More Hospital Hospitality Homes Install Purifans - Click Here for More Info
There are hundreds of Hospital Hospitality Homes in operation near major medical facilities. They provide a home away from home for those families who are staying near the hospital for extended treatments. One of the risks these patients face is catching a cold, flu or pneumonia and spreading it to other guests in the facility. Since many of these guests are elderly and frail, or young children, it can impact their immediate health and their ability to continue their treatment program. Filtering the air in bedrooms and common rooms can reduce issues with allergies, Asthma and other common respiratory issues. The CDC states filtering the air more than 12 air changes per hour can reduce the airborne spread of contagious illnesses like flu and pneumonia. Purifans typically provide 40 air changes per hour when operated properly. Follow the link above for more information and testimonials from Executive Directors who are responsible for providing a healthy indoor environment for these families during this critical time.

That is why we started the Purifan Clean Air for Kids Fund Raising Program. The CAFK Program has a goal of raising $30 million dollars over the next five years to help schools install more Purifans. We typically apply for grants at the state and federal level on behalf of schools who have registered for our help. We are also working on large foundation proposals to aggragate the need from many schools and send this funding request to larger national and local charitable foundations, potential corporate sponsors and even local family foundations to help schools find a variety of sources of funding to help pay for installing these filtration systems in more classrooms. Watch this video about Purifans in schools.
We typically ask for enough money to pay for the Purifans, delivery, installation and five years of filter changes. We create a custom payback and benefit analysis for every school that signs-up. This report typically shows Purifans offer a payback of about 25 times the cost in the first five years. After that initial purchase cost, the annual financial benefits and payback goes up to even higher multiples because the only annual operating cost is for filter changes. To find out more about this program and register your school click here. The money we raise will go to the schools who signed up first, so the sooner you get your school signed up, the better chance you have, and sooner you are likely to receive funding help from the Purifan Clean Air for Kids Fundraising Program.

The article highlights how more school districts are being sued by parents and teachers over air quality issues and 
health risks associated with these problems. You can check your school's ranking by clicking on the picture to the right and entering your zip code. This is a tremendous series that explains why what we breathe is so important to our health. At Purifan we believe it makes a lot of sense to spend a little money on prevention and solutions, because we are already spending a fortune on health issues these air quality problems create.
Asthma is the number one chronic illness for children and is costing families and insurance providers billions each year. Medicaid typically spent over $2,000 per year per child in 2006, and allergies and asthma are a key driver of this growing cost. Asthma inhalers are the number one children's prescription in all 50 states. If people want to lower health care expenses, starting with classroom air filtration systems from Purifan may offer a payback that is many times the cost. The first five year cost of installing and operating Purifans is only about $30 per year per student.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was amended in 2009 to classify allergies, Asthma and diabetes as disabilities requiring schools to provide accommodations to help students who suffer from these issues. Even if the condition is manageable with medicines and inhalers, the condition still qualifies as a disability and infers the school or employer should solve the indoor air quality problems that is causing the allergies or Asthma so the person can avoid the need for medications and inhalers.
The best way to reduce a child's issues with allergies and Asthma is to reduce or avoid the triggers. Triggers like mold, pollen, chemical toxins and odors come into the classroom every day from the particulates that arrive on the students hair, clothes, skin and shoes, they come from vehicle traffic exhausts, they come from upwind industrial plants and they are in the outside air on dry, windy days from plants, animals, wildfires, construction and agricultural activities.
School boards face new liabilities and responsibilities because of these law changes. Purifans filter the classroom air up to 40 times per hour, reducing harmful allergy triggers, toxins and odors. Some schools reported a 70% drop in inhaler use and a 61% drop in student sick days. According to CDC recommendations, filtering the air in a room with more than 12 air changes per hour can help reduce the spread of contagious illnesses like colds and flu that can be spread by particle droplet transmission.

Purifans are the World's Best Air Cleaner Design for Some Very Simple Reasons.
Air Changes per Hour - A Purifan cleans more air per minute and produces more room air changes per hour. This is the single most important reason a Purifan can handle the toughest commercial applications and make a significant reduction in particle levels. It typically produces 40 air changes per hour in a 400 square foot room. These air changes per hour rates are 10 times greater than noisy floor models, and filtering the air more than 40 air changes per hour will have a significant impact on allergies, asthma and the spread of contagious illnesses.
Lowest Cost per CFM of Filtered Air - Like all product purchases, the total cost of ownership and operation should be carefully considered when purchasing an air purifier. The total cost of any air cleaner includes all of the following items:
-
The initial purchase price ($390 for the Purifan)
-
The annual cost of filters ($42.50 + $5 S&H = $47.50)
-
A value for your personal time required to clean the unit during the year. (20 minutes/year)
-
The electricity used to operate the air purifier (.5 amps or 60 watts = $17 per year)
-
The expected life and the products warranty period (Lifetime warranty on Purifan)
The real reason you purchase an air purifier is to obtain a continuing volume of clean filtered air, usually measured in CFM. So the amount of filtered air per minute of operation is a key reason to choose an air purifier. The Purifan typically delivers about 2,200 CFM. You can compare units by taking their total ownership costs and dividing it by the cubic feet per minute or cubic feet per hour. For Purifan it is about 20 cents/cubic foot per minute. If you amortize the purchase price over the expected life of the Purifan the actual cost is much, much lower. Compare that to ionic or motorized models with a typical life of 2 or 3 years, and you will see that most only deliver 100 to 400 CFM, and some require almost weekly cleaning. Many are too noisy to operate on high, so running on low or quiet speeds, these air purifiers have an even higher cost per CFM of filtered air. For most floor and shelf models the cost per CFM of filtered air is 20 times the cost of using a Purifan. Based on medical research studies, if you really want allergy symptom improvement, buying a floor or shelf model air purifier that cannot quietly deliver at least 10 or 12 room air changes per hour is probably a total waste of money. Purifan delivers 40 air changes per hour in a 20 x 20 foot room at a per CFM cost that is 95% lower than floor and shelf models.
Ideal Overhead Ceiling Location - A Purifan is in the ideal location, the middle of the room, on the ceiling, and distributes clean filtered air in all 360 degrees to clean the entire room.
Ideal Airflow Pattern to Move Dirty Air to the Filters - The airflow pattern and velocity created by the Purifan moves the dirty air particles in the room to the suction area so they can be captured before they settle to the floor.
Quiet - Purifan is very quiet. Most floor and shelf models are too noisy on high-speed to use in a bedroom, office, school, hotel room, daycare or business. If you want 2,000 CFM of clean air you will need 10 floor models running on high-speed, or 50 floor models running on quiet, low-speed mode!
Powerful Odor Control is Important - Purifan filters have more activated charcoal for capturing odors and harmful VOC gasses. Many air quality issues involve odors. People feel better, perform better and stay healthier when the room air is filtered 40 times per hour to remove particulates and odors.
Energy-Efficient - Only 60 watts, the same as the ceiling fan you were using before.
Saves on Heating and Cooling Costs - Purifan works with your heating and cooling system and creates the energy-saving air movement of a ceiling fan eliminating hot and cold spots in the room year around.
Lowest Cost Air Purifier Solution - Purifans are also the lowest cost room air filtration system to purchase and operate when you consider initial purchase costs, lifetime warranty, filter costs and energy costs. The cost per CFM of filtered air is 90% lower than most floor and shelf models.
HEPA and Activated Charcoal Filters - A Purifan uses a low-cost, five-stage filter that uses safe paper media particle filters to capture particles and activated charcoal to remove odors. Purifans don't create any dangerous ions or ozone. Most Purifan dealers give $25 credit to customers for each Purifan they help sell to a friend, neighbor or relative, which means many customer get free filters for life by just telling others about how much they love their Purifan. Purifan offers multiple filter types to fit customer needs.
Low-Cost Disposable Filters - Filters are disposable, so there is no nasty cleaning or washing that takes precious time from your busy life. The filters last a long time, are easy to replace. Filters are changed every 9 to 12 months in most homes, twice per year in a classroom, and three or four times per year in offices, daycares, nursing homes, fitness and businesses depending on the dust and odor issues. In smoking applications filters are changed based on the severity of smoking.
Works in Any Room or Building Type - The Purifan works in any room or building, no matter what type of heating and air-conditioning system is being used. Purifans can be easily moved to a new home, business location, office or school building.
Lifetime Warranty - Purifan has a lifetime warranty - unheard of in air cleaners.
These are the reasons it is the Ideal Indoor Air Quality Solution for Homes, Offices, Schools, Fitness Clubs, Day-Care Facilities, Businesses, Nursing Homes and Smoking Sections. If you want cleaner healthier air, you should order a Purifan today.
