So that is how HEPA filters catch everything
Have you ever wondered how those HEPA filters ever catch all the things they managed to catch? I’ve always wondered how they are able to keep your indoor air quality so clean.
I know they will work really well but how exactly do they work? This was a question I asked my local heating and AC technician when he came out to repair an air conditioning problem I was having.
I told him that I had recently switched to HEPA filters because of how great they are in the home. He’s going to explain to me exactly how the HEPA filter works. He said that they have a bunch of microscopic fibers and that they are responsible for catching all the dirt and debris. These papers are so small that they’re able to catch even the tiniest pieces of bacteria and particles that would otherwise probably make his way through. If this dust and bacteria was to make its way through it would then be flowing around in your air quality which you would then be breathing in. However, as soon as the HEPA filter stops them, it also prevents it from getting into the air and therefore it helps to keep you healthy as well which is why there are many benefits to using a HEPA filter. When he explained this to me it all made sense and I understood how HEPA filters work and I was pretty amazed by the technology. It was really great to have a HEPA filter to use myself because they really did give me great indoor air quality.
