What Do I Need to Know Before Using an Air Scrubber?

Investing in air management equipment rentals is a guaranteed way to maintain clean air and remove unwanted contaminants.

At Priority Rental, we will help you find the right system for the job, but first, we ask that you consider the following:

1. Understand Your Need

You should determine the purpose of your air scrubber, how long you’ll need to rent, and where it will be used. Are you looking to filter the air in one room? Or perhaps a number of rooms?

The way air travels through a space can depend on the design of the building. We might recommend a series of systems working together in order to allow air to properly circulate and then move through one or more of our air filtration rentals.

2. Take Note of Your Environment

The standard goal with an air scrubber is to have an average of 6 air changes per hour. However, the number of air changes per hour should really be defined by the environment you’re working with. For help, check out our air scrubber calculator, which automatically calculates desired CFM based on the measurements of your space and number of air changes.

Not sure how many air changes you might require? Our chart below offers up a rough estimate based on the environment. Keep in mind, every situation is unique! You should consult with our sales team for custom recommendations.

Environments Where Our Air Scrubbers are found:

Powerful commercial systems that filter air can be found just about anywhere that requires clean, breathable air, including:

1. Schools
2. Office Spaces
3. Restaurants
4. and more!

3. Know Your Space

Before you make the call to order an air scrubber, you will want to determine how much of your space needs to be filtered. Two of our popular HEPA air scrubber rentals are the Airrex HSC-HEPA2000 and the Dri-Eaz DefendAir HEPA 500.

Before committing to a scrubbing system, you should take the time to understand each. The Airrex HEPA provides a larger footprint and is better for bigger areas, as it has a higher rate of airflow. The Dri-Eaz unit is more portable and is great if you are looking to move it to different rooms.

In the chart above, you can see how many cubic feet of air per minute each unit can filter. In some cases you may need more than 1 unit, depending on the space you are trying to filter.
