GMC 280AP Air Purifier with Medical Grade H13 HEPA Filter System.

This is done by means of an advanced multi-stage cleaning system:

- Activated Carbon Filter - Effectively removes Benzene and other VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), common household chemicals, dust, dust mites, lint, mould spores, pet dander, pet hair, pollen and smoke from the air.

- Antiviral Filter- Kills and removes airborne viruses including reducing Sars-COV-2 infections

- Cold Catalyst Filter - The cold catalyst filter is used to decompose odours in the air such as formaldehyde, alcohol and ammonia and kills viruses and bacteria in the air too.

- Ionizer - Releases the property concentration of negative ions to keep air fresh. Evidence shows that air ionizers purify the air of bacteria, dust, cigarette smoke, moulds, soot, pollen and household odours. This has significant impact on people suffering from hay fever and other seasonal allergies. Asthma sufferers have also noticed a difference in the quality of air they breathe after using an Air Purifier with an Ionizer. They can help improve sleep patterns.

- Medical Grade HEPA (H13) Filter - Removes particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air at 99% effectiveness. The HEPA filter is made up of glass fibre paper and the filtration rate can be from 95% to 99.999%, concentrating on the most penetrating particle size, which is 0.3 micron (1 micron is 1 thousandth of a millimetre). A human hair is approximately 300 microns, Dust mites approximately 400 microns.

- Pre-filter (removes the large airborne particles)

- UVC Light captures and destroys bacteria and viruses

With its built-in UVC Light, the GMC 280AP Air Purifier comes highly recommended to protect public facilities, doctor s rooms and hospital rooms for patients. It further reduces VOCs, toxic fumes and foul odours.

AirPurifier - Frequently asked questions

What is an air purifier and how does it work?

An air purifier removes contaminants from the air in a room to improve indoor air quality. Most use filters (like HEPA filters) to trap particles such as dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander.

What is PM2.5 or PMI?

PM2.5 refers to particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers-tiny airborne particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs. A PMI or Particulate Matter Index is a measure of these particles in the air, typically shown in micrograms per cubic meter ( g/m ).

Why would the PMI remain at 20 even when using an air purifier?

Our product is designed to maintain a PMI reading of 20 when the air contains no contaminants, which indicates that the air is healthy and free of pollutants.

What kind of air purifier is best for PM2.5?

A True HEPA filter is best for capturing fine particles like PM2.5. Some models also include activated carbon filters to trap gases and odors.

How often should I replace air purifier filters?

This depends on the brand and usage, but typically every 6-12 months for HEPA filters and 3-6 months for pre-filters or carbon filters. Always follow the manufacturer's guidance.

Can air purifiers help with allergies or asthma?

Yes, air purifiers can reduce allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, providing relief for allergy and asthma sufferers. The GMC range of Air purifiers are approved by the Allergy foundation of South Africa.

Do air purifiers remove viruses and bacteria?

Some HEPA filters can capture particles the size of many bacteria and viruses, and some purifiers include UV-C light or PECO technology for microbial inactivation. However, they should be used as part of a broader strategy for health protection.

Should I run the air purifier all day?

Yes, especially if you're indoors most of the time or have ongoing air quality issues. Many models are energy efficient and designed for continuous use.

Where should I place my air purifier for best results?

Place it in the room where you spend the most time (e.g., bedroom or living room). Keep it at least a foot away from walls or furniture to allow proper airflow.

What does CADR stand for?

This acronym represents an important measurement for air purifiers. CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate. This measurement was developed by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. It indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by a portable air purifier. It is given in three measurements - one for pollen, one for tobacco smoke, and one for dust. The higher the CADR number, the faster the unit filters the air.
