Healthway Air Purifiers in Durham, NC

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) is a standard for air filtration set by the U.S. government. This is generally seen as an acceptable measurement for whether indoor air is good or bad. We couldn’t disagree more. HEPA standards are simply not good enough to meet the demands of a health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.

HEPA filters are not 100% effective for particles up to 0.3 micron – which the American Lung Association qualifies as “coarse particles.” Our technology at North Carolina Water Filtration is more efficient, proving to remove 99% of particulate down to .007 micron. Making HealthWay® the most efficient air purifier available– and the only one proven to trap and eliminate ultrafine particles.
