Blueair 503 Air Purifier

Specifications

• Outstanding Quality Unlike flimsy plastic air cleaners, the 503 is built of high quality Swedish steel and uses a specially-designed, German-made motor with special sound insulating motor mounts for nearly silent operation and years of trouble free service.

• Award Winning Design The Blueair 503's beautiful and tasteful design has won a European design award and earned it a permanent place in the Contemporary Swedish Design Exhibit of The National Museum in Stockholm. The flat panel design allows for greater placement options and blends in easily with most decor. Mounted on easy rolling casters, your Blueair may be easily moved from room to room.

• Clean Air Delivery Rate of 390 cubic feet per minute, as tested by AHAM for rooms up to 550 square feet! So even in a room this size, the Blueair 503 provides a complete air exchange every 11 1/2 minutes. More...

• Mechanical and Electrostatic Technologies in a Single Air Purifier

  The typical air cleaner traps particles using either mechanical or electrostatic technology. The Blueair 503 traps nearly 600% more dirt than typical air purifiers tested by using both!

  The secret is in Blueair's special filter material recently developed in Germany and an ozone-free electrostatic precipitator that charges particles so they are magnetically attracted to the filter material.

  The filters contain millions of ultra thin fibers in three different sizes. Larger particles are trapped first, followed by medium and then small. This means that the filters resist loading or clogging and continue filtration at peak performance levels longer.

  This dual technology explains how the Blueair 503 traps more particles using filters that are less dense than other air cleaners. Since air flows more easily through the Blueair 503, it cleans larger volumes of air with far less nise than typical air cleaners.

  The Blueair 503 emits absolutely no ozone. In fact, tests have shown that in rooms where a Blueair 503 is operating, ozone levels actually decrease!

• Blueair's Exclusive HEPASilent™ Filter Technology is the secret to the highest levels of Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and the quietest air purifier available.

• SurroundAir™ Minimizes Drafts To minimize drafts, the Blueair air purifier disperses clean air on three sides through an area six times greater than the average air cleaner, a process called SurroundAir™. As you can see from the diagram, Blueair also is unique in the way it takes in air from the sides and floor.

• Energy Efficient Because the HEPASilent technology in the Blueair 503 results in less air pressure to move air through the filter, the 503 uses a very small amount of electricity. On its lowest speed it uses the energy of a 15-watt light bulb and on its highest speed a 70-watt bulb! That means that compared to other air cleaners requiring 200-watts of energy, the 503 can cut your energy costs by more than $600 over five years and still clean far more air!

• Environmentally Aware Most of the 503 is made of steel and the filters are polypropylene. Both of these materials are recyclable and don't release harmful gasses or fibers. And, because it uses about three times less electricity than the typical air cleaner, the 503 is easy on the environment in terms of energy demand, too. The filters are also different from typical air cleaners in that they contain no harmful glass fibers or triclosan. And, because they are hydrophobic (water resistant), the filters cannot be a breeding ground for microbial contaminants.

• Ozone Free The Blueair 503 produces absolutely no ozone. In fact, testing has shown that in rooms where a Blueair 503 is operating, ozone levels actually decrease!

• Easy Maintenance There are three filters in the unit, which can be changed in seconds. There is no disassembly or tools required. You simply open the unit, slide the soiled filters out and replace them. There are also special SmokeStop filters available for odor control and these have been very popular in areas where smokers or other objectionable odors are present.

• Choice of Filters The standard Gas Particle filters will meet most needs. But you also can choose special SmokeStop filters for odor control in areas where smokers or other objectionable odors are present. More...

• Four Speed Operation On the first two speeds, it is virtually inaudible. On the third and fourth speeds you will hear the unit operating. However, the way the unit is designed to work is that you set it on the higher speed settings for only an hour when it is first turned on. This provides for accelerated air exchanges to quickly reduce indoor pollutants. The unit is then set to one of the lower settings to provide continuous, practically silent filtration of the room air.

• Five-year Limited Warranty The Blueair 503 also includes a five-year limited warranty on all components except filters, which covers everything except misuse. More...
