Smog and Pollution have covered the entire NCR region. People are struggling to breathe, and the AQI is off the charts—it reaches close to 1,000 almost daily. Air purifiers were a luxury item back in the days but now they have become necessity thanks to pollution. People are making videos and buying guides to get the best purifier but are they really telling you everything?
If buying an air purifier is not in your budget, should you just give up? What if you could convert your AC into a purifier? Yes, you can convert your AC into a purifier. An IIT alumni created this, and it is cost-effective as well.
AIRTH – Cleaning on Budget
The basic air purifier on Amazon or Flipkart retails above 4K, and that, too, is not equipped with a medical-grade HEPA filter. We must check the specifications and the official website before actually buying an air filter. The cheap ones are either equipped with regular filters or have HEPA-like filters. These filters are not enough to absorb all the harmful contents of air.
You do not face such issues with the AIRTH air purifier. Furthermore, you get a medical-grade HEPA filter that does not burn a hole in your pocket. This is not the only notable feature of these filters; you also get better airflow along with a broader area covered than any regular air purifier.
How to Install AIRTH
The USP of the AIRTH is the ability to turn a regular AC into an AC air purifier. This contraption sits on top of your AC’s mesh filter. The inflow of air is from above, and then the filtered air is released from the AC vents. Follow the steps for a smooth installation
1. First, remove and clean your AC’s mesh filters.
2. Next, take the air purifier module out and remove the paper cover from the magnetic tape.
3. Assemble the air purifier by keeping the main HEPA filter in the middle and the remaining two filters on each side.
4. Once you have arranged everything on the air purifier module. Place it on top of your AC.
How Does it Compare to Others?
I have a Xiaomi 4 air purifier with a CADR of 400CMH and a P.M rating of 2.5. It is equipped with a HEPA and an active carbon filter and is priced at Rs. 14,999. My experience with Xiaomi is great as this one runs quietly and can reduce the AQI levels much faster. We will be using this as a Benchmark for the AIRTH air purifier.
AIRTH also has a HEPA filter and a P.M. 2.5 rating. Additionally, it can handle an AQI level above 300 very easily. With my usage, I find that this has better airflow and a bigger delivery radius, which resulted in bringing down the AQI of 510 to only 40 within an hour. This is commendable, considering it is available for even less than the filter that is used in the Xiaomi 4.
You might be thinking that if I use this with my AC, then the electricity bill will be off the charts. You can calm down since most of the ACs are equipped with fan mode. AIRTH can function in fan mode, and you can adjust the temperature accordingly; given only the fan is running, the electricity bill will be under limits. Furthermore, AIRTH has been part of a case study at IIT Kanpur, and the results are very promising. You can read it here.
For me AIRTH is a innovative product that gives a very practical solution to one of the major issues right now. This works best for those who are staying away from home , they can just buy these and install on their AC. I would rate this a solid 8 out of 10.
Final Thoughts
If I were to recommend someone a purifier on the budget, I would suggest AIRTH AC air purifier. This helps you breathe better and also saves you from bacteria and germs. The product is simple, and it just works. For more reviews, make sure to follow GadgetsToUse.
