Pure Air Systems is now 32 years old and is one of the remaining few companies in North America that still makes high end, commercial grade, fan powered HEPA air filtration systems. These systems are designed to provide true HEPA filtered air in a wide variety of applications including but not limited to: commercial, industrial, institutional, medical and residential.

Pure Air Systems makes only one type of HEPA based air filtration system so the residential customer receives the same identical system as the hospital or laboratory. These systems are designed to last a long time and run for years with minimal maintenance other than changing any one of the three filters at regular intervals.

There are a number of models available designed to fit any application and with the ability to be either installed as stand-alone units or being attached to the return air side of any HVAC system; commercial or residential.

Pure Air Systems is now the Air Apparent in this industry as there is only one other company in Europe that makes fan powered HEPA air filtration systems with the ability to handle air flows from less than 50 CFM up to 2000 CFM in a small housing configuration. In addition, the PAS units utilize the newer ECM variable speed drive motors that are rated 120/240 volt 50/6 Hz motors so they can be used anywhere in the world.

Each system has a prefilter, carbon media filter and true HEPA  filter. The systems can be configured to have all Carbon media with one prefilter for applications where only odors and gases are present. Or, they can be configured with two prefilters for applications where high levels of large particulate are present.
