If you have a safe room, or shelter in your home or office for natural disaster or intruders, air quality is a top consideration while you wait for help. Using an air purifier in a safe room gives you more chance of surviving the crisis, whatever the cause. Here are 4 best features to consider when equipping your safe room with an air purifier.
1. Low Noise Level
If your safe room is one that is designed to be used in case of intruders, you want an air purifier that is efficient, but that is whisper quiet. Check the decibel levels of your air purifier to make sure it can run effectively, but quietly enough not to attract attention or give away your location.
2. Low Energy Use
Depending on the crisis, it may take a while for help to reach you. If your room is powered by generator, or battery, choosing an air purifier that is an energy miser is an essential feature to have. This means the purifier is able to operate for longer using less power, giving you maximum time for help to reach you. An air purifier with the Energy Star seal is a good choice.
3. 24 Hour Coverage
Since you never know when disaster might strike, choose an air purifier that can run 24 hours every day. This means your safe room stays ready with fresh clean air so that if you need to use the room the air quality is high when you enter, and stays high for as long as you need it to.
4. Can Filter a Variety of Pollutants
Choose an air purifier that can filter a variety of pollutants from the air-smoke, chemicals, dust, bacteria, viruses; and one that can filter pollutants as small as .1 microns.
Using an air purifier with these 4 features will give you and your family the greatest chance of surviving a crisis in your safe room should the need ever arise. The old adage comes to mind--better safe than sorry.
