Today's pets are allowed in hotels, stores, airplanes and limos. But when the family pet can't go, any kennel that has a hope of boarding this family member has to meet very high standards. A kennel air purifier is a 'must have' for keeping the air smelling fresh and clean when prospective clients enter your facility. Here are 5 features your kennel air purifier needs to have if it is to be effective. 1. HEPA Filter-A kennel air purifier with a high efficiency particle arresting (abbreviated as HEPA) filter by definition is designed to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles bigger than .3 micron. A micron is defined as one millionth of a meter. This means your purifier would be able to remove hair, and fur, and the smaller and invisible dander that often clings to these larger particles. How does this help your kennel? In your kennel the level of dander can be incredibly high because of the number of pets that are in your facility. Without proper filtration some clients may not be able to stay long enough to see all that you offer because the high dander count may trigger allergies and asthma. Keeping the dander count low with constant filtration will make many of your human clients more comfortable. If they like your place, they will feel good about leaving their beloved pet in your care. On the other hand, a kennel that has a high amount of dander and other particulates may cause perspective clients to experience sneezing, watery eyes, and other uncomfortable symptoms which would most probably cause them not to stay very long or leave their companion with you. 2. Filter for Urine Odor-Urine odor is a fact of nature, and when you have a large number of animals in an indoor space, urine odor is a problem unless you take a proactive approach to eliminating it. An effective kennel air purifier needs to have a filter that is specifically designed to remove urine odor. Eliminating urine odor and having your air smell fresh and clean makes a great first impression, and even though first impressions aren't the only impressions your customers will have of your kennel, a kennel air purifier that provides fresh clean air when they enter can only help. 3. Ability to Run 24 Hours-Since you are likely to have boarders 24 hours a day, you need a kennel air purifier that can run 24 hours a day. Look for a high capacitor motor in the technical specifications of the purifier you are considering. This is a sure sign that your cleaner can and will run 24 hours, and do it safely, efficiently and economically. Turning an air purifier on and off means that the air purifier is constantly playing catch up from the odors that have been created while it was off. The result is that you use more power, and have air that doesn't ever smell fresh. So being able to run the cleaner constantly is one of the most important features to have. 4. Filter and Purifier Warranty- Check to make sure your purifier has a substantial warranty. A 5 year warranty is a healthy warranty and indicates that the company is confident of its product's longevity. And while many purifiers come with warranties, we suggest looking for a cleaner that has a filter warranty as well. Why? A prorated filter warranty means that you will always be able to replace your filter for a substantial percentage off the purchase price as long as you are within 5 years of purchase. This offers you considerable savings, and again indicates the company's confidence in its product. 5. Easy Filter Replacement Procedure-Read the online manual, or call the company to ask about the filter replacing procedure. Choosing a cleaner with an quick and easy filter replacing procedures means less down time for maintenance, and air that smells fresh all the time. Make sure that you can order replacement filters easily and that the company you're dealing with is reputable and is likely to continue to offer filters for the purifier you choose.
