LG air purifiers: how the filters work

Want to buy an LG air purifier?? There are a lot of them in the company’s range. To choose the one that will help you breathe with your full breath, let’s see what filters are installed in each one and what they purify the air from.

LG PuriCare

LG PuriCare is a whole family of air purifiers that differ not only in size and function, but also in the way they clean the air.

LG PuriCare comes in

• double and ready to purify the air in a room of up to 89 square meters,
• Single – for a room up to 58 square meters.

1. The surface of the body is completely perforated – each opening works to suck in contaminated air.
2. Inside is a cylindrical filter that thoroughly separates all lint and dust, pollen and micro-particles, keeps viruses and bacteria from getting into your home.
3. Cylinder has an additional liner that will filter out even formaldehyde VOC .

PM 1 contamination sensor.0 detects the concentration of air pollution in the room and displays the information on the display.

Air purity level is calculated based on dust and odor gas concentration.

The indicators are not only displayed numerically, but also there is a convenient and understandable to all color indication:

If the herringbone turns purple, it is worth turning on the “turbo” mode and start the booster rotation the upper part is equipped with a spray booster, it can increase the efficiency in your chosen mode by 40% and will reach the farthest corners of the room – up to 7 m from the device .

In a matter of minutes, the unit will remove all contaminants from the air, and the icon will turn green = a safe environment for your loved ones.

Despite its small size and light weight 530 g , the gadget is very productive: a four-stage cleaning system and a powerful motor with dual fan ensure success.

The cylinder consists of 36 discs put together.

• Incoming air is first cleaned with a pre-filter and then enters the tank, caught by the blades and actually washed in water.
• All impurities particles, pollen and pet hair are trapped by the surface of the disc and remain at the bottom of the tank.

• Its volume 4.5 l is enough for a whole day, and at night you just refill it – pour tap water from the carafe on top.
• The body is easy to disassemble and all filtered can be removed from the tank by washing under running water with a sponge and detergent.

• Plasma ionization will additionally disinfect the atomized air, humidified to the recommended 45-60%.
• LED illumination is especially useful for children: as a night light for example.
• Child lock function,
• Any attempt to break into the unit will stop the operation immediately.

1. The pre-filter removes visible and palpable dust, pet hair, and lint. Mechanical cleaning is complete at this point.
2. Plasma ion filter works on the principle of electrostatics. Charged particles trap dust particles that have escaped past the previous boundaries and prevent them from spreading further.
3. The charcoal deodorant filter will eliminate all unpleasant odors, extraneous odors and provide a neutral atmosphere.
4. PM1 cleaning system.0. It is the smallest particles that are absolutely invisible to us, but can cause allergy and respiratory problems, deposited in our lungs. That is why special attention is paid to them: there is a sensor that captures them in the air and informs through a display on the front panel of the degree of contamination, then the filter intercepts the harmful particles. That’s as far as they go!
5. Water centrifuge! Water filtration system enhances pre-filtration with plasma and charcoal filters. The high circulation rate of the water in the drum, reaching up to 18 liters per hour, allows you to effectively purify the air.
6. The ultraviolet light treatment disinfects and almost sterilizes the air we breathe. It’s the same ultraviolet that dries the sponge filter when you’re not using the unit and eliminates any hints of sourness or mildew.

• There is a contamination indicator for the filter. Then the tank should be taken out of the body by the handy handle and washed under running water, the cassettes should be treated: charcoal filter put in the sun for 24 hours, mechanical – washed in water.
