In 1985 Pure Air Systems was founded to produce true HEPA filtration systems for the residential, commercial, institutional, medical and industrial markets. The first HEPA system, the model 600H, was 16″ x16″ x 34″ high and weighed 97 lbs. That unit is still made today under the new name 600HS.

Over the years PAS made larger units to handle larger areas and applications and also develoed a smaller portable HEPA unit that is 13″ x  13″ x 21″ long and weighs 30lbs. There are now two versions of that large, portable unit.

In 2018 PAS embarked on an R&D project to develop a small, in-car true HEPA unit that also included a combination prefilter/carbon media wrap. The round HEPA filter is rated at 99.99% at 0.3 microns and will remove particles as small as 0.12 microns. The carbon will remove odors and the prefilter removes the larger particles keeping the HEPA to remove only the sub-micron particulates.

The CAR HEPA prototype is 5.5″ square and 7″ long. It weighs approximately 3 lbs and uses a small, whisper quiet fan that runs off the 12 volt plug ( or USB) in your car. PAS is also in the process of developing a HEPA Holder so you can mount you HEPA in a stratgic location for best air filtration results.

While some very high end cars ( Tesla, Mercedes and some BMW) have high efficiency cabin air filtration, most vehicles have little or none. The CAR HEPA unit will significantly reduce the levels of harmful, sub-micron particulates. These particles include bacteria, airborne allergens and some viruses.

In order to speed up the development process PAS is utilizing 3D Modeling and 3D Printing to create the housing for the unit. The first iteration took just one week to develop and now some tweaking of the housing size is in the works. It may be that the CAR HEPA will be produced on 3D Printers and they could be individualized or personalized with your name and choice of colors.

My name is Don Musilli. I started Pure Air Systems in 1985 and then sold it in 2006. I continue to consult for PAS and write their blog and control their Twitter account. I also, on occasion, make changes to the website. The company is now almost 26 years old and has been a major player in offering commercial grade, high performance HEPA and Carbon based filtration systems for the commercial, institutional, industrial and residential markets.

I currently reside in Englewood, Florida where I write blogs and do social media marketing for a number of clients.
