Winix PlasmaWave Technology

As the filtered air exits the air purifier, it passes through a corona discharge which is a type of electrical pulse. Both positive and negative ions are created in this process and as a result the plasma combines with water vapour in the air to form hydroxyl radicals. The Hydroxyl radicals attack pollutants including bacteria, viruses, germs, odors, chemical gases etc. These pollutants are later destroyed in the process while the hydroxyls radicals convert into water vapour or other air molecules that aren’t harmful. This process is similar to the process that takes place in the upper levels of the Earth’s atomosphere. Thus the PlasmaWave™ technology tries to emulate the nature’s process of air purification. The PlasmaWave technology is thus designed to disintegrate odors, allergens, chemical vapors as well as other pollutants at the molecular level while preventing the production of any harmful by products such as ozone.

Winix Air Cleaner: Changing filters

The HEPA filter should last one year. The carbon filters last about three months depending on the usage. So changing the HEPA filters depends on your environment as well as the use. Make sure to check the filters from time to time to see if they are dirty. If you only use the air purifier at certain times in a day, it could even last you a year. If you use it more often, it could last you for about 4 months.

All in all, if you are looking for a reliable Air purifier that removes all the harmful air particles including allergens, bacteria, chemicals as well as other gases, the Winix 5300 air cleaner would be the best choice for your home.
