How the product works

Using fans to draw air through filters, Holmes^® air purifiers help remove pollutants, allergens and other contaminants from the air you breathe. In some cases, the air first passes through a pre-filter to trap pollen, dust, pet hair and other large particles before passing through a high-efficiency HEPA-Type or True HEPA filters.

HEPA-Type filters remove up to 99% of particles as small as 2 microns, and True HEPA filters can achieve up to 99.97% particle filtration, of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air passing through the filter.

After the air is filtered, a powerful fan quietly distributes the clean air back into the room. As an added function, some air purifiers include Ionizers that release negatively charged ions, which attach to dander, pollen and other small, positively charged impurities to form larger particles that are more easily trapped by the filter.

With correct use and proper maintenance, Holmes^® air purifiers will help you improve your indoor air quality as well as your family’s personal comfort and well-being.
