About HEPA 13 filters
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to remove microscopic particles from the air. Vacuum cleaners with HEPA 13 filters help improve the overall air quality in the home.
Who should purchase a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA 13 filter?
Because HEPA 13 filters are so good at removing allergen from the air, they are the go-to choice for people who have allergies or other respiratory conditions. They will also benefit those who want to keep the air in their homes as clean as possible.
Disadvantages
A disadvantage of using a HEPA 13 filter is that its proficiency at capturing even the finest particles from the air also decreases the overall suction power of your vacuum cleaner.
Alternatives to HEPA 13 filters
The number that follows the “HEPA” designation indicates the minimum efficiency of the filter. The higher the number, the more efficient the filter is at capturing microscopic particles. For example, a HEPA 13 filter has a minimum efficiency of at least 99.95%, while a HEPA 14 filter has minimum efficiency of at least 99.995%.
ULPA (Ultra-Low Penetration Air) filters are even more efficient than HEPA filters. A ULPA 15 filter has a minimum efficiency of at least 99.9995%.
HEPA 14 and ULPA 15 filters are better at removing small particles from the air than HEPA 13 filters. However, it is important to note that the specific performance of a filter will vary depending on its design and build, as well as what it is intended to be used for.
