In 1985 and idea to use commercial grade, fan-powered HEPA based air filtration systems was devised by Don Musilli. The concept of using a large HEPA system in conjunction with a standard, forced air, heating/cooling system was never tried before. Normally, contractors just installed a standard pleated air filters or in the early days they used electronic air cleaners, which never really worked that well.

When Pure Air Systems was formed it was a long work in progress and working out of a home office with one old computer and the first use of what was to become the internet as we know it now, but then it was primarily only a landing page and you either used AOL.com or Yahoo.com. Both start-ups. Years later as PAS grew we formed our own URl and found that the use of the World Wide Web had become a very important part of our marketing program which provided almost 60% of our sales leads. 

10 years later after working out of our home and garage we finally had enough money to purchase some land and build a 9,000 square foot building and starting designing different sized units and our sales started to really grow as we added some systems that were four times the size and power of our original 600H unit. By 1999 we started to use the new GE ECM variable speed drive motors that were capable of running at any speed and could be used anywhere in the world. 

By the early 2000’s we had developed 7 different systems that could be used either as stand-alone units or attached to an existing HVAC system and for almost any commercial, industrial, consumer or institutional application. We had to develop a new way to package the units as we had decided to divide each unit into two sections. One housed the blower/Motor and controls and the other half had the three filters. A polyester ring panel prefilter, a carbon media filter and a true commercial grade, certified HEPA filter. We could also use higher grade SULPA  filters for certain applications.

In 2006 Pure Air Systems was sold to Dave Hearns who continues to provide the same high quality systems that now incorporate programmable ECM motors with customer options to change the system air flow and time to run on the fly.

There are thousands of ads and videos on all of the social media platforms that prescribe some unique drugs, diets, exercise routines or equipment that will help remedy what ever aliment you might be dealing with. They promote simple solutions to complex problems and we all know that never really works.

Pure Air Systems as been in the commercial air filtration business since 1985 and was one of the first companies to offer true, commercial grade, fan powered HEPA based air filtration to the residential market. The PAS units include metal framed systems that include variable speed motors with digital controllers that range in volume from under 50 CFM to 2,000 CFM. All of the systems can be used independently as stand-alone units or attached to existing HVAC ducted systems. PAS also offer a true Portable unit that can be used in any room and taken with you on trips if necessary.

The fact that all homes, especially new ones have been made to be more air tight creates an environment where airborne particles, including bacteria and some viruses remain airborne a long time and are constantly being recycled by our HVAC unit. And, the air filter that is placed either in your main HVAC air handler or those place on the return air vents in you home are only designed to handle very large particles, usually in the size range of 100 microns and larger. 

True commercial grade HEPA filters, like the ones used in the PAS units. are designed to capture 99.99% of all particles 0.3 microns and larger and become even more efficient over time. Since most harmful bacteria are 10 Microns and smaller and viruses smaller that than that and will pass through a standard face mask like those used in the pandemic.

Searching for that special tool or clothing article on Amazon you will find hundreds of options with tools and clothes of many styles, materials and designs. One would think that with all those choices that some of those items would be made right here in the USA. While many items do not indicate their country of origin, when your Amazon package is delivered and the product is removed, 99% of the time made in China or some other foreign country is stamped on the label or item itself.

With the exception of most medical equipment, some machinery, autos and airplanes, the majority of everything else we use in our daily lives is made outside the US or with some components from outside the U.S. It has become more expensive and more challenging to compete with products from other countries as they have greatly improved their technologies or developed something we never made in the US. OLED TV’s are an example. All of this technology was developed in South Korea.

The US has lost most of its’ experienced automotive, aerospace and scientists to old age and retirement. The newer generations are much more into the digital markets such as AI, AR and VR headsets, cell phones, computers for gaming, specialized sports equipment and some new automotive technologies.

Pure Air Systems, was started in 1985 selling modified HEPA based air filtration systems for the residential market and over the past 39 years is had added 7 new systems to its line of high end fan powered air filtration systems with 90% of the components being made in the US. Their systems are now sold all over the world and they are one of only 3 companies in the world that currently manufacture these types of systems.

As the world continues to adjust to the changing economy, one thing is certain, the companies and countries with the most innovative technologies will have stronger economies, better job opportunities and better way of life. If you look at the new wave of AI, Robotic, LLM and Additive manufacturing processes you are looking at the beginning of a new technology revolution that will help create new businesses and business opportunities for people around the world.

It is interesting that innovation research is being done in many countries around the world and the U.S. is trying to stay in the hunt. New technologies usually come from a younger generation of entrepreneurs and youth oriented business models. Almost all of the older technology that the senior generation is familiar with is going through major changes or is being discarded for the more innovative processes. In addition, the Stock Market is finds many of these innovative companies and start-ups to be more attractive for their investors than some of the old line companies that are in the twilight of their business innovation cycle.

Many of the older generation is seeing their old ways of doing everything being changed or eliminated, much to their chagrin. While the younger generation is adapting to new technology at a blazing speed, many of the senior population is still having challenges using the new cell phones and computers. It is truly a sign of the times.

Pure Air Systems has been making high end, commercial grade HEPA based air filtration systems since 1985 and is now one of only three companies in the world still making this type of metal framed, fan-powered HEPA filtration systems for the international market.

Artificial Intelligence is now mainstream and the use of this technology has reached global proportions. Companies, research centers, Universities, military establishments, social media operations, financial institutions, etc, have all incorporated various versions of AI into their day-to-day operations. And, they are all seeing the benefits in the use of AI. In fact, most companies are new facing an up-hill battle in the area of advanced technologies if they have not incorporated AI into their mainstream operations.

Companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Boeing, NASA, Airbus, GM, Ford and other major manufacturers are seeing huge benefits in equipment design and enhanced processes never before achieved using the old add-on technology process. The quantum leaps in Bio Chemical science are a result of using AI which have now altered the way certain drugs are now being modified for use in more applications with better results.

The Chinese have been using this technology to try to compete with SpaceX to offer reusable rockets for less expensive launches of their satellites. The European countries are now using AI in almost every aspect of their business economy and especially with their continued efforts in the reduction of green house gases.

The manufacturing world is awash with new concepts and techniques. The use of AI along with Additive Manufacturing and Robotics have enabled many start-ups and small product development companies to offer better products that meet or exceed the expectations of their current customer base.

The use of AI in every aspect of their company structure, from marketing to customer support and product enhancement have created a need, in many cases, for a different breed of employee. In many cases their current base of employees don’t have the expertise to use many of these new concepts. Also, the addition of  VR and AR technologies are providing for collaboration with experts outside their own company to speed up the development of new products and get them into the market faster. The world of technology is now moving at light speed.

Many companies that use CNC machines for making steel parts have additive 3D printers or Additive Manufacturing  do both prototyping and in many cases actual manufacturing in lieu of their CNC machines. This affords faster design changes and the ability to make products that can’t be made using CNC operations.

Pure Air Systems is a manufacturer of high end, commercial grade, fan powered HEPA air filtration systems for both the residential, commercial, industrial and institutional markets. They have been in business since 1985 and were one of the first companies in the US to incorporate ECM motors into all of their systems. They now offer systems with complete digital and computer controlled motors to handle every type of air filtration application.

In today’s global, fast-paced, ever changing business world, companies that last longer than 10 years is unusual. Typically newly formed successful companies are either acquired shortly after they become public or they merge with some similar technology firm to expand their customer base quickly.

Pure Air Systems began its journey in 1985 with one HEPA filtration system that was large and difficult to use or install. HEPA systems were just beginning to be accepted in the residential and commercial markets and the cost of making the systems was steep due to the fact that the housings had to be all metal and the HEPA filters, motors and fans were all commercial grade components that required large quantity purchases to obtain any type of cost reduction. Even at that, the first unit, Model 600H cost over $600.00 in components and another $50.00 in assembly time.

Marketing the systems was somewhat difficult in that the use of computers to promote products was somewhat limited so mail and direct marketing in the form of door-to-door selling was incorporated. It wasn’t until a year later that Pure Air Systems set up it’s first and only URL. www.pureairsystems.com . The ability to use the internet to promote the systems allowed for quick introduction of a unique and highly sought after HEPA air filtration system.

By 1992 PAS had set up a series of distributors and added two more systems to its portfolio and began to outsource its production and assembly to a company in northern Indiana. By 1995 PAS had enough business to start looking for a place of its own to produce the systems and have enough space to store all the replacement filters necessary to feed the hundreds of units now in place across the U.S. In 1998 PAS broke ground on a new 9,000 sq.ft. building. In 1999 the move into the new building allowed for more R&D which produced 4 more HEPA unit designs along with a brand new HEPA portable that was one of the best on the market. 

By 2001 PAS was selling seven different models of its fan powered, HEPA based, ECM motor driven air filtration systems. The use of the new GE ECM motors allowed for use with 120/240 50/60Hz power. Thus allowing for the use in overseas markets which expanded the companies footprint out the U.S. for the first time. 

Today, Pure Air Systems is one of only three companies in the world that make this high performance, commercial grade HEPA air filtration system. The units now range in volume from 50 CFM to 2000 CFM and use programable ECM motors with high end digital controllers.

It has been repeated many times online and in articles in every type of publication that we tend to not become fearful of things we can not see. And yet, the biggest challenge we have as humans is the transmission of airborne viruses that affect everyone multiple times in their lives. From the yearly Flu bug to Covid 19 and the Common Cold, all of these airborne viruses are constantly searching for a warm host to stay alive and grow.

For many of the airborne viruses there are anti-viral shots available to either eliminate your chances of getting it or minimizing the symptoms if you do get sick. For some reason, there are a number of groups ( all non-medical ) that constantly provide warnings about the various bad side affects of getting injections for all types of viruses. This has created a huge problem for the medical industry as more people are getting sick and in many cases requires them to be hospitalized. In many cases these anti-immunization groups even target mumps, measles and now polio. 

Yes, viruses are extremely small and not visible with the naked eye, but they can be and are significantly reduced or eliminated using filters such as HEPA and SULPA filters. These filters capture airborne viruses and are used in medical facilities around the world. Some of these HEPA systems are available to homeowners and small businesses here in the U.S. Since Covid, the increase use of these type of systems in commercial and institutional environments has doubled. However, with the public continuing to deny the value of anti-virual serems, the challenge to the public will continue to grow.

Pure Air Systems manufactures a line of HEPA and Carbon based, fan powered air filtration systems. These range in capacity from 50 CFM to 2000 CFM. These all metal units utilize the latest in variable speed motor and digital controllers to meet any application.

You can either put you head in the proverbial sand like the Ostrich and believe this is not a problem or grasp the real issue of this virus being around forever and changing and adapting to the new vaccines that are currently on the market. Too many people use other methods of gathering data, especially social media, on health care issues rather than from their medical professionals. This never ceases to amaze me.

Viruses are extremely small and very light and can travel up to 20 feet or more when expelled from a human mouth. While we realize many of the face masks are not capable of removing all of the viruses, they are a great barrier non the less. 

The use of air filters in your home or office are minimally capable of removing very little of the airborne viruses. The only air filters that can do that are HEPA filters and those are normally used in hospitals, surgery rooms and chip manufacturing. However, there is a company that has been around for over 37 years that makes a HEPA air filtration system that can be attached to any HVAC ducted residential system and even used as a stand-alone unit. 

Pure Air Systems has been making commercial grade HEPA and Carbon based air filtration units since 1985. These units range in air flow capacity from 50 CFM up to 2,000 CFM and come in seven different configurations. Over the past 37 years these units have been used in a wide range of air  filtration applications around the world. Pure Air Systems is now one of only 3 companies in the world that make this type of fan powered, HEPA based air filtration system.

When Pure Air Systems was established in 1985, there were a number of companies selling HEPA like and HEPA type air filtration systems. Many of these were used in the Asbestos Abatement projects that were prevalent at that time. In fact, Pure Air Systems was a spin-off from HEPA unit designed for abatement but never got into production.

The model 600H unit was a unit with a prefilter, carbon media filter and true commercial grade HEPA filter with a 1/3HP GE motor and Lau Blower. It was in one large section which was subsequently broken into two sections. This was the beginning of the PAS Line of HEPA systems. 

As the popularity of the 600H unit grew, PAS introduced the new ECM motors from GE to make the HEPA system available as a stand alone unit as well as using variable speed motors that were then being introduced by all the HVAC companies.

By 1999 PAS had grown the line from one unit to seven different systems including the new portable unit. It has also moved into a new 9,000 square foot building. As of this date, 90% of the units are still built with parts made in the USA and it is now one of only 3 companies in the world that make this type of HEPA with the size and flexibility in size range and air flow control.
