We all know how important it is to breathe clean and fresh air. Dust and various allergens, getting into our respiratory tract and lungs, cause irritation and make breathing difficult. Breathing clean air is especially important for so that our children - at least at home, where we all spend most of our time. Unfortunately, our lungs cannot be washed or rinsed, so let's be careful about what gets into them!

That is why when choosing a vacuum cleaner, be sure to pay attention to the type and degree of filtration. You probably noticed that when cleaning with a regular vacuum cleaner with a container or bag a characteristic unpleasant smell always appears. And all because such vacuum cleaners, as if cleaning, in fact simply lift some of the dust into the air, where it quietly spins and then settles back onto the floor and furniture. In addition, most vacuum cleaners have a dust "exhaust". It means that a part of the dust together with allergens, contained in it, flies out of the vacuum cleaner back into the room! What kind of air purity can we talk about in such a situation? And what is the process of cleaning (replacing) a dust bag or container worth! A huge amount of dry dust will fall at once into our lungs... By the way, some manufacturers of container vacuum cleaners claim that their devices are safe and certified for allergy sufferers. Ypu should know that such vacuum cleaners can be relatively safe only during the cleaning process, but not during the cleaning of the dust container!

There are only a few really safe types of filtering. These include a high-quality aqua filter and a disposable HEPA bag made of special filter material.

Pay attention to the quality of water filter - it should be high! Many manufacturers of vacuum cleaners with water filters resort to vague formulations: "high degree", "almost 100%", "the air at the outlet is cleaner than at the inlet", etc. Measurements are easy for any company, but apparently the data obtained are not convincing for the consumer, so they remain unknown.

The German company THOMAS, the European market leader in production of washing vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaners with water filtration, has developed an aqua filter system that allows 99.99% of dust to be removed from the outgoing air. Pollen that has larger particles than dust, is 100% filtered! THOMAS does not use "hookah" technology in its devices, like many other manufacturers of vacuum cleaners with an aqua filter. This technology does not retain fine dust, which is the most dangerous for our lungs. In order to combat such dangerous dust, it has developed its own system that uses the natural properties of water. Inside the aquafilter, the dust first passes through a dense wall of water, and then, already wet and heavy, ends up in a powerful tornado from the tiniest drops of water. As a result, even fine dust becomes so heavy that it cannot continue its way and remains at the bottom of the aquafilter.

Today, THOMAS company offers 2 types of modern water filters: an open-type aquafilter and a closed aquabox. The quality of filtration of these two systems is not inferior to each other, but the aquabox is more simple and convenient to use. Aquabox is a novelty from Thomas, which eliminates all the disadvantages of an open aquafilter.

Vacuum cleaners with the AQUA-BOX system are more compact and lighter than models with an ordinary water filter. Thanks to the closed design of the aquabox, the service life of additional filters is extended. Whichever type of THOMAS water filter we choose, the main result will be achieved: you can forget about the unpleasant "dusty" smell forever, and the air after cleaning will become clean and wet, like after the rain!

If you are still a convinced supporter of traditional "dry" vacuum cleaners, then a good choice would be models with disposable dust bags.

At the same time, you need to understand that the biggest part of dust bags are made of paper, which doesn't retain the most dangerous fine dust, of course.

In order for cleaning with a bag vacuum cleaner to be really safe for our health, dust collectors must be made of a special filter material capable of holding fine dust. THOMAS company has developed an excellent system for dry cleaning: the Hygiene-Bag-System.

This system is a closed plastic box, inside which there is a HEPA bag made of HEPA material and a carbon filter. Thanks to the design, dust collected in the bag does not go beyond the hygiene box and you don't even need to touch the dust baf when ulling it out. You simply open the hygiene box and the filled bag falls out by itself. As a result, we get pure air and no contact with dust both during and after cleaning.

When choosing a vacuum cleaner, pay attention not only to the power and different nozzles, but also to the type of filtration. Do not forget that we are what we breathe!
