Air purifiers in aviaries should reduce odor, airborne dander, feathers, and dust, all of which can contribute to respiratory infections and the onset of disease. Choosing the 8 features below will insure that the air purifier in your aviary is effective. 1. Easy Maintenance--Choose a purifier that can simply be plugged in and left to operate perfectly without any required daily maintenance. An occasional wipe with a damp cloth, and vacuuming of the outside for appearance should be the extent of your maintenance. 2. Durable Housing--A purifier with steel housing prevents off-gassing that sometimes occurs with purifiers made of plastic. A powder coat finish on the steel also means it will look good, but is tough enough to last in an aviary. Many purifiers are available in a variety of colors that will allow it to blend in with its surroundings. 3. Powerful Motor--If the air in the aviary is to be filtered constantly, the purifier motor needs to be capable of running 24 hours. Check to make sure it is rated for continuous high RPM, and long life duty. 4. HEPA Filter--High efficiency particle arresting filters by definition remove 99.97% of pollutants down to .3 microns. So out of 10,000 pollutants floating around in the aviary, a HEPA filter will remove 99,997 particles. And HEPA filtration has zero side effects on the birds. 5. Substantial Warranty--Check the warranty before you purchase. A purifier that has a substantial warranty indicates that the purifier is well made and will stand the test of time, and that if it doesn\'t the manufacturer will make it right for you. 6. Easy Filter Change Procedure--To make sure there is as little down time as possible, filter changes should be simple and easy to execute. This means the air quality in the aviary stays high because the procedure is easy and fast. 7. Readily Available--Choose a purifier that is readily available to your aviary as in 3-5 business days or less with expedited shipping. Ask about the availability of not only the purifiers but the replacement filters. Choosing a purifier made by a manufacturer who keeps their products in stock, or even makes them on site, saves you from a damaging delay in getting the products that you need to keep your birds healthy. 8. Reputable Manufacturer--Choose a manufacturer with a stable, and trusted reputation, and who is likely to remain in business. This helps insure that the air filtration products will be readily available to your aviary for as long as you need them.
