VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are gases and chemicals that are emitted in your home from objects and products like paints, household cleaning chemicals, furniture, etc.
Carbon acts as a sponge to adsorb VOCs. The standard carbon blanket that comes with every Amaircare product is a very effective "sponge," but when it comes to carbon, the more surface area there is, the more VOCs it can adsorb. So, the more carbon the better.
Amaircare provides optional VOC Canisters with most of its portable systems. The VOC Canisters have a much larger surface area of carbon, so its collection capacity is greatly increased. This makes a VOC Cartridge the filter of choice for situations where increased VOC removal is important. Amaircare's VOC Canisters all contain 100% carbon.
Be sure you've selected the proper canister for the unit you're purchasing. The 16" VOC Canister for the Amaircare 3000 contains 12 pounds of carbon, and replaces the carbon blanket filter inside your new 3000 unit. If you're purchasing an Amaircare 2500 or a Roomaid and you're seeing the Canister for the Model 3000, click here for the 8" VOC Canister for the Amaircare 2500, which contains 8 pounds of carbon, and replaces the carbon blanket filter inside your new 2500 unit, or click here for the VOC Canister for the Roomaid.
