What do our Air Purifiers remove from the air?

Air pollutants fall into 2 categories: particulate matter, and gases & chemicals. Our medical-grade air purifiers are specifically designed to remove these with different filter combinations available depending on your needs.

We offer the largest HEPA and activated carbon filters in the industry; the result is the only commercial grade air purifiers available for the home, which capture more particles and chemicals than any other air purifier.

Stage 1 | Technostat® Pre-filter

The Technostat® pre-filter is is made from a patented material used in respirators and face masks. It is the initial stage that the air is passed through and is designed to filter large dust particles right down to ultra fine sub-micron particles.



Stage 2 | H13 Medical-grade HEPA filter

Manufactured using H13 medical-grade HEPA filtration, normally only found in commercial environments such as hospitals and cleanrooms.


Certified 99.97% minimum efficiency at 0.3 microns (tested down to 0.003 microns @ 100% efficiency) Our residential models offer a filter surface area ranging from 3.8m² on the E7 and E8 to an incredible 6.4m² on the E20 Plus and DE20 Plus models, each exceeding HEPA filtration standards.

What does the HEPA Filter remove?

Bacteria Viruses
Dust Dust Mites
Aerosols Allergens
Sub-Micron Particles Pollens
Mould Spores Pet Dander



Stage 3 | Activated Carbon filter

Activated carbon traps gas molecules and any other chemicals that pass through it. Activated carbon has an immense surface area that allows an incredible amount of molecules to be adhered to the carbon. This means an air purifier with a larger activated carbon filter will be more efficient and will last longer before needing replacement.

Based on weight, INOVA includes more activated carbon in our filters than any other air purifier in Australia. Our INOVA-E8 system includes a 2.4kg Activated Carbon filter and we offer an even larger 6kg commercial-grade Activated Carbon filter in our INOVA-E20 and INOVA-DE20 models.
