How it Works:
Air Purifier Colors White Black Sandstone
Air Filtration Stages:
STAGE 1: Spun polyester pre filter is impregnated with carbon to absorb odors, pet allergies and dander, hair and particulates as small as 10 microns.
STAGE 2: Carbon media (15 lbs.) absorb odors, chemicals and gases
STAGE 3: Particle removal - True HEPA (99.97%) reduces of pollen, pet dander, dust mites, molds and particulates down to 0.3 microns in size. Also, this stage significantly reduces aerosols and cigarette smoke.
STAGE 4: Ultraviolet (UV) lamps (in certain models) emit 13,000 micro watts per second of kill power to safely protect you against airborne infectious disease. UV effectively kills microorganisms that cause salmonella, hepatitis, tuberculosis, Legionnaire's Disease, or influenza. In the UV equipped models, the UV light shines directly on the hepa filter to prevent bacteria and germs from growing.
STAGE 5 (in UV systems) or STAGE 4 (in non UV systems) Carbon Post Filter: for final absorption so contaminants don't spill out into the air.

Reports by Experts and Customers - NQ Clarifier Air Purifiers
Expert Review:
Courtesy of AllergyBuyersClub.com
The NQ Clarifier air purifier is on the high end of residential HEPA based air filters and was developed for its company president who was a severe asthmatic and could not find an air purifier to control her asthma adequately. The NQ Clarifier is a modified version of an air filter used in a hospital environment. The question that most people have is it what makes it worth the extra money?
Pluses:
True Air Changes: The NQ Clarifier air purifier is one of the few HEPA air purifiers which accurately states its actual number of air changes per hour. Most manufacturers overstate the CFM rating of their fans by stating the fan capacity unencumbered by having to push the air through several levels of filters. One of the major pluses of this air filter is even on low fan speed it has an adequate number of air changes for any allergy and asthma sufferer. This becomes especially important, as most people prefer to run an air filter at low fan speed to control noise levels especially at night.
Multiple Level Filtration: The NQ Clarifier air filtration system has a pre-filter, a post filter and a 15 lb. carbon filter as well as a HEPA filter. The existence of a pre-filter extends the life of the HEPA filter, and since the HEPA filter is the most expensive component of any machine, filter replacement cost is a hidden but important factor. Properly maintained the NQ Clarifier HEPA air purifier will last you for years.
Ultraviolet Filtration: Some models of the NQ Clarifier air purifiers have the additional benefit of ultra violet. Ultraviolet has been documented in independent University studies as having bacteria, virus, mold and allergen killing properties. The standard germicidal dosage of the NQ Clarifier UV equipped models can inactivate or kill bacterial and viral microorganisms such as smallpox, salmonella, hepatitis, influenza, TB and Legionnaire's Disease as well as other contaminants.
Filter Change Indicator Lights: The NQ Clarifier air purifier will tell you when to change filters. Many units on the market do not do this. We think this feature is a "must" that you should look for if you have medium to serious allergies. Who wants to change a filter ahead of time, but on the other hand who wants to wait until as one manufacturer said to us the "air smells bad" and you are feeling sick because of it? Please note: On the non UV units- there are no change filter indicator lights.
Portability: The NQ Clarifier air purifier has casters and can be easily moved around.
Documentation: There is a "real manual" with this air purifier put out by a company who seem to genuinely be concerned that their customers use their air filters to best advantage.
Energy Efficient: Some air cleaners including some Honeywell models can add significantly to your monthly energy bill. The NQ Clarifier air filter is very economical in terms of energy consumption making it one of the most energy efficient machines we have tested.
Minuses:
Filter Change: To change the filters you have to use a screwdriver , for some people this is an inconvenience. The manual tells you clearly how to change the hepa filter so it is not difficult, but it is more time consuming than some other air filters which do not need a screwdriver.
Noise: The NQ Clarifier air purifier is not the quietest air purifier we carry. That honor belongs to Blueair which is not a multistage filtration system. If you don't mind some white noise in the background when you sleep and need superior cleaning power, this machine might be for you. In an office area or family room environment this machine will be fine.
Style: The NQ Clarifier air purifier does not win any beauty contest. The styling is a bit boxy. We regard this as a minor complaint given the need for clean air.
Summary:
NQ Clarifier air purifiers offer a unique design with multiple combination of filters. When these filters work together, they powerfully remove air pollutants that would normally trigger asthma and allergies. We sell 3 different models with and without ultraviolet light. See our chart NQ Clarifier Air Purifiers - Compared to find which model best matches your need. They can be used in any room of the home or office or in your small business. We also recommend the ultraviolet equipped versions of this machine for basement use to collect dust and kill mold spores.
Give us a call if you still need help making a decision. We tested these machines and while they are not the most stylish they work well! You will feel better breathing cleaner air and knowing that your environment is constantly being protected from bacteria, viruses and molds as well as from particulates, gases and carcinogenic chemicals. These are serious machines for serious protection. The extra money that these air filters cost are worth it in our book.
