2. How do
I select the right size Air Purifier for my needs?
Consider the size of your room and the CADR (Clean
Air Delivery Rate) ratings when selecting your
air purifier. CADR scores are from an independent
laboratory testing which simulates real world conditions.
The higher the score, the better the unit cleans a
room. Shop by Room Size.

3. Is a filter
included with the air purifier when I initially purchase the unit?
All models are shipped with one filter included.

4. How long
will the Filter last?
The first Filter will typically last from six months under continuous
use, but it depends upon how "dirty" the environment
is and how often the air purifier is used. For example, if your
new Hunter unit is a replacement for another unit, then the room
is probably cleaner than most. However, if you are putting it
in a room that has never had an Air Purifier, then the first Filter
will need changing sooner.

5.
Can the Filters be manually washed or recycled in
any way or do I have to purchase entirely new Filters?
Most Air Purifiers use disposable filters. Hunter units use
a combination filter, which is designed to be easily replaced.
The top-of-the-line Hunter models have Pre-Filters to catch the
larger particles. This pre-filter can be washed with a hose and
used again once it has had time to dry.

6. How
do I know when to replace my Filter?
Hunter models come with either a "Check Filter Light"
or a "Filter Chart" to help you understand when to change
the filter. The light comes on after 1,000 hours of use, which
is the average time for needing to change the Filter. The chart
is color-coded to give you an indication of how "Dirty"
the Filter is.

8. What
is an Ionizer and what is its function on the Air Purifier?
An Ionizer attaches an electrical charge to the air that passes
through the Air Purifier. This charge (typically a negative charge)
then attracts positively charged particles that are floating in
the air. This "weighs down" the particles so that they
sink out of the air. These work best when used with other filtration
methods that collect the majority of particles on a disposable
Filter.

9. Do all Air
Purifiers have Ionizers included?
No... Many Air Purifiers rely only on a mechanical Filter and
miss the particles that are not drawn into the unit.

10. Will
Air Purifiers remove Carbon Monoxide or radon if present in a
room or house?
The typical room Air Purifier can remove only particles, not
gases. Only extremely expensive, industrial type systems can capture
these gases effectively.

11.
How will I know that the Air Purifier is actually
cleaning effectively? Will the air smell different?
Often you do not realize how well your Air Purifier is working
until you change the Filter and find how filthy it is. Even then,
you cannot see the microscopic particles that the Filter catches.
Some signs that it is working include:
- Less Dust on the furniture
- Clean smell to the air, especially when using units with an
Ionizer
- Decreased Allergens in your home

12. Can
I program my Air Purifier to come On/Shut Off at certain times?
Hunter's Auto Shut Off Feature allows you to set the unit to
run for 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours before shutting itself off.

13. How is
performance or effectiveness rated on air purifiers?
The Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) score gives the consumer
the best indication of performance. The real world
testing which leads to these scores is approved by
the Association
of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) and ANSI
(American National Standards Institute). The testing
has also been recognized by the FTC as the only valid
comparison of performance for room air purifiers.
The testing involves filling a room with particles
and testing how quickly an Air Purifier will clean
the air in the room. There are three tests, using
Smoke, Dust and Pollen because each has different
properties. Smoke is considered the hardest to clean,
and is, therefore, used to establish how large a room
a tested unit will clean.
