'S' was a little small for my 8 yo, even though used the box guidelines to measure the size requirement.

I think adults will need L unless u have a slim face.


M size fits my sis (she's petite). L size for my parents. I find L a bit small for me :(

My mom initially used M but then her friends laugh at her say how come the mask so small lol

I find M size too small for me too even though the box measured me to the size. Already bought 2 boxes so don't feel like buying size L though

The RMB 26 HEPA that I was talking about earlier.

300 x 300 x 25mm
http://world.taobao.com/item/411632...&spm=a312a.7700846.0.0.Yor3Aq&_u=q1u0hcib642a

I use this for my Samsung AX40 during non hazy days and also the Sharp A28 and the Novita NAP 501.

Cut it into size. Please do not ask me how does one cut it into size with a scissors/penknife. You just cut. If there is a hole, you just plug.

If this is troublesome and not worth the time, just get the customised one. If this sounds crazy and afraid of bogus stuff, want a 1-stop solution, get an IQ Air....they even do filter deliveries etc.

This one has a measured efficiency of 98% @ 0.3 microns thereabouts, my own personal measurement.

haha the only reason i stopped looking at iqair is i need a few units in the house. although iqair can supply almost 100sqm, i cant close my doors.

those who find customize very troublesome. dunno or lazy to learn how to buy. scared fake.
just buy original from qoo10 while they still sell
8mths change one time.
its like $10 a mth. less den $0.40 a day
one less upsized meal a month should be able to right?

ty dujuan will affect the wind direction like ts vamco did?

Our Wed and Thur "record" haze was due to that.

48 hours of haze
24-hr PSI 322 peak, which is the hazardous range (24-hr PM2.5 concentration 272 ug/m3)
3hr PSI 341 peak
1hr PSI 404 peak
1hr AQI 404 peak
356 ug/m3 PM 2.5 peak. (West 25 Sep 0800h)

Also a record sustained level of above "300 ug/m3 concentration haze" on Thur evening (24 Sep) lasting till Friday morning (25 Sep), peaking at 353 ug/m3 at 0300h. This stretch of 13 hours long dense haze had an average PM2.5 concentration of 317.6 ug/m3. 13-hr PSI of 368.
Experienced by Singapore South.



Last point is a record breaker, do not think we experienced before in 2013, statistically. Probably came very close to that on 20th June 2013 though,

For me, I compare it this way. I don't think the IQ Air 250 can do 100 sqm.

IQ Air 250 439 m3/hr CADR
Samsung AX40 323 m3/hr

Electricals, noise all lose.

But IQ Air's HEPA can do below 0.1 microns, way into UFP territory.
0.001 microns tested. Regular HEPAs have not been tested that way, but in theory it should help somewhat, that is how HEPA in theory does, just at differing efficiencies. But in reality, at least over here, we have a few times lower number of UFPs in Singapore compared to PM0.1 to PM2.5 range on both regular and hazy days.

Samsung AX40 and other regular HEPA around high end range of 90+ % at 0.1 microns in real life (though China lab measured at 99% @ 0.1 microns)

IQ Air also have V5 cell and Multigas GC. But that is only if you have issues in VOC etc departments. Most homes do not, mine does not have it, from my basic measurements. It's also tested elsewhere in various studies that non-new houses in China/HK do not have such issues.

Of course, not having a problem (over the limit) does not mean that it's not there. So if you can afford it, why not? For me, I can't afford to run 4-5 IQ Airs and afford the annual costs, and I don't think it's an issue for me.

Smoke source is cigarette smoke. 0.15 to 0.5 microns range. 1000 ug/m3 down to 1 ug/m3 drop time taken

Actually if anyone is itchy hand, can just go customise a U17 filter, 125mm depth. The pressure drop hPa is quite high, hence 125mm depth.

Or get those cleanroom FFU. 200 dollars get one approx 500m3/hr. Goes up to 1100m3/hr. But need sea shipping. The 1st class borosilicate H14 to U17 filters are cheap. 600mm x 600mm x50 about rmb 200 for H14.

I guess maybe it's a high demand price. He knows that this region are getting smoked. He said that similarly whenever there is a sudden smog issue in China, everyone would scramble to buy air purifiers and filters at the last minute. This is despite that China has a perennial smog issue.

Probably we Singaporeans are not the only buyers, Malaysians are buying too and TB sends there as well. From Muar to KL to Kuantan, they are experiencing a worse haze problem than us. Maybe can try again later, there's no hurry.

Low period, I got my LG PS-R459 brand new in box, unopened, at $120 in early Sep. delivered.

LG LA-Q379SB at $60, 1 year old.

PS-S209, new... $80

Midea KJ30NV .... $100 brand new, delivered to doorstep. Bought on Sep 11th Polling day, 1 day after the first 268 ug/m3 peak haze wave (1h PSI 317), but that happened at 0300hrs while most folks were asleep so not many saw the seriousness.

etc....

Nearly got the Sharp KC-840 and KC-850 (predecessor of A40 and A50), 2 pcs at $100. lol!

Wah, 4 APs. U seems well prepared

Can I ask for hepa thickness, if custom made slighly thicken than original, that meant can be filtering more dust or last longer than the slim size?

Thanks

Increase total HEPA media area, reduce overall air resistance, increase airflow.

Really, WAH cool, no wonder you guys to be remove out charcoal and instead of hepa only

Stacking 2 thin HEPA is like series resistance, you ADD to the airflow resistance.

Having one think HEPA is like parallel resistance, you REDUCE the airflow resistance.

Besides, if you stack HEPA, the first one does all the hard work, second one jiak liao bee (remember that their filtration efficiency is independent of media thickness)
