We don't make antibacterial or \"kills bacteria\" claims about the filter; while the manufacturer manual uses that language, our store's standard is to require ISO 22196 or AATCC 100 antibacterial test reports before propagating those claims, and Ionmax doesn't currently publish that test report for this filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant — a note on ionisers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IonX-Shield ioniser stage produces trace ozone as a by-product (this is true of all negative-ion generators).

H13 captures ≥99.95% of particles at MPPS (the most penetrating particle size). It's one grade above H11 (≥95%) and one grade below H14 (≥99.995%).

For ozone-sensitive individuals, switch the ioniser off and run the unit on its 5 non-ioniser stages (pre-filter, H13 HEPA, carbon, TiO₂, UV-C).

The exceptional CADR (900 m³\/h) means rapid allergen reduction across very large rooms. Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia.

Because there's no compressor or refrigeration cycle, the unit works in cool conditions where compressor dehumidifiers slow down or stop — typically below about 15°C.

It's used to protect against spills and stains, but it doesn't form a barrier against dust mite particles because the sides and base of the mattress remain exposed. A mattress encasement — like this product — fully encloses all six sides of the mattress, with a three-sided U-shape zipper that closes to seal the mattress inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this hypoallergenic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word \"hypoallergenic\" doesn't have a defined Australian standard, so we're cautious about applying it as a product claim. What we can tell you is what the fabric measurably does: it's tightly-woven 100% cotton with a pore size of 2.8 microns, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, with enclosed binding seams and a Velcro-locked zipper closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat pore size is needed to limit dust mite allergens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust mite allergen particles typically measure 10–40 microns. Anything below about 10 microns will limit them. This product's fabric tests at 2.8 microns at maximum distribution — well below that threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 100% cotton rather than polyester or microfibre?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton is breathable, washable at higher temperatures, and feels like normal bedding. Polyester or polyurethane-backed encasements can feel hot or noisy. The trade-off is that cotton encasements typically cost more and aren't waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it make me hot or sweaty at night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — it's 100% cotton with no plastic or polyurethane backing, so it breathes naturally and doesn't trap heat the way plastic-coated protectors do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it noisy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Plastic-backed protectors crinkle when you move; this is fabric on both sides and is silent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it block bed bugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2.8-micron weave is too tight for bed bugs or their eggs to pass through, and the Velcro-locked zipper closure has no gaps. We describe this product primarily for dust mite use because that's the most common application, but the same physical barrier applies to bed bugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSomeone in my household has eczema or asthma — what can you tell me about the fabric?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can describe what the fabric does — it's a tightly-woven 100% cotton barrier with enclosed binding seams — but we don't make claims about how that affects any medical condition. If you have eczema, asthma, or another diagnosed condition, please speak with your GP or allergist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I wash it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6 months is generally sufficient when a standard mattress protector sits on top to absorb daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat temperature should I wash it at?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e60°C is the temperature most commonly cited for dust mite reduction in bedding, where the care label allows. Cooler washing still removes a high proportion of allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I tumble dry it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, on medium heat.

A quilt encasement fully encloses the doona inside a tightly-woven barrier fabric, with a zipper that closes to seal it inside. The encasement is what's used when the goal is reducing dust mite particles passing in and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this hypoallergenic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word \"hypoallergenic\" doesn't have a defined Australian standard, so we're cautious about applying it as a product claim. What we can tell you is what the fabric measurably does: it's tightly-woven 100% cotton with a pore size of 2.8 microns at maximum distribution, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, with enclosed binding seams and a zippered closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat pore size is needed to limit dust mite allergens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust mite allergen particles typically measure 10–40 microns.

The QT3 creates a personal HEPA-filtered breathing zone around your immediate space (~1.2 m radius) using USB-C power, so you can maintain consistent filtration wherever you sit. Best for travel, car, and desk use — not a whole-room purifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I take it on a plane?\u003c\/strong\u003e Check with the airline first but generally, yes. The 2000 mAh \/ ~7.4 Wh battery is well within most airline carry-on lithium-ion limits (typically 100 Wh). Pack it in your carry-on, not checked luggage. To run it during the flight, plug into the seatback USB (most international flights have USB-C or USB-A; bring the right cable) or run it on battery. Check your specific airline's policy on running personal electronics during the flight — some airlines restrict device use during takeoff and landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work in hotel rooms?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — this is one of its most common use cases. Place it on the bedside table at face height; plug into a USB-C charger to run overnight. Particularly useful in older hotels with carpet and dated AC systems, in rooms where the previous guest smoked, or in rooms where construction or cleaning chemicals have left residual VOCs (note: the QT3 is HEPA only, so it filters particulates rather than VOCs — for odours, the larger Sqair with carbon filter is the better choice).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work in my car?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the QT3 is designed for car use. Sit it on the centre console or passenger seat; plug into the car's USB-A or USB-C outlet (you may need a USB-A to USB-C adapter cable for older cars). Particularly useful for road trips with pets, in smoke-affected regions during bushfire season, or during heavy pollen seasons. The 4 ft \/ 1.2 m effective range covers the driver's face from a console position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it really effective for allergies?\u003c\/strong\u003e The H11 HEPA filter captures airborne dust, pollen, and pet dander to the EN 1822 H11 specification (≥95% at MPPS). For travellers who react to hotel-room dust or pet dander in shared spaces, having a HEPA-filtered breathing zone makes a real difference compared to no filtration at all. We don't claim it treats allergies — that's a medical question — but the construction is what most allergy-conscious travellers are after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow loud is it during a flight?\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 dB on low — quieter than the cabin background noise on most flights, so it's not noticeable to seatmates. 44.5 dB on high — about the level of a quiet office. Most travellers run it on low or mid in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the battery last?\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 hours on low \/ 3 hours on mid \/ 2 hours on high. For long-haul flights, plug into the seatback USB or a portable battery bank to run continuously. Recharge time is about 3 hours from empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often do I replace the filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e 800 hours of runtime, or about 6 months at 4 hours of daily use. Heavy travellers may go through filters faster; occasional travellers may stretch them longer. The unit has a built-in filter replacement indicator that auto-tracks runtime. Replacement filters are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it remove VOCs or odours?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — this is HEPA only, no carbon filter. For VOC removal (smoke, paint, off-gassing furniture, hotel air freshener), look at the Sqair with optional carbon filter. The QT3 is particle filtration only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace the H11 filter every ~6 months at 4 hrs\/day, or when the indicator signals.

users with large rooms or open-plan spaces from ~50–89 m² who need serious H13 HEPA filtration running consistently. Particularly suited to allergy sufferers with high allergen load (multiple pets, smokers in the household, recent renovation, bushfire-smoke regions); home offices, classrooms, clinical reception areas, retail backrooms; and anyone who wants commercial-grade durability rather than a residential-grade unit that wears out faster under continuous use. Strong choice for households where one purifier needs to cover the main living area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does it fit in the SmartAir range?\u003c\/strong\u003e Three tiers: \u003cstrong\u003eSqair\u003c\/strong\u003e (residential, single-room, up to ~40 m², CADR 300, $289). \u003cstrong\u003eBlast Mini Mk II\u003c\/strong\u003e (this unit; mid-size commercial, up to 89 m², CADR 743, $650). \u003cstrong\u003eBlast Mk II\u003c\/strong\u003e (full commercial, up to 114 m², CADR 950, $1,241). Choose by room size and duty cycle — the Blast Mini is rated for continuous commercial use; the Sqair is rated for residential use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quiet is 49 dB on high?\u003c\/strong\u003e 49 dB is similar to a quiet office hum or a refrigerator. Most users run the Blast Mini on medium (43 dB) for daily operation; high (49 dB) is used during periods of poor air quality. Low (36 dB) is suitable for overnight use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the HEPA filter last?\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 7–14 months \/ 3,360 hours at 8 hrs\/day, per Smart Air's official figures. Higher allergen load (heavy pets, smoke regions, ongoing renovation) compresses the lifespan; cleaner environments extend it. Replacement HEPA filters are sold separately. Vacuum or wash the pre-filter monthly to maximise HEPA life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need the carbon filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional. Add it if you have specific concerns about VOCs, smoke (wildfire, cigarettes, cooking), or strong household odours. For pure particle filtration (dust mites, pollen, pet dander, fine particulates), the H13 HEPA alone is sufficient. Note: fitting the carbon filter reduces airflow and CADR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it good for allergies?\u003c\/strong\u003e The H13 medical-grade HEPA filter captures airborne dust mite debris, pollen, pet dander, and mould spores at 0.3 microns per the EN 1822 H13 specification (≥99.95%). The washable pre-filter traps pet hair and large allergens before they reach the HEPA. The high CADR (743 m³\/h) means rapid allergen reduction across large rooms — useful in households with multiple pets, heavy pollen exposure, or bushfire smoke. We don't claim it treats allergies — that's a medical question — but the construction is what allergy-conscious households are after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it produce ozone?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The Blast Mini Mk II is ozone-free by design — no ioniser stage and no UV\/photocatalytic stage.

Replace the H13 HEPA filter when airflow noticeably reduces or after 7–14 months under typical use. The optional carbon filter should be replaced more frequently than the HEPA filter (typically 6–12 months). Wipe the metal cabinet with a dry cloth. Position the unit at least 15 cm (6 inches) from the wall to allow air intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/477Q8UHhViU?si=IdiTWKEfdy5BUWfa\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dustmiteallergysolutions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45070049509666,"sku":"CMKQ102.11","price":650.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/4207\/3634\/files\/5_-Blast-Mini-Front-View-1-scaled_jpg.webp?v=1683195714"},{"product_id":"smart-air-blast-mk-ii-air-purifier","title":"SmartAir Blast Mk II Commercial Air Purifier — H13 HEPA, CADR 950 | AU","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #B1E5F2; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 0 0 24px; background: #F5FBFD;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; font-weight: 700; font-size: 14px; color: #272635; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.05em;\"\u003eQuick specs\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; color: #272635;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(39, 38, 53, 0.08);\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCADR:\u003c\/strong\u003e 950 m³\/h (HEPA only, high)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(39, 38, 53, 0.08);\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHEPA grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e H13 medical-grade (≥99.95% at 0.3μm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(39, 38, 53, 0.08);\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuited to:\u003c\/strong\u003e very large spaces 80–130 m² — commercial, clinical, open-plan\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e HEPA approx. 21–42 months at 8 hrs\/day\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartAir Blast Mk II is Smart Air's commercial-grade flagship HEPA air purifier — built for very large spaces and households with serious allergen load.

Designed for 24\/7 operation with commercial-grade durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the Blast Mk II and the Blast Mini Mk II?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blast Mk II is the larger flagship — CADR 950 m³\/h, coverage 114–130 m², 21–42 month HEPA life. The Blast Mini Mk II is the smaller mid-size unit — CADR 743 m³\/h, coverage up to 89 m², 7–14 month HEPA life. Both share the same H13 HEPA construction; the Mk II's larger filter area extends both coverage and filter life. Choose the Mk II for 80 m²+ spaces; the Mini for medium-to-large spaces under 89 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quiet is 43 dB really?\u003c\/strong\u003e 43 dB on high is around the level of soft background noise in a quiet office. The Blast Mk II's noise advantage comes from its oversized filter area — a smaller filter at the same airflow would force the fan to push harder, which is louder. Most users run the Blast Mk II on medium (37 dB) or low (29 dB) for daily operation; high (43 dB) is for periods of poor air quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the HEPA filter last?\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 21–42 months at 8 hrs\/day — Smart Air's own product page suggests around 21 months; the underlying 10,300-hour spec equates to about 42 months at 8 hrs\/day. Continuous 24\/7 operation compresses the lifespan proportionally. Higher allergen load (heavy pets, smoke regions, ongoing renovation) shortens it; cleaner environments extend it. Replacement HEPA filters and optional carbon filters are sold separately. The pre-filter is washable and doesn't need replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it good for allergies?\u003c\/strong\u003e The H13 medical-grade HEPA filter captures airborne dust mite debris, pollen, pet dander, and mould spores at 0.3 microns per the EN 1822 H13 specification (≥99.95%). The exceptional CADR (950 m³\/h) means rapid allergen reduction across large rooms — useful for households with multiple pets, heavy pollen exposure, or bushfire smoke. The washable pre-filter traps pet hair and large allergens before they reach the HEPA. We don't claim it treats allergies — that's a medical question — but the construction is what allergy-conscious households are after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it produce ozone?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The Blast Mk II is Ozone-Free Certified.

for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Households with larger bedrooms, living rooms, or open-plan spaces up to 60 m² who want serious H13 medical-grade HEPA filtration without an ioniser stage. Particularly suited to allergy sufferers with shedding pets (the two washable pre-filters trap hair and dander first), households dealing with dust mite allergy, pollen, mould spores, or smoke; light sleepers (23 dB on low); families needing a child lock; and anyone sensitive to the trace ozone produced by ioniser-equipped purifiers. Strong fit for classrooms, home offices, and shared family rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I replace the filters?\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately every 12 months for the HEPA filters under normal household use (8 hrs\/day). The activated carbon filters typically last similar. The pre-filters are washable and don't need replacement — vacuum or rinse them monthly to extend the life of the HEPA filters. Replacement HEPA and carbon filters are sold separately as 2-packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow loud is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 dB on low (quieter than a whisper, suitable for bedroom overnight use); 52.5 dB on high (similar to a quiet conversation, fine for living areas during the day). Most owners run it on medium (39 dB) for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big a room does it suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 60 m² for full purification-grade air change in 16 minutes (about 4 air changes per hour at high speed). For a smaller room, run it on medium or low — the unit is designed to be quiet enough for continuous operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it good for allergies?\u003c\/strong\u003e The dual H13 HEPA filters capture airborne dust mite debris, pollen, pet dander, and mould spores at 0.3 microns per the EN 1822 H13 specification (≥99.95%). The washable pre-filters trap pet hair and large allergens before they reach the HEPA, which matters in households with shedding pets. We don't claim it treats allergies — that's a medical question — but the construction is what allergy-conscious households are after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it produce ozone?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The SA-600 is Ozone-Free Certified. There's no ioniser stage and no UV\/photocatalytic stage — meaningful if anyone in the household has asthma or respiratory sensitivity. Many high-CADR purifiers in this price band include ioniser stages, which can produce trace ozone as a by-product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the filter change indicator come on early?\u003c\/strong\u003e Smart Air notes that the indicator is calibrated for high-pollution environments (Chinese AQI levels).

Dust mites die at temperatures above 55-60°C; the Athena AT1 generates steam at 132°C operational temperature, well above the lethal threshold. The mechanism is thermal — heat denatures the dust mites' proteins on contact. Steam also helps to break down the protein allergens (Der p 1, Der f 1) that cause the actual allergic response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it kill bed bugs and their eggs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — both. Bed bugs die at sustained exposure above 50°C; bed bug eggs die at similar temperatures. The AT1's 132°C steam kills both adults and eggs on contact. Steam is particularly useful against bed bugs because some populations have developed resistance to chemical pesticides — heat is mechanical, so resistance isn't possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to use chemicals or detergents with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — water is the only required input. The cleaning effect comes from the high temperature, not chemistry. You can add a small amount of plain white vinegar or a steam-cleaner-safe solution if you want extra deodorising, but it's not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the boiler last per fill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 250 ml tank gives approximately 8-10 minutes of continuous steam at the standard flow rate. For larger jobs, plan for several refill cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it different from a vacuum?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA vacuum removes dust, debris, and dead dust mites\/allergens from a surface. A steam cleaner kills dust mites and bed bugs through heat. The two are complementary — steam first to kill, then HEPA-filtered vacuum to remove the residue. Many allergy-conscious households use both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe around children and pets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe steam is hot enough to cause burns; treat the unit with the same caution as a kettle or iron. Children and pets should not be in the same room during operation, and treated surfaces should cool for a few minutes before access. There's no chemical residue, so the area is safe for re-entry once cooled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the steam mop sold separately?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany buyers want the handheld unit only — for cars, mattresses, upholstery, and bed frames where a mop attachment isn't useful. Selling the mop separately keeps the entry price lower for those buyers.

If you're in a cooler climate, a basement, a garage, or an unheated space in winter, a desiccant like the Venta will keep removing moisture where a compressor model wouldn't. Trade-off: desiccants typically use more electricity per litre of water removed at warm temperatures, so for hot humid summers a compressor unit may run cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat room size is the Venta suited to?\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 60 m² — bedrooms, studies and small-to-medium living areas. For larger spaces, the Ionmax Rhine Pro ION650 (compressor, 120 m²) or Leone Pro ION626 (compressor, 80 m²) may suit better in warm conditions; for larger cool spaces, the Vienne ION630 (desiccant, 42 m²) is the other desiccant option in our range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much water will it actually remove per day in my home?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8 L\/day rating is at 20°C and 60% RH (typical cool indoor conditions).
