| Which IQAir Model is Right for You? |
|
IQAir makes several models for home and office use. There are some for particulate filtration only and some with both particulate and gas phase filtration for removal of odors and gaseous contaminants. IQAir offers unparalleled performance for those who desire the best air cleaner available.

IQAir HealthPro and HealthPro Compact: For Allergy Sufferers The HealthPro and HealthPro Compact are recommended for allergy sufferers who do not have any particular need for gas or odor control. Instead of an activated carbon filter the HealthPro features a pressure equalization chamber between the fan and HEPA filter to maximize air delivery. It is also more economical since there is no activated carbon filter to replace.
Note: The HealthPro can be upgraded to the HealthPro Plus if needs change; the HealthPro Compact, however, can not be upgraded.
IQAir HealthPro Plus: For Allergy or Asthma Sufferers In addition to the filtration provided by the standard HealthPro and HealthPro Compact models, the HealthPro Plus contains a V5-Cell gas phase filter for the control of gaseous contaminants and odors. The HealthPro Plus is especially recommended to asthma sufferers, since their respiratory systems are often sensitized to gaseous irritants, as well as allergens.
IQAir GC and GCX Series:Professional Control of Gaseous Contaminants and Odors
If your concern is primarily odors or chemical vapors, the GC and GCX Series air purifiers will be the ones to consider. These units are specialized air cleaning devices that meet almost any gas phase removal need in residential, commercial, or medical environment. These units offer superior control of gaseous pollutants and odors, removal of tobacco smoke, and relief for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS). In addition, they also provide excellent filtration of particles, removing at least 99% of particles greater than .3 microns. Since different gaseous contaminants can only be effectively removed with specialized gas phase media, the IQAir GC and GCX series are available in four different gas cartridge configurations:
In most cases, the MultiGas GC or GCX is the best choice since its carbon blend absorbs the widest range of chemical vapors. It contains both the VOC and Chemisorber absorption media.
(If you have a specific, known, chemical problem such as formaldehyde off-gassing, you may want to consider one of the other types. Please call us if you need help in choosing the most effective gas phase cartridge for specific needs.) IQAir Cleanroom Series:Professional Control of Particulate Contaminants These units are generally chosen for medical and commercial applications (such as doctor's waiting rooms, pharmaceutical and research laboratories), but can be used in a home environment. The IQAir Cleanroom Series utilizes advanced HEPA and ULPA filter technology which delivers certified filtration efficiencies up to 99.997% at 0.12 microns.
Which IQAir Air Filter is Right for You? The difference between the IQAir HealthPro and the HealthPro Plus is that the HealthPro Plus has an extra filter stage. This stage is called the V5-Cell Filter and is used to absorb gases and odors. While both the HealthPro and HealthPro Plus will remove nearly all particles from the air, only the HealthPro Plus is designed to also remove gases and odors. If you have a serious problem with chemical vapors in your environment, you may need to consider the IQAir GC Series. Within this line, we generally prefer the IQAir MultiGas GC or GCX. This unit offers the best control of chemicals and odors and removes almost as much of the particulates from the air as the regular HealthPro models. This is an excellent choice when you need to decontaminate your environment of nearly all particles (including biologicals like viruses, bacteria, and mold spores) and need to do it quickly.
