- Nearly 70% of teachers turn off, or down, the HEPA filter due to noise.<\/li>\n
- 40% of teachers agree that noise from the HEPA filters makes it harder to teach\/harder to learn.<\/li>\n
- 31% of teachers indicate that students ask for the in-room air filter to be turned off or down either daily (11%) or weekly (20%).<\/li>\n
- 67% of teachers indicate they most often have the HEPA filter set to a level below High (including off). Most purifiers are spec\u2019d to run on maximum setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Need For Effective, Low-Disturbance Classroom Air Purifiers<\/h2>\n
We launched Smart Air with a DIY air purifier, designed to provide low-cost, affordable clean air at a time when companies were charging thousands for air purifiers.<\/p>\n
Later when we built the original Blast and Blast Mini air purifiers, our priority was building:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The most effective air purifier (highest CADR) at the lowest cost. <\/li>\n
- A purifier that was quiet even on high.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
After the Blast<\/a> and Blast Mini <\/a>MkII were released, it was clear how important the second priority was to our users. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe Blast Difference<\/h3>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nIt\u2019s hard to overstate how critical noise is to the decision-making process. Few manufacturers prioritize low noise on the top setting, yet the marketing will focus on how great the performance is at the highest levels.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s not just schools. Even in hospitals with signs such as \u201cDo not turn down, this machine is providing you with clean air\u201d, purifiers are turned down or off. (Xanax<\/a>) <\/p>\n
What Level of Noise is Acceptable in Most Workplaces?<\/h3>\n
The maximum decibels you should aim for is 50 dBA but ideally 40 dBA in a classroom. While this difference may not seem much, an increase of 10 dB means the purifier is \u201cabout\u201d twice as loud for human ears or 10 times the power in electronic terms. In other words, an air purifier marked as 50 dB is double the loudness of a 40 dB air purifier<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
