Blueair 203

Product Description

Like other Blueair models, the 203 unit filters the air using the company’s patented HEPASilent technology and 3-stage filtration. On its lowest speed, the 203 traps 99.97% of particles sized at 0.1 micron using a combination of mechanical and electrostatic processes. Each unit comes with a standard particle filter kit. For additional smoke or odor control, an optional SmokeStop Filter Kit is available for purchase.

• Particle Filter – This filter is made of polypropylene and a small amount of activated carbon. Best for removing allergens, the filter is capable of collecting dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander, mold spores, and other airborne particles that can easily trigger symptoms. The filter’s activated carbon component is effective in removing some odor and gas traces.
• SmokeStop Filter – This polypropylene particle filter is enhanced with less than half a kilogram (less than a pound) of activated carbon. Best for use in spaces where odors and gaseous pollutants are present, this filter removes cigarette smoke, cigar smoke, and other volatile organic compounds – in addition to allergen particles.

To help maximize filtration effectiveness, the 203’s internal ionizer exerts a negative charge over incoming particles, which helps them become more readily captured in the filter. To maintain the unit’s optimal air-cleaning performance, remember to replace the filter every 3 to 6 months. The unit’s magnetic filter replacement indicator will remind you when it’s time.

Quiet Operation

Specialized materials, such as noise-muffling galvanized steel and precision Swedish engineering help this Blueair air purifier clean your indoor air without the noise associated with less-advanced units. On its lowest setting, the sound of the 203 model is softer than a desktop computer (32 decibels). Its HEPASilent filter system allows it achieve exceptionally quiet operation without sacrificing performance. Because the filter traps particles using both mechanical and electrostatic means, room air flows more freely throughout the unit, cleaning the air without trapping it. Since air passes easily through the lightweight filter, the unit’s internal fan does not have to work as hard or as loud to generate air movement.

Kind To The Environment

Energy Star-rated, the Blueair 203 uses significantly less power than other units, which means you can run the system constantly without seeing a steep jump in your electricity consumption. In addition, the 203 emits zero ozone and is constructed of environmentally friendly parts and materials to help protect both you and the planet. The Particle and SmokeStop filters are made of non-toxic polypropylene, which ultimately breaks down into water and carbon dioxide when burned. These filters also contain no triclosan or other harmful chemical additives. The air purifier’s galvanized steel housing is powder-coated for endurance and protection, without introducing the possibility of chemical outgassing. Lastly – while they are built for years of effective use – all Blueair air purifiers, including the 203, are designed to be disassembled and the components sorted and recycled.

Other attractive features of the Blueair 203 Air Purifier include:

• Maximum room coverage of 4.95 m² ( 175 ft²)
• Easy-to-use manual control knob
• 3 selectable fan speeds
• Easy-change filter
• High CADR scores in its class for dust (115), smoke (115), and pollen (115)
