    I have SO MUCH dust in the air in my apartment I've never seen anything like it. And yes they regularly replace the AC filter every 3 months. I use an air purifier every night just for the white noise alone, but I'm not sure it's helped with dust. I'm starting to take it into my living room during the day where the problem is, just to to try and address this. But I've had bad allergies for the past 3 weeks now. I wonder if its the dust or something.

      If you have any drafts or people leaving Windows open more dust will just get cycled into the room.
      It can still help keep the particle concentration lower than it would normally be, but you may not really get the house as clean as possible until you make sure the doors and windows seals are effective and well installed.

    I am writing to you just to talk about the filters order and their lifespan. My background is chemical engineering just to mention. The most correct way to place filters is mesh, hepa and then carbon. Why's that? Activated carbon's surface area will more drastically decrease with dust than the hepa and gases will not stick. So proper way is to filter all particles and then pass the gases through the carbon. I don't know if this is counter intuitive. Another more interesting issue is the prefilter. Fine mesh vs more coarse like levoit's. Fine mesh filters are used to protect equipment like the fine mesh filters found in dryers. Also both have the same performance if equipment protection is not vital. Why? Because the mesh doesn't do the actual filtration! The mesh is there to build dust layers and these exact layers are the filter which makes it efficient. That's filtration 101 btw. So another thing is mesh filter cleaning. HEPA will clog faster if the mesh filter is regularly cleaned since it will not filter as efficiently.

    Have used different air purifiers for the last 20 years and they do get better and better. Have you once had a fully working one at home you most probebly know the difference in how the air was before and after the use on a air purifier. Some use to neglect clean air at home for some strange reason or they dont believe in these systems. Both have sadly wrong when its most probably one of the better technologies you could get these days with one single purpose ... To let you have clean air at home and thats for sure not a bad thing.

      Indeed, air purifiers have come a long way in terms of technology and effectiveness. Many people who have experienced the difference in air quality before and after using an air purifier can attest to the benefits they provide. Clean indoor air is crucial for overall health, especially for those with allergies or respiratory conditions. While some may be skeptical or neglect the importance of air purifiers, they can play a significant role in removing allergens, pollutants, and contaminants from the air, contributing to a healthier living environment. As technology continues to advance, air purifiers are becoming more efficient and accessible, making them a valuable addition to many households for the purpose of ensuring cleaner and fresher indoor air.

      Unfortunately, people are ignorant of cleaning because of the ignorance that Europe and America have spread throughout the world. They have put the world in such a state of chaos and crisis that poor peoples have forgotten how to clean themselves or poor peoples because they only focus on food, water and basics. Their life is difficult, and it is not like the life of a European or American person who lives in wealth. The obscene and everything is available to him.. and a mind empty of crises..

      The American and European man is more (spiteful) to the extent that he destroys and pollutes the countries of the afterlife and the American does not care about the peoples of the afterlife, he only thinks about how to protect his home and himself. For an American who does not care about the health of the earth or other people in the hereafter, what matters to himself....
      I hope that America will create a device that reduces the evil that is in your hearts.

    😢I live in the African desert. In recent years, with the increase in factories and population density, the condition of the local community has deteriorated. Respiratory diseases and allergies of all kinds have spread, and in the absence of a culture of afforestation, cleanliness, or nature centers, this region has been destroyed. Here are people who do not know anything about dust or viruses. They just live in ignorance and die. They get sick and do not know the cause of the curse.🤦🏼‍♂️
    Desert dust may contain a variety of harmful substances and chemical pollutants, and these components can vary depending on the geographic region and surrounding environmental effects. However, there are some common components that may be present in desert dust, including:😢
    1. Heavy metals: Desert dust may contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, chromium, and aluminum. These metals can be toxic and pose a risk to public health when inhaled or ingested through dust.😢
    2. Organic pollutants: Desert dust can contain organic pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are emitted from various sources like industries, vehicles, and agricultural crops.😢
    3. Bacteria and fungi: Desert dust may carry airborne bacteria and fungi, which can be pathogenic when inhaled.😢
    4. Attached organic pollutants: Organic pollutants such as pesticides and persistent organic pollutants can be absorbed onto desert dust particles, increasing individuals' exposure to these harmful chemicals.
    Remember that desert dust may also carry biological materials such as plant pollens, grains, and other organic substances that can cause allergies in susceptible individuals.
    To reduce exposure to harmful substances in desert dust, it is advised to follow health safety guidelines such as using protective masks, cleaning exposed surfaces, ventilating enclosed spaces, and other appropriate preventive measures.😢

    I just bought a winix air purifier from costco and Im not noticing ang difference in the dust in my house. I followed the instructions exactly the way they were describing (it was literally just inserting the filter) but the only thing it seems to be doing is blowing air from the top which just spreads the dust around if anything. Is this normal??

      @nickyyy6697 It sounds like the air purifier might not be functioning as effectively as expected. Make sure the filter is properly installed, and consider the room size versus the purifier's capacity. Sometimes, it takes a bit of time to notice a difference in dust levels. If it still doesn't improve, you might want to check for any obstructions or contact Winix customer support.
