I am looking for some fair opinions about something.
Let myself and others just start off by saying I have been severely worried about the coronavirus outbreak. I have an elderly mother who lives with us and our youngest child has asthma. Needless to say, I take indoor air conditions actually seriously. The people I was with and I have media air purification systems all around the house, the two of us have an Heating & A/C repair contract in which there is a guarantee to have our HVAC duct cleaned every 3 weeks, and the two of us use HEPA air filters instead of MERV air filters. Well, now that this pandemic has been thrust upon us, the stores are selling out of HEPA filters because most people is buying them up in a huge panic. The thing is, our family really needs the HEPA filters. I’m not saying that other families don’t need them, but I am saying that our family has been buying and using HEPA air filters since years before this pandemic. I started looking online and saw that there is a HEPA grade air filter that is washable. I have literally never heard of a washable air filter before and I am wondering if anyone has ever used one? Specifically, a HEPA washable air filter? I think that the washable air filters don’t labor as well but I have seen mixed reviews online; some say they’re better, some say they’re worse. If anyone has any personal testimony about using HEPA washable air filters, I would really love your insight. I’m thinking of using the HEPA washable air filters as a way to tide us over until this pandemic has ended, but I don’t want this to come at the cost of our family’s indoor air conditions. Please advise!
