Air Filtration

[myakando]

I agree with Michael.... all parrot owners should have some sort of good quality air purification system. We owe it to ur birds

our whole house has a hrv system. purifies the air and takes the moisture out

picture:
u can see the air vent its in my room and your able to push it up so it closes when my birds are out. the hrv system costs about $5000 but its worth it and there is a air vent in every room. you clean the filter once every 3 months

so ive decided i should get one. in additon to skeeter i also have a rat cage and ive noticed my room does have alittle animal smell and it does seem sort of dusty around skeeters cage which is also the area i sleep so ya ive decided to get one. thing is....... 150 dollars and up is pretty expensive. something a little cheaper would be nice. i was looking and i really wanted one with a permanent filter you know? and my room is a bout 10x12 maybe a little bigger. so what is a good one? i found osme for 50 or so dollars but has mixed reviews. any suggestions?

Don't buy the cheap ones, they suck (and not the air for filtration). I started out with a cheap one for like $60 and didn't like it and still have it but pretty much never use it. I have one that is really powerful but quite noisy. This one I mostly use during the day when I'm not home. Another one I have is quiet enough in the low setting that I use it 24/7. Even though it's on low, the length of time it is running helps.

This is the one I have and I really like it. It's quiet and effective. It can be put on swing mode where it spins side to side or lock in one direction. When I take the birds outside I turn it up to full blast but keep it on low 24/7. Don't waste your money on a cheap one that you won't like to use anyway. Perhaps save up for a bit and get this for the long run. I ended up wasting money on the cheap one because I had to replace it with a good one anyway. Shop around though, you may be able to find a better price on the same unit elsewhere.

ok thanks! in the time being does having your windows open help at all or not?

Yeah, that outside air gets inside somehow. It's not the filters, it's the car.
