Air Cleaners?

They (the box fan idea) would be a little too loud to use generally during the day, but at night in the areas the cats are at during the day?

Yeah, that's why it's a non-starter for me.

So run it at night… That’s when most of the dust will have settled, anyway. During the day there is more air movement with people in the room.

Yeah, of course. But the aesthetics of a box fan in the living room with a filter attached are something that Mrs. George might object to.

That’s why you run it at night. Of course, I’m Yinzer enough to be fine with it.

Dress it up with something cheery, like Xmas tinsel or a flowered throw. Alternately you can hide from view behind something like a couch. It draws air regardless of where it’s located- you could probably even stick it in a closet and shut the door.

If per hair and let droppings are the cause for air quality issues, wouldn't it be cheaper and more thorough to just get rid of the pet?

I hadn’t realized our box fan had the power coming straight out the back behind the motor… Had to perform a little light surgery on the filter. Also, the 1900 Microparticle filter didn’t actually have a MERV rating on it. A few of the lower numbers (1100 and such) had a MERV rating of 8, but 1900 should be fine, and I’m not really concerned about the virus protection.

You also may be allergic to cats and have to choose between being a little redneck or spending $$$$ to have multiple air filters around the house, or paying for a house AND a 1 bedroom efficiency…

We are the epicenter of air cleaners. We have 9 of these in the house. In virtually every room it sounds like we're in a B17 flying doing a sortie over Berlin. OTH, theoretically, we should be able to make semiconductors on the dining room table.

My spouse is the driving force for these - having a sensitivity to all things airborne. Of course, we also have a good air cleaning system on the central air.

We never open windows.

All of this is why I've largely moved to high end headphones for music listening.

Pretty sure any 1900 microfibre filtre will meet Merv 13.
