So we just got back from the hospital and after 1 night of dd sleeping in her room, her nose is stuffed up and coughing more in the mornings. I am going to have someone come test to see what is in there, but also want to get a good filter. I understand that UV/ozone output is bad and hepa is good<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> What do any of you have in your home and have you noticed a difference?

Thanks!!

We have one with a hepa filter and charcoal pre-filter. It's a Whirlpool Whispersure. It was a gift from a relative when DS was born and diagnosed wcf. The filters themselves are rather spendy -- the hepa one lasts a year and costs a little under $100 and the 4 charcoal prefilters -- change every 3 months -- cost about $35-40 for a package.

I think there are several people here who have gotten Hunter brand ones at the hardware store with similar features -- hepa and charcoal prefilters.

i have 2 in our small apt....both hepa/charcoal filters with prefilters and i have noticed a big difference in myself when i started using them...i have always used them with my daughter with cf. i have a honeywell and a kenmore progressive ( i prefer the honeywell, its a little louder--kind of white noise sound--but i think it does a better job than the kenmore).

I also have a HEPA with charcoal prefilter. Mine is Honeywell. I think it made a big difference, together with other changes we made. I keep it on in my dd's bedroom 24/24.

Thanks everyone. We just had the ducts cleaned and step 2 is to get this filter in place. I appreciate your help. Anything else you do to keep the indoor air quality good? We have encased all pillows and mattresses with the allergen barriers. Had the carpeting truck mounted cleaned (would pull it up, but we are renting). We also keep her windows closed.
