Air purifiers are currently popular with many families, however, improper maintenance will cause the equipment to deteriorate quickly as well as reduce performance.
Housewives should pay attention to the following to help the machine operate well in the long run and save a lot of costs.
Regularly filtering hygiene
filters play an important role as air purifiers, helping to filter fine dust, bacteria and pollen. Accordingly, housewives should clean the filter at least once every 2 weeks. When cleaning, avoid using too many chemicals or forcefully do things that will damage the filter lining. Replacing the filter film regularly (usually 6 months to 1 year) will help maintain the effectiveness and durability of the device.
Location of the air purifier
The location of the air purifier is also a factor that determines the effective operation of the product. Do not place wall saters or wear barriers that will obstruct convective airflow. It is advisable to place the device at least 30cm away from the wall, in an airy place and near the frequent areas of the family.
Avoid placing the device in an hidden corner or near a heat source such as a kitchen, heater... because high temperatures can affect the performance of the air purifier.
turn off the device when not in use
Keeping the machine running continuously 24/7, not only increases electricity consumption but also causes the motor and fan to be overloaded. If the air in the room is as clean as desired, switch to power saving mode or turn off the device completely during times of no use. This method will help the internal components not be overloaded as well as ensure the longevity of the product.
No cover for air intakes and drainage holes
A common mistake of many families is placing items such as towels, toys or flower pots near the filter, causing airflow to be obstructed. This puts pressure on the fan motor, making the device ineffective and prone to damage. Keeping the suction holes always airy is an important principle to protect air purifiers from long-term use.
Store the device when used little
After a long time of not using, take out the power and clean the device. Then wrap with a dust pack and store in a dry, cool place to help limit the corrosion of electronic components of the air purifier.
