The Most Effective Way To Clean your Air Purifier

Posted by admin on May 15, 2016 in Air Purification with No Comments


Alpine air purifiers must be routinely cleaned and checked up on to make sure they are running to their full potential and correctly working effectively.  You should be performing these check-ups at least once a month on your air purifier.  The more you maintain and ensure your air purifier is working effectively, the longer the lifespan for it as well.

Every 30 days, make sure you wash the ceramic ozone plates in warm water with recommended clear/lemon ammonia added.  If you do add the ammonia, add 1 teaspoon with 1 cup of water.  If you do not have this, it’s OK.  Then you want to soak the ozone plates in the warm water solution for 2-3 minutes.  Remove any leftover residue by lightly scrubbing the metal screen on each side of the plates with a toothbrush or soft brush-like material.  Allow for the plates to dry fully before reinserting them back into the unit.  You do not want to insert damp and moist plates back into the unit which may result in damaging your unit.

If your air purifier has a back carbon filter on the back of it, it is recommended that you clean it at the same time as the ozone plates.  You can use a can of compressed air that can be bought from any local Home Depot or office supplies store to spray the dust off the filter.  It is recommended that this is done every 3 months about.  You should also replace the back filter at least once a year and replace the ozone plates at least once every 3 years.  If you notice the ozone output has decrease or the plate is arching/producing a weird sound, you shouldn’t wait to replace the plates as well.  You can order these plates or other replacement parts like back filters on our parts page found on our website.

Additionally, you can use the compressed air to effectively remove any dust inside the unit once every couple of months, or whenever you feel necessary.  You can also easily unscrew and remove the front grill of the air purifier and use compressed air to clean the fan motor, the fan blade, or the surrounding areas as needed as well.

For additional information for specific maintenance instructions applicable to your model, please refer to the user guide for you air purifier.  Please know that the user guides for old, out of circulation air purifiers are no longer available and you can just follow these general maintenance instructions safely.  Visit Alpine’s FAQ page if you have more questions about how to clean, replace, maintain, or general topics on your air purifier.
