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.

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.

The use of portable HEPA filter systems in homes has been a common process for many people with airborne allergies. However, most of the portable HEPA units use a very minimally effective filter media which is more like a high end furnace filter than a true HEPA filter.

True HEPA filters are very dense and have a high resistance thus needing a fairly powerful blower/motor assembly to pull the air through them. 90%  of all the portable HEPA filters or Air Purifiers on the market use small fans with very small blowers and usually cost between $35.00 to $90.00. In reality, a portable HEPA unit with a True HEPA filter should cost around $300.00 to $500.00. These units use more power but also move more air and are much more effective at removing small, sub-micron particles than the less expensive units.

It is also important to make sure the unit says it is using a True HEPA filter. HEPA filters cost between $90.00 and $150.00 each, so any air purifier under $200.00 is probably no using HEPA filter media. If your situation requires the removal of fine airborne allergens, then you really need to purchase the high end HEPA 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.

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 vast majority of Americans are aware that much of the products they use are made in other countries other than the US. Mostly believing it to be China. While 63% of all products in the world are made in China, other countries including Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand also produce a lot of products sold here in the US. The biggest reason…the cost of labor, laws and rules.

It is now very expensive to manufacture products here in the US due to a number of reasons. First and foremost, is the cost of labor. The lack of cheap labor and the advent of the tech market have driven prices skyward. In truth, it is no longer possible to find any type of labor for the minimum wages now supported by the US. $20.00 an hour for working at McDonalds is now the norm. In manufacturing it is even more challenging as many of the young people have stayed away from any type of manufacturing job or job training and opted to be on their own or work from home for higher wages in the tech world.

And, all of the experienced individuals that worked in manufacturing have died or retired and most of them have not be replaced. For every 7 trained, skilled labor individual who retires, only one individual takes their place. In addition, there are very few, if any, new manufacturing plants being built in the US and those that are being built are primarily microchip manufacturing plants.

If you ask 100 people if they are involved in the development or process of putting a manufacturing plant in place, 99.5 people will tell you no. All the manufacturing and much of the R&D is being done overseas. This is the current future of the US as it moves into a more Technology driven economy. 

Pure Air Systems began manufacturing high end, commercial grade, fan-powered HEPA based air filtration systems in 1985. Today, that company is 39 years old and one of only 3 plants in the world making these types of industrial grade HEPA systems.

Made in China rhetoric is a constant discussion point on every social media platform, podcast and political talk show and newspaper in the US. What is interesting, is the fact that even though we know this is the case, we continue to buy products made in China and on the opposite side not doing anything in the US. to change that fact. Yes, there are some products assembled here in the US and some major military and government contracts require made in the US for their purchases, but for the most part almost everything we use on a daily basis has some or all of its components fabricated in China.

The issues between China and the US are food for fodder during this next Presidential Election cycle. One has the idea that there will be some significant changes in our economic relationship, but most people believe this is just talk as the US really has no leverage in the manufacturing wars. We are not seriously looking at providing any funding, public or private, to build manufacturing plants here in the US. The only new plants being built at the Chip Manufacturing Plants in Ohio, and those are for the automotive and tech sectors. 

Most new start ups are moving in the direction of AM, AI, UI. UX and Robotics. There is little money in making toasters, blenders and clothing, etc. It takes a lot of space to produce high volume parts and products and the initial capital outlay has a long term payback. Not something today’s investors are interested in. 

Pure Air Systems uses high end components and metal housings for their product line. All of their components are made in the US with the exception of the variable speed drive motors. So, in essence, about 70% of the parts in the systems are made in the USA. Many of our suppliers are looking to purchase from overseas operations as the cost of labor continues to rise in the US>

Have a customer who thinks they know more about your product than you do and can site facts from 20 years ago to prove it? And, they want answers to un-answerable questions? Welcome to the new world of main street business. Yes, customers can be down right nasty and intractable and it is getting worse. This is not always the case, but if you are dealing with a more senior individual there is a better chance of having a major discord with this individual.

One of the reasons for this challenge is the fact that many people now have to either converse with a Bot on their computer or talk to an individual thousands of miles away with a foreign accent that they can’t understand.

Go back 30 years and customer service was the epitome of many companies and they touted their ability to deal with your issues like you were part of their family. And, many companies were family owned and operated or the corporations actually had compassion for their customers. Money was not the only object. Repeat business was king.

Today, you need to have a phone, computer or tablet to order, track, pay for and return any item or service. In many cases major transactions can take place  like selling or buying cars, homes, boats, etc. without ever talking to a human being. Airline reservations are done on-line as is booking hotels, buying groceries and getting your plumbing fixed. If you throw in the use of AI, there are operations where you are having a conversation with a computer generated program that is as effective as using a human being. 

Pure Air Systems got its start in 1985 with the old fashioned process of going door to door and making products that worked extremely well. Every aspect of the selling process as face to face and person to person on the phone. ( corded version) If you needed a replacement part we had it in stock and it was sent out the next day and a follow up call was made to make sure the customer was satisfied with the replacement. Extended conversations with customers on how to set up or operate the equipment were common place. There were no bar codes or QR codes to use to access a website. 

Today, Pure Air Systems relies heavily on its website to promote and educate potential customers as well as offer detailed descriptions of their line of HEPA based air filtration systems. Customer service is still done verbally via phone of email and the products are still made with the best performing parts available on the market.
