In the past, air around homes was clean; there were fewer pollutants and few allergies. Now, the days of clean fresh air naturally is slowly diminished. It is harder to find fresh air; so many people are turning to air purifiers. With the number of cars on the road today, there is more pollution from cars than ever before. The increase in cars alone has caused a huge increase in the amount of pollution in the air that must be filtered.
Homes today are filled with chemicals for cleaning, as well as fragrances, to help homes smell better that all cause problems for those who have allergies and must use medications to help them breathe. Advances in technology are wonderful, but at the risk to the health of others, those advances are not so good. People with asthma are also suffering, as the pollutants have risen steadily.
Aside from the Honeywell air purifiers, most of the best air cleansers contain HEPA filters that are the best filters currently made. HEPA filters are able to remove 99.7% of the airborne particles so make the air quality much better. The HEPA filters are able to remove particles as small as 0.3 micrometers, which is the most penetrating size of particle there is.
The HEPA filter is made from fibers matted together and are arranged in a random fashion to help trap the majority of particles. The HEPA filter was first designed in the 1940s. The filters were also used as part of the Manhattan Project; the purpose of the project was to trap the airborne radioactive particles. For a filter to be a HEPA filter, it must pass standards set forth by the Department of Energy to ensure that all HEPA filters are high quality and remove as many particles as possible.
When using the Honeywell air purifier, it is recommended to use a HEPA filter so that as many pollutants as possible can be removed from your home. Using this method, it is possible to clean up the air so that pollutants such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide are no longer left in the air even when living with a cigarette smoker.
While there are several options to clean up the air in your home, very few are as simple to use, and inexpensive in the long haul as the Honeywell air purifier. Another problem many homes have is the existence of dust mites. The Honeywell air purifier is also able to reduce the amount of dust mites in the home, and ease allergies caused by them as well.
Honeywell Air Purifier Hepa Filter
Compatible with Honeywell 10500 and 17000 air cleaners, the Honeywell True HEPA filter is up to 99.97 percent effective at removing particles as small as .3 microns from the air. True HEPA filters collect such annoyances as dust, mold spores, mites, pet dander, and other troublesome allergens. The difference between a HEPA filter and an ionizer is that the former collects and removes the harmful particles from the air, whereas the latter merely displaces it and pushes it around the room. Overall particle reduction depends on many factors, including the amount of air processed, the pollutant type, and the pollutant’s introduction rate in the environment.

 Time to Change the HEPA Filter on Your Air Cleaner?
By Michela
Before ordering a replacement HEPA filter for your Honeywell (or other brand) Air Cleaner, be sure to check the model number on the unit. This filter is for the smaller round unit (Model 10500) and for the smaller of the two upright units with handles (Model 17000). I replace my HEPA filter every year because I am very allergic to cigarette smoke, pollens, dust, molds, and other allergens and irritants. Also, this HEPA filter has pre-filters that wrap around it, so you may want to order a box of those, too. The pre-filters should be changed every 3 months, but I check them more often and vacuum off any accumulated pet hair.

just as good as any other HEPA filter
By Haseeb
HEPA filters were developed by the US Atomic energy commision to remove radio active particles from a contaminated environment. So they are more than sufficient for removing dust, mold spores, cockroach feces and dust mites which have been known to cause respiratory problems such as asthma.
Don’t go by the light on the your Honeywell unit to tell when it’s time to change the filter because the manufacturer wants you to change it as frequently as possible. When you find that the flow of air has slowed down and dust in the vicinity of the unit tends to collect more, then it’s time to change the air filter. Also, vacuuming the outside of the filter may prolong the life. I vacuumed my HEPA and found that there was an increase in air flow afterwards and less dust collecting around the unit.

 NOT a Honeywell product. Doesn’t quite fit
By MSG Quixo
It was not clear from this listing that this is NOT a Honeywell product — though it says it is next to the name at the top of the page. When I opened it, it was immediately evident that it is not the same as the filter that came with my product and is of inferior quality. And worst of all, it does not quite fit correctly. I was able to get the door into place on the unit, but it does not quite close all the way. Very disappointed with the deception and the product.
