We recalculated how much the materials for the new Purifying Prism cost us and realized we could lower the price to $229. So, those of you who purchased the kit the week it launched will be receiving a refund from us for the difference.

A lot of you have been frustrated with your school district, and we get it. But we want to talk to the people who have been making the decisions that affect kids’ and teachers’ health and tell them we understand the challenges they’re up against.  #CleanAirKits #cleanairinschools #airpurifiers

The Purifying Table MIGHT be our favorite purifier yet. It has a very high CADR (400 cfm which means a large room, for ex: 20’x20’ 400 sq ft, gets 7.5 air changes per hour). But it’s still quiet and unobtrusive. We like to let it double as furniture and use it as a side table or even a nightstand.

It comes as an unassembled kit, which you’ll understand once you feel how sturdy & furniture-like it is. Shipping it assembled would be hard, but good news—it’s our easiest kit to assemble (tied with the brand new Purifying Prism)! www.cleanairkits.com/products/pur... #cleanairkits #cleanair

Since it only pulls 7 watts of power, your energy bill won't notice the continuous one-speed cleaning, and if you want a wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted option with a Clean Air Delivery Rate of ~360 cfm, our 6-fan Ceiling Prism Air Purifier launches soon! www.cleanairkits.com/products/pur...

You might think it’s *inevitable* that kids will get sick, especially at school. We understand why you think that because it’s the #1 place kids pick up illness. But did you know it’s NOT inevitable? #cleanair #crbox #cleanairkits #healthyschools #diypurifier

and the stress of them missing out on class instruction and the sadness of watching them miss the birthday party they were looking forward to, etc, etc, then here’s what we want to tell you.

If you add just one or two purifiers to their classroom, it can drastically reduce the number of illnesses they catch from classmates. Try it for just this school year and let us know what you notice!

(Also, if you believe kids NEED to get sick and that it’s good for their immune systems, please comment and tell us that because we want to share an alternate perspective if you’re willing to hear us out.)

You could possibly trace it back to a 4th grade class where kid 1 came to school with the sniffles and inadvertently passed the virus along to 5 other kids, and one of those kids shared it with their dad, who was in the dental chair at the appointment before you.

If you're able to donate one or two purifiers to a classroom near you or have a chat with a teacher you know to explain the benefits, it might keep you or someone in your community from avoiding the next illness. #cleanair #crbox #cleanairkits #healthyschools #diypurifier #transmissabledisease

By all means–keep up the good hand hygiene. Huge kudos to the teachers helping kindergartners get in the habit of washing their hands after using the bathroom and before eating…and doing it for the full 20 seconds! #cleanair #crbox #cleanairkits #healthyschools #diypurifier

flu, RSV, tuberculosis, measles (shudder), Sars-COV-2, and even norovirus when a kid has just vomited before making it to the restroom–yep, even that goes airborne before it has time to settle onto the floor. Then airborne again when someone is cleaning it up.

Make sure you have the right tools for the method of transmission. Get a purifier for the teacher in your life, or the student. If you don’t know either–call your nearest neighborhood school and ask if you can drop off a donated purifier.

But the cleanest hands aren’t going to keep you from inhaling an airborne virus! *insert your favorite metaphor of mismatched tools* You get all of these sicknesses (and more) purely by inhaling what others have exhaled (they don’t even have to cough or sneeze to give it to you):

Illness spread is preventable inside schools, and purifiers are a big prevention tool. You might think schools are already good to go with all the purifiers they purchased in 2020, but actually…

Or for a more budget-friendly option, you can build several CR boxes with box fans like Lasko and four MERV 13 furnace filters. Noise isn’t as much of a concern in those loud rooms.

For typical classrooms, try to stay under 45 decibels so that the purifier doesn’t need to be turned off or down to a less effective setting. All of our purifiers are 45 dB or lower except the Brisk Box Ultra Black which is 48 dB. #cleanair #crbox #cleanairkits #healthyschools #diypurifier

For gyms and cafeterias, we recommend our power-house, the Brisk Box Ultra Black with 8 PC fans and more than 450 cfm of clean air delivery rate which covers 12 students in a classroom (per ASHRAE 241 infectious disease control guidelines).

Before you or a school you’re connected with dismiss purifiers because of their noise and energy usage, you need to know that there’s a better option. We designed our quiet and energy-efficient PC-fan + furnace filter purifiers with the classroom in mind.

It’s easy for teachers to plug them in and forget about them (not just for the day, but for the entire school year). When we say energy-efficient, we mean that you can leave them running all night and on the weekends without the electricity bill going up noticeably.

We’ve seen so many photos of HEPA filters piled up in hallways and closets because schools either can’t afford replacement filters or just realized they weren’t being used by the teachers because they’re too loud and ineffective.

You might think schools already have great ventilation systems (or at least adequate), but actually…nearly half of schools need to upgrade or replace their HVACs. Many other heating/cooling systems go under-utilized for air-cleaning and only get used for temperature regulation.

But back to schools’ clean air problem that is making us all sick. Here’s what you can do in addition to a chat with the facilities manager (dm us for tips on how to approach that conversation diplomatically so you don’t step on any toes).

You can also buy and donate or build and donate air purifiers that are quiet enough to work in classrooms. For gyms and cafeterias, you can get away with loud purifiers, so consider building CR boxes. #cleanair #crbox #cleanairkits #healthyschools #diypurifier

Chances are high they’ve never heard that advice. If you can afford to buy a $17 furnace filter, offer to bring one and have them try it. It’s a myth that it’ll make the HVAC work too hard.

You can do this in your home, too, and it adds 400 cfm of clean air delivery rate to each room with a vent and return vent – that’s the same as one of our Luggable XLs or Purifying Tables!

Ask the facilities manager at your school or whatever building you spend time in if they know the trick where you use a MERV 13 furnace filter while running the fan continuously instead of on auto. Report back if the answer is yes and if they actually do it!

By NEXT WEEK you can do something that results in less sickness for everyone in a classroom. Improving air quality = less illness spread. Adding 1-2 purifiers in classrooms can drastically reduce how many students (teachers & their families) become sick this school year. CleanAirKits.com
