no need to replace air filters any longer

Patricia
this is good for those who are sensitive
to airborne particles.
clean and reuse your air filters as often
as you like, rather than buy and replace.

Electrostatic Air Filters

Air Commander electrostatic air filters are 10 times more efficient then the standard disposable filter. By switching to a permanent electrostatic furnace filter, the air inside your home will be cleaner and fresher. Our furnace filters are electrostatically charged to trap up to 94% of the dust and allergens in your home.

Just easily wash the filter every 1-3 months and put it back in place. The sturdy metal frame will stand the test of time. With a lifetime warranty and 100% money back guarantee, why not make the switch to a permanent air filter?

Really?  Electostatic Air Filters?  I'd think that these would be
bad for people sensitive to EMF... (and I used to live in a
house with one of these)

hmm... so do you think that the electrostatic factor
would travel through the house?

I'm just wondering if someone would react to the
high-voltage "zapping" that these things do... or
the negative ions that it generates.  Not sure
what wattage these things run at, or how much
noise they might add to the wiring throughout
the rest of the house.

I'm just saying that there is the potential for
problems... I don't have any past experiences
that would say they are a definite problem,
but I would certainly not buy one...

hmm...
my impression was that they are rather innert...
that air simply travels through them and the
dust in the air adheres to the filter.  ?  but then,
i don't know all that much about filters.  why
would they create negative ions or high voltage?  
i am curious.  thanks, marc.  
love, patricia

Oh wait, I'm sorry... when you said it was an electrostatic
furnace filter, I was thinking of the electronic devices that
go into your ducts and "zaps" pollutants with high
voltage.  These also have an element that you clean
out with water.

But yes, I just looked at the links, and I see that these
are FILTERS, not a piece of electronics, so my earlier
comments do not apply.  Sorry about that!

thanks for clarifying, marc.
i was worried for a bit.  
seems like a good thing, to have a reusable filter.
they are very expensive in the stores and you
have to buy them over and over and yet if they
can be cleaned, then i'd think people would be
more apt to keep them clean and have better
air.  i am sensitive to EMR, dust in the air, food
chemicals, etc... so i am always looking for
helpful gadgets.  :)  love, patricia

I had one of these years back and it was wonderful for my allergies. I wasn't nearly so sensitive to emf at the time though, so the static charge it builds up might bother someone, but I would think it would only be while they were taking it out, like static on socks from the dryer.
