	Both HEPA and Ionic Tower UV effectively remove airborne particles in submicron ranges. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arresting) technology drives air by fan through a super-fine disposable filter made of paper. Ionic Tower UV is preferable because:
		The Ionic Tower UV's permanent collectors simply wipe clean. The Ionic Tower has no disposable filters to find, buy, store and replace. HEPA machines require expensive replacement filters.
		The Ionic Tower UV is silent, runs on 28 watts and is designed to clean the air continuously. HEPA machines are noisy, use up to 10 times the power and are impractical to run continuously.
