers at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center.
Clinical Trials
Austin Air is the only air cleaner company to partner with research organizations to conduct clinical trials on our products. We’ve worked with organizations such as Johns Hopkins University, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, the University of Washington, and Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.
Filter Specifications
An extensive review by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), compared all available air cleaning technologies. The organization determined the most-effective air purifiers are those that use a combination of both HEPA and Carbon. Austin Air uses up to 15lbs of carbon and 60 sq ft of HEPA in its filters – more than anyone in the industry.
Nontoxic Materials
Austin Air Systems builds its machines with solid steel and nontoxic powder-coated paint, whereas nearly all other air purifiers on the market build their machines with a plastic frame, and they are painted. This often puts more harmful contaminants into the air. What’s more, the Austin purifiers do not produce off-gassing or harmful ozone.
