Choosing an air scrubber can be confusing with the proliferation of air filtration units, many of which are made overseas. With many so many models to choose from, how do you know which air scrubber is right for your business?

Choose a brand you can trust - For 20 years Dri-Eaz^® HEPA air scrubbers have protected people in homes, businesses, schools and hospitals from harmful mold, dust, smoke and other particulates.  

Find out if the air scrubber passes DOP tests – Most manufacturers claim their units remove 99.97% of particulates down to .3 microns, but DOP test compliance is proof positive that an air scrubber is truly filtering out harmful particulates. The Dri-Eaz HEPA 700 passes DOP tests with the unit’s standard filters.

Why DOP compliance? It can mean faster clearance on restoration jobs involving an industrial hygienist. And faster clearance means faster completion – and getting paid faster!

Check its ease of containment setup – Restorers often need to contain areas contaminated with mold, sewage, soot or other potentially harmful particulates, so variable speed is a must, and so is easy attachment of inlet or outlet ducting. Layflat attaches quickly to the HEPA 700 outlet using the built-in duct ring, and 14-in. semi-rigid ducting attaches easily to the inlet or outlet.

Know where units are manufactured and who supports them – Buying cheap units made overseas could leave you stranded when you need filters or have problems. We engineer, mold and assemble our air scrubbers in the Legend Brands plant in Burlington, WA, and Dri-Eaz technical experts are readily available by live chat, toll-free phone and email.

Beyond manufacturer support, Dri-Eaz products are supported by the industry’s most extensive network of distributors and service centers in the U.S. and Canada. Contact your distributor – check “How to Buy” on LegendBrands.com.

Make sure filters are specifically designed to optimize the unit’s filtration – Filters play a critical role in the HEPA filtration system. Off-the-shelf filters can’t ensure maximum filtration performance, so Legend Brands engaged filtration experts to design proprietary filters for the HEPA 700:

• Prefilters – While easily dismissed as “throwaways” that just keep the primary HEPA filter from loading too fast, not all prefilters are alike. HEPA 700 prefilters were specially engineered to ensure optimal airflow.
• Primary HEPA Filter – Advances in synthetic media technology have produced the best performing and the most durable HEPA Filters, offering better airflow (less pressure drop) than fiberglass media, plus less chance of damage during transport or installation. That’s why a synthetic primary filter was the clear choice for the HEPA 700.
• Activated Carbon Filters – Optional on some projects yet often needed to remove smoke, odors and fumes, carbon filters’ performance is all about the density and surface area of the filter’s charcoal pellets. Our engineers worked with filtration experts to ensure the fastest and best odor and smoke elimination.
