● The air purifier was making a “cracking” sound and now it doesn’t seem
to be cleaning the air any more. Is it broken?
- No. The air purifier needs to be cleaned. When too much dirt
accumulates on both the collector and electrostatic wire, the power to
the collector rod turns-off, but the fan will continue to run. Clean the unit
and it should then operate normally. See CLEANING THE
COLLECTOR ROD and CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.
● Why is there no dust visible on the collector rods?
- The area that the purifier can treat by pulling in particles from the air is
limited due to the unit size. However, the area that it can affect with its
ozone is much larger. Please note that for dust removal there are 2
methods that are recommended. Method 1 is to use ion generation to
attach the ions to the dust particles and have them fall to the floor or
surface, which is why you will see more dust on surfaces and around
the unit when using this method. Method 2 is to place the unit directly in
the area where you are experiencing dust if you want the unit to directly
collect as much dust as possible in the area because the only way to
pull in airborne dust is for the unit to directly operate in the area.
Unfortunately, the only way to collect dust on the collector rods in larger
areas without moving the unit is similar to how central air conditioning
works, which requires large outdoor fans and return air systems. The
fan would have to be large and powerful enough to accomplish this,
which just isn't possible to accomplish in a portable air purifier without
moving the unit. This is why many units offer Method 1 of ion generation
to pull the dust out of the air and attach it to the floor or surfaces, so that
the dust is not airborne and being breathed in for the dust that cannot
be pulled into the unit by the purifier fan. The neutralized dust that
attaches to surfaces should then be periodically removed via routine
home cleaning.
