Air purifiers become less effective the more their filters become clogged with the crap they pull out of the air.

We highly recommend reading up on the signs that it's time to replace the interior filters ⬇️
📓 A guide to replacing your HEPA filters

What to look out for, tips for extending the life of your filters, and suggested timelines for our entire lineup of air purifiers. Knowledge is power! 🌬️

Every time we change the filters on our machines we're reminded EXACTLY why we do this!!
This is why we clean the air! 😮

The idea that acknowledging a threat automatically makes you "afraid" is one of the most annoying conflations that "Covid is over" people make.

"It’s clear that not all of us are paying equally for the risks taken by some; those of us with Long COVID have to pay with our health, bodies, careers, dreams, savings, and futures for the nights out and indoor dining of those who are still abled."

Re mask bans: sunglasses conceal people's identity more effectively than masks do, but everyone would object to a sunglasses ban.

The difference is that sunglasses are completely normalized accessibility devices, while masks have been pathologized as part of the total erasure of the pandemic.
March 22, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Re. the Columbia mask ban: imagine how absurd it would be for them to ban sunglasses worn "to conceal identity" but not "for medical reasons."

How could that even be enforceable? Who determines intent? What would count as a medical reason?

It's so important to prioritize schools that have poor air quality due to environmental racism!

The closer schools are to highways, which historically run through neighborhoods of color, the worse the air. Air purifiers are a racial equity issue.
🚌 The schools that we prioritize getting air purifiers to are ones that are disproportionately impacted by pollution, usually due to proximity to highways or air-polluting industry. But we believe that every kid deserves clean air at school, no matter where they live!

Kids deserve clean air at school!
We're fans of addressing student health from a holistic perspective, and that includes making sure the air is clean.

Our purifiers scrub classroom air of the viruses and bacteria that lead to student illness and absenteeism. They're *proactive* solutions in a reactive world.

Lots of people find replacing the Sip valve way too $$.

Luckily there's a different supplier for the replaceable valve and it's WAY cheaper 😈

Another guide on purifier usage, this time on PLACEMENT! Read once, get it right forever.

(We often have to remind borrowers to stop backing purifiers up against the wall when it needs airflow back there! A chart in this thread shows it reduces efficacy by 95% 😬)
💨 If you’re trying to figure out where to place your purifier(s), this guide is for you!

The goal is always to make sure that air can pass through the purifier as freely as possible so that the filters can do their job. 🧵
