Over the past 15 years, the construction methods for building homes have created an indoor environment that can create health issues for the homeowners. 50 years ago most homes were built with little understanding of how their construction techniques were making the homes a breading ground for bacteria and viruses to grow. The homes were fairly air tight and the HVAC systems, in many cases, created stagnant air flow throughout the home. This meant that the air in the homes was constantly being recirculated with little or no fresh air being introduced into the living space. The filters used in the HVAC units and return air grills were ( and still are ) general duty air filters designed primarily to remove large particles and minimize the static pressure resistance through the HVAC ducting systems.

Today’s new homes are required to have positive pressure in the living space whenever the HVAC systems are on. This means, that when you open the door or window ( when HVAC is working ) the air should push out or flow out of the house. This means there is little to no fresh air being introduced into the home. Couple this with the fact that much of furnishings in our homes are now made overseas and there are some materials used in the fabrication of the tables, sofa’s, beds and bedding, etc. that can off-gas into the living space for a long time. These chemicals, along with airborne particulate from the use of these items, can create a very unhealthy environment. 

Pure Air Systems, Inc. has been making HEPA and Carbon based, fan-powered, commercial grade air filtration systems since 1985. For over forty years PAS has provided air filtration systems that can be attached to the return air side of any HVAC unit and bring in outside, filtered fresh air. Be bringing in even a small amount of air such as 100 CFM ( cubic feet per minute ), this can add up to 124,000 cubic feet of fresh air into the home every 24 hours meaning  all the air in the house is being exchanged 1.3 times every 24 hour cycle. This helps to keep the home environment safer and cleaner for its occupants. It also helps to dilute the amount of gaseous pollutants that are always present in most homes.

Everyday there is information provided regarding the level of outdoor air quality and it’s potential affects. The levels can range from good to very poor. While some people with severe allergies or respiratory issues value this information, most people pay little attention to these outdoor air quality warnings because most of us are indoors the majority of our time. Either at home or work or both. And we believe that being inside is much safer and healthier. And nothing could be further from the truth.

Indoor air quality is maintained, primarily, by the HVAC systems that both heat and cool the interior spaces. These systems recirculate the air with very little fresh air being introduced into the home or building creating a somewhat stagnant indoor air environment. The air filters that are used in most HVAC systems are general duty filters designed to capture very large dust particles that are airborne. These filters don’t capture bacteria, viruses or various forms of allergens. This means that all the airborne particulate are being recirculated throughout the interiors spaces for everyone and anyone to breathe. 

Most new homes are now designed so that when the HVAC units are running the home is under positive pressure, meaning no outside air is being introduced into the interior spaces. While this keeps the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, the lack of outside fresh air creates a very unhealthy indoor environment. But there are solutions to this problem.

Pure Air Systems has been manufacturing HEPA and Carbon based, fan-powered air filtration systems since 1985. This US based company makes a line of systems that can be attached to the return air side of your HVAC unit and because they have their own fan assembly, they can be installed to introduce small amounts of fresh, filtered, outside air into the home or office. Since the HEPA filters are designed to capture bacteria and many types of viruses along with other allergens, The PAS units provide the perfect solution to keeping the air in your home or office clean and fresh.

The new import tariffs against China and other countries will make component parts and about 80% of what we purchase, more expensive. There is little truth in the fact that many of the companies that are overseas will now return to U.S. shores. Unfortunately, all the companies overseas are either owned and operated locally or are part of an international partner. For all intents and purposes, the U.S. has pretty much given up on building new manufacturing plants as most larger corporations would rather design products here and have them made somewh   ere else. Or if they are going to manufacture in the U.S. they will be using Robotics and few people. 

Intel, one of the largest and most profitable companies in the world, just stopped production of two huge Chip Manufacturing plants in Ohio because of slower chip demand and the fact they have lost over $186 Billion in their stock. They hired a new CEO and put the plants on hold until 2030. Making anything is very difficult, especially high end tech products. Apple designs their iPhones, etc, but they are all manufactured overseas. 

Pure Air Systems, Inc., an Indiana based corporation, has been manufacturing high end, fan-powered, HEPA based commercial grade systems since 1985. While some of its components are now manufactured overseas, 80% of the systems are made from American made components. And now, after 40 years. Pure Air Systems, is one of only 3 companies in the world that make this type of high end product. It is very difficult to compete in the world market when you are constantly searching for suppliers that can meet your demands at a price that allows you to make a profit.

Even though the industrial market has changed and many products are now made overseas, there are many small, specialty manufacturing operations that are using welders, sanders, chemical processes and semi-cleanroom manufacturing systems.

Most of these operations are done inside of small shops or buildings and all of them require some form of dust or gaseous odor control. The utilization of just using a exhaust fan to the outside is still used but in most cases this is no longer allowed as this effluent is going into other businesses or adjacent homes. In addition, when you are exhausting 300 cfm to 1000 CFM of air from inside the building you are throwing out cooled or heated air and have to replace that with make up air and that is expensive.

Pure Air Systems has been making fan powered, commercial grade HEPA and Carbon based systems since 1985 with air flow capacities from 50 CFM to 2000 CFM. These industrial, metal framed units can be used as stand-alone units or can be attached to existing, ducted HVAC systems. These units can be attached to a hood that is placed over or around the industrial process and capture the exhaust gases as well as the particulate and then have it brought back into the room either through a straight duct or into the existing HVAC inlet to be reheated or cooled.

The PAS units can also be fitted with just all carbon for gaseous fume removal or carbon and filters or all filters depending upon the specific application. This makes these units multi-functional and all filters are interchangeable. The motors are all variable speed, digitally controlled and programmable so you have a lot of flexibility for ventilation if your operation has more or less exhaust air for controlling the effluent.

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.

In essence, the Arrow of Time Theory states that we tend to look at future technology and processes by carrying things from the past and putting them into these future ideas and concepts. This is very limiting as it tends to eliminate advanced or out of the box thinking with the resulting new concepts having parts of our old thinking linked with them. This type of thinking is doomed for failure.

Today, the advancements being made in AI, Robotics, Additive Manufacturing, Electric Cars, and Space Exploration are changing and will change forever the way the world works. These advancements are, in part, designed to minimize or eliminate the use of human labor is areas where the work is dangerous or the ability to significantly reduce the amount of labor needed to do menial tasks. Electric cars area already making major inroads in the global market and AI is now being used in almost every facet of design, marketing, product development , medical and governmental operations. 

While many people worry about the speed of change, these new concepts and technologies will actually speed up both the speed of change but also the adaption of these new technologies. This is necessary for our civilization to thrive and survive.

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.

In a recent post we mentioned to advancement being made in the use of AI to enable the user to write anything and get answers in seconds. This includes asking the AI programs to write text, code, cad designs, updated modifications to an existing mechanical design, etc.

Today, ChatGPT4.0 was released with even better machine learning capabilities and easer to use prompts. It is evident that AI is going to be a monumental change in the way we do everything. Manufacturing processes will be streamlined and the enhancements to technology will be nothing short of astounding. 

Yes, there are skeptics out there, however, the adaption of AI is now fairly ubiquitous around the globe so companies that hesitate in adapting AI for their operations will very likely falter. In addition, the younger tech generation adapts very quickly to new technologies and through their constant interaction with friends and colleagues through the internet and social media, they will share their data and experiences. 

Companies are now looking for individuals that have some experience in using AI software along with some mechanical and technical skill sets. With the advent of AI, major advancements in Additive Manufacturing and the new Robotics technology, it is possible that the U.S. could somewhat get back into the the realm of manufacturing more of its everyday items rather than have them made overseas.

Pure Air Systems has been manufacturing commercial grade, high end, fan-powered, commercial HEPA air filtration systems since 1985. It is now one of only 3 companies in the world that manufacture this type of equipment. PAS has a line of HEPA systems ranging in capacity from 50 CFM to 2,000 CFM all using variable speed, digitally controlled motors that can be adjusted to work at any speed and can be computer controlled to meet specific needs of the customers.

The WW II generation is almost gone from this planet and the Vietnam era baby boomers are now retiring. The WW II generation was mostly responsible for the age of manufacturing in the US and the baby boomers brought the age of technology to the world. For the most part, manufacturing has been transferred to other countries and technology in all its forms is now the booming industry in America. Throw in the new age of AI and you begin to see an emergence of the new America. 

With the ability for many young people to make a living using digital technology, whether from an office of their home, there is little incentive to get into the trades or any type of manual labor, including the service sector. As a result, you are seeing a major shift from the older, more traditional work for a company for 40 years to work for 20 companies for 40 years, including working for themselves.

This shift is creating employment challenges for retail, the service sector and the trades. It is, in fact, the reason you are seeing so many restaurants go out of business and many retail store chains are either consolidating or shutting down, to the chagrin of the older generation. This transition has not yet hit its stride. By 2030, the industrial revolution as we know it will be replaced by Robotics, AI, Additive Manufacturing, working from home and a shift to fewer or no children in marriages. 

Pure Air Systems was founded in 1985 and is now one of three companies in the world that produces high end, commercial grade, fan powered HEPA based filtration systems. Initially, the first systems used the older, induction motors and then progressed to the Variable speed drive motors and now the new programmable VS motors. The use of analog controls have been replaced with digital controllers producing systems that can be matted to computer controlled operations.

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.
