We've shipped air purifiers across Canada and I've had nothing but wonderful interactions with our fellow citizens who are nothing but kind and compassionate. We will overcome this attack on our nation by sticking together and building on our strengths. #buycanadian #airpurifier #airquality

The folks at House Fresh tested a bunch of 140mm PC fans and it looks like we made a good decision going with the Arctic P14 Pro for our Polaris Ultra. A good balance between cost / performance / noise level: #IndoorAirQuality #AirPurifier #WildfireSmoke #CovidIsAirborne youtu.be/Rlz37IdCcIE?...

Here's the difference in particulate matter readings inside and outside. Inside I run multiple air cleaners, including ones from @northboxsystems.bsky.social . Outside, it's wildfire smoke.

Particulate matter readings from inside the house to outside the house to inside again. Shows how air cleaners are helping to rid the air of wildfire smoke cause particulate matter.

Wildfire season is well under way and this is the first 10 of almost 50 air purifiers for the BC Wildfire Service. They will help protect their crews from airborne smoke particles while they sleep in their tents set up nearby active fires. #wildfiresmoke #airpurifier

Here is our prototype activated carbon air cleaner. I'm hoping it will be effective against wildfire smoke VOCs. It uses 3 x Arctic P14 Pro fans with a speed controller. #VOC #IndoorAirQuality #AirPurifier #wildfiresmoke

It ain't pretty but here is the working prototype of the "SmokeBuster". A Dupont Activated Carbon "odor and VOC filter" with 3 stacked P14 Pro speed controllable fans. Getting this ready in time for wildfire season, this year could be really bad. #wildfiresmoke #airpurifier #carbonfilter
