Any reason why I can’t clean the inner filter on my Delta Ap200 ambient air filter? I’m sure it won’t be good as new, but will it hurt?

Ambient Air cleaner – can you clean the inner filter?
January 25th, 2011Can anyone offer a comparison of Honeywell F500 Whole-House HEPA Air Cleaner VS. Trane CleanEffects?
January 9th, 2011Our HVAC friend recommended that we consider the Trane CleanEffects system. We have terrible allergies (to the point of replacing wall-to-wall with hardwood) and he thinks it’s a great system. We currently use Honeywell room purifiers, however they are really loud and my husband hates it. Since Honeywell is a brand I use and trust, I am trying to find out if there are significant performance and cost differences between the two. From what I gather from the Trane marketing material is that the Trane filter is non-porous creating less pressure drop. Beyond that, I don’t know what the difference is in air quality or cost. So I guess I have three questions:
What are the performance differences?
What are the cost (unit, installation, filters) differences?
If you use either of these systems in your own home, what do you love/hate about it?
THANK YOU!
Allergies, cold, irritants??? need an Air Purifier? not sure.. HELP?
January 1st, 2011Been living in the same house for 8 years. Old home was redone before we bought it. When we moved in, we fixed a leaky roof in the back that had caused a little bit of mold on the ceiling. All fixed, no issues. Still have some problems with mold growth in the bathroom, however. Vent fan must not be cutting it or something.. I dunno. But I do my best to keep ontop of cleaning and sterilizing until we have saved up enough to completely gut and redo the bathroom.
Anyways, since moving in, we have had 2 kids.
I have never had issues with allergies until around the time I had moved here. (Could be from farmland though, as I had moved from the city.)
The point is, my husband gets reoccuring sinus and upper-resperatory infections. Our daughters get them every year as well, and I have seasonal allergies (or so i presume) but it seems all our symptoms get worse when it’s damp outside (after a rain, or when snow starts melting). Could this be a mold allergy? Symptoms also get worse during the night.
We put in a new furnace a couple of months ago and so i now know it’s not from dust (we had all ductwork thoroughly cleaned as well).
Thinking an air purifier may be our last hope. My MIL bought an edenpure ozone generating one. They have no problems with allergies at their home, and it seems mine get better for a while when i visit. I don’t think an ozone one would be a good idea with kids in the home though, so I am looking at a Rabbit Air BioGS 421A .
Does anyone have a clue as to what this all could be? Would an air purifier really make a difference?
My allergy symptoms also were almost gone visiting his grandparents over Christmas. They have a very clean home AND a cheaper honeywell air purifier…. I’m just wondering why symptoms seem worse at home? I dunno… what is mold allergy like?
Can anyone give me any real advice or help? Thanks!

Black spots appearing on our shades, air cleaner, & more. What can it be?
December 30th, 2010We do not live in a polluted area or where there is traffic. Our carbon monoxide reader is not detecting anything so I’m not sure what it can be.
Our shades are getting black spots on them and our air purifier keeps picking up this stuff. Each time we clean it it’s all black.
It’s been going on for a long time. Sometimes we wake up with headaches or coughing but we’re not sure if that has anything to do with this stuff. What should we do?

Science says that a vacuum cleaner should suck air more forcefully when using a narrower nozzle but?
October 21st, 2010I find that the suction force is much lesser when using the narrower nozzle. Any idea why? There are no cracks in the narrow nozzle.
P.S: Since the same amount of air is exhaled per unit of time whether using the broader nozzle or the narrower nozzle, more air must enter the nozzle per square inch when using a narrower nozzle, hence the suction force is expected to be more.
