<br />I might also add that I believe UV light is supposed to be REALLY BAD for CF lungs because it creates ozone. The IQAir does not have UV.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Also of note, my husband is really allergic to dust mites. My daughter ended up sleeping in our room one night, so he rolled her purifier in. For the first time in 30 years, he woke up without a bunch of gunk that he needed to cough up. I myself have never had a single allergy, so I couldn't relate. But, it really seemed to work for him.
<br />

<br />Thanks for the heads up on the UV light! We've turned off that feature now but I was wondering if there is an article or something that i could show to my husband and read myself about what exactly this "ozone" does that would be really helpful.
<br />
<br />While i wish we could afford something as nice as the IQAir it's just simply not affordable right now coming out of our pockets. Maybe something we'll have to discuss with my inlaws since they've been an incredible help since Parker's diagnosis. I hate that what i "thought" was helping my son could be potentially hurting him more. Just kills me! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Can only do my best....
