Water & Air – Filter Systems News

By now you’re probably aware of the benefits of humidifiers, which provide additional humidity and moisture in your home, but you may not be as aware of the importance of dehumidifiers. A dehumidifier reduces the levels of moisture and humidity within your home. An excess of humid air in your home can results in the growth of mold or mildew, which can negatively impact your health. A quality dehumidifier can help regulate humidity in your residence, providing both comfort and preventing health risks.

At Filters Fast, we currently offer the GeneralAire 1300 Whole House Dehumidifier. This whole house dehumidifier is versatile enough to fit into any home and includes optional wall-mount control. This unit operates by drawing in the moistness from your indoor air through its inlet duct and then passes that air to its filter, which reduces airborne contaminants. The filtered air and moisture is then passed out of the unit through a drain hose.

This GeneralAire dehumidifier offers quiet operation, so that you can rest comfortably in your home while excess moisture is carried away. This unit is also energy efficient, saving you money on energy costs. GeneralAire dehumidifiers also offer optional wall-mounted control, an automatic defrost system, and a nylon mesh filter for reducing airborne particulates that can be re-cleaned and re-used.

If your home suffers from an excess of moisture, then look into a dehumidifier which can help alleviate the symptoms caused by too much humidity.

Having clean water is a major concern and in some areas of the world people don’t have access to it. That’s why Filters Fast is making a commitment to bring clean water to those parts of the world that need fresh water. We are launching the W3 campaign, a unique water charity designed to raise money and draw awareness.

Filters Fast is specifically making a difference by walking. Several of our employees are making a corporate effort to do their part for this water charity by using what’s known as a “Trekdesk” to log each single mile they walk, then converting each mile into a donation that will go towards W3 and providing clean water access to those areas lacking it.

A TrekDesk is a combination desk and treadmill, allowing users to work out while they work. Instead of sitting all day you can walk, which will allow you to log miles that can be used towards our W3 charity. And with the start of a New Year, it’s a perfect time to reach your resolution of being healthy and getting into shape. W3 is an easy way to stay involved and also allows you to get in shape while helping out those less fortunate.

In addition, it’s a good idea to get your children involved. Childhood obesity is becoming a major issue, so encouraging your children to participate in this initiative will allow them to help a good cause, while also keeping them physically fit and active. We also invite high school, minor league and major league sports teams, college sororities and fraternities, and any other types of organizations to join this initiative.

Check out our W3 promotional video for more information:

Even though it’s mid-January it’s not too early to start thinking about the approaching allergy season. Whether you suffer from itchy eyes, sneezing, dry throat, or congestion, one possible solution is to change the air filters in your home. Normally we view outdoor air as the source of a lot of allergy or respiratory problems, but indoor air often has many contaminants that can negatively impact your health.

At Filters Fast, we sell several air filters that can prepare you for the upcoming allergy season:

The Filters Fast MERV 13 Return Grille Air Filter – 5″ is 5 inches thick and comes in several different sizes to match your home. This return grille air filter reduces dust, dirt, pet dander, mold spores, and bacteria, and at least 90% of all particles between 1 and 10 microns in size. Measuring 5 inches in depth, this air filter fits standard 1 inch size and then extends 4 inches into your return, resulting in higher quality filtration.

The Universal Room Air Conditioner Filter removes harmful airborne allergens from your indoor air, including pollen, mold spores, bacteria, dust mites, and pet dander. If you’re suffering from asthma, allergies, and/or respiratory problems, this room vent filter is an ideal choice for your home. This universal filter is cut-to-fit and easy to use around your home.

With new air filters from Filters Fast, you can be prepared for the coming allergy season!

2011 is quickly drawing to a close, which means that 2012 is right around the corner. With the start of a new year we often think about what personal improvements we can implement to make our lives better or to leave a stronger footprint on the world. Have you thought about what resolutions you’d like to make? If you’re unsure, then USA.gov has listed several of the most common New Year’s Resolutions, which include:

Drink Less Alcohol; Eat Healthy Food; Get a Better Education; Get a Better Job; Get Fit; Lose Weight; Manage Debt; Manage Stress; Quit Smoking; Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle; Save Money; Take a Trip; Volunteer to Help Others

At Filters Fast, we can help you get started on achieving your New Year’s Resolutions.

Getting fit and losing weight is one of the most popular resolutions and with repeated trips to the gym you’ll need to make sure you stay hydrated. That’s why you’ll need the Vapur Anti Bottle Water Bottle – Blue 16 oz., a reusable Vapur water bottle that features a revolutionary space-saving design. Vapur water bottles are extremely flexible and almost entirely collapsible. They are designed to fit where ordinary water bottles do not, and when empty they will easily fit in your pocket, backpack, purse, briefcase, etc.

Quitting smoking is a difficult and rewarding task, so you want to make sure you remove all temptation and all remnants of the smell. That’s why we recommend the Filters Fast MERV 8 Odor Killer Odor Filter 6 Pack, which is the perfect replacement air filter to eliminate smoke odors, cigarette odors, pet odors, gases and other contaminants from your indoor air. While many standard activated carbon odor filters or charcoal odor filters remove odors from your air, the Odor Killer uses Gray Matter, an activated granular carbon material impregnated between two sheets of MERV 8 filter media.

Eating healthy food is sometimes difficult when you’re busy or always on-the-go, but the Klean Kanteen Wide Mouth Insulated Bottle – 12 oz. makes things much easier. The Klean Kanteen 12 oz bottle features a wide mouth to accommodate ice cubes, soup, stew, fruit, and much more, while the extra insulation helps to keep your drink cold or your food warm – it insulates hot beverages and food for up to 6 hours as well as cold beverages up to 24 hours. Now you’ll always have the option of carrying healthier items.
