Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In addition, the SensorPod of the Z-2500 and Z-3500 has an all new design and features additional sensing capabilities. It can measure three sizes of particulate matter (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10) as well as VOCs, and calculates the overall air quality using a proprietary algorithm that is reactive to genuine increases in pollutants without overreacting to someone entering the room or settling into the couch.

TruSens Air Purifiers have been developed to reduce allergens present in the air. The 360-degree DuPont™ filter allows air to be pulled in and filtered from all directions. TruSens proprietary PureDirect airflow distributes cleaner air efficiently throughout a room.

TruSens Air Purifiers make use of a combination of filters to remove smoke pollutants from the air. The active carbon filter reduces odorous gases caused by smoke, while the TruSens prefilter and HEPA filter capture smoke particles flowing through the TruSens air purifier

TruSens Air Purifiers make use of an active carbon filter to reduce the presence of odors from the air, including kitchen/cooking odors. For optimal results, the carbon filter should be replaced approximately every 3-4 months.

TruSens Air Purifiers include a UV-C type ultraviolet light to reduce the growth of microbes trapped in the filter. The UV-C bulb has a peak output of 254 nanometers. All units (Z-1000, Z-2000 and Z-2500, and Z-3000 and Z-3500) allow you to control if/when you want to run UV.

TruSens Air Purifiers with DuPont™ filtration remove allergens and particulates in the air. The prefilter will capture the largest of particles (such as hair and dust), while smaller particles will be trapped by the HEPA filter. 360-degree filtration allows air to be pulled in from all directions, filtering dust and other pollutants.

TruSens Air Purifiers have been developed and tested to reduce allergens present in indoor air. Reducing allergens in the air may help those with sensitivities, but a medical professional should be consulted to determine how to best alleviate asthmatic symptoms.

For Standard HEPA filters only. Testing performed in accordance with ANSI/AHAM AC-1-2015.

The Allergy & Flu filter is a Filter with True HEPA that captures 99% of airborne allergens and viruses.

The Pet filter captures up to 99.97% of pet dander, and helps eliminate common pet odors.

The Odor & VOC Filter with True HEPA helps removes common cooking and cleaning odors, and reduces VOCs.

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compound. They are emitted as gasses from certain solids or liquids.

The Allergy & Flu filter is a Filter with True HEPA that captures 99% of airborne allergens and viruses.

No, the room coverage values will be the same as stated on our website. The Specialty Filters were developed to enhance performance for your specific needs related to pets, allergies, and odors in your home.

As the filters do their job to capture airborne particles and pollutants, it loses its ability to absorb more and eventually becomes ineffective. It is important to replace the filters in your air purifier regularly to ensure maximum effectiveness.
