Air Purifier

[Protagoras]

I have the Dyson air purifier and at my old,old house it did help a fair bit. Since the move the sensor seems to be broken so it's acting purely as an expensive fan, well it's still working i just can't see how well.

My one is a couple of years old, the new ones are very expensive.

PS at my old,old house with the incredibly expensive log fire which was tulip, opening the window helped but also opening the fire door for about 15 mins made a difference. At my old house it just worked, 200 year old farmhouse (they knew something then).

Dyson products tend to be more expensive than I generally wish to pay.

I think that airflow into the room may be an issue. The house possibly isn't leaky enough to provide sufficient combustion air flow.

In any case, when it was installed a mate who has one - and is also very health conscious - advised opening a window when running it to encourage draft up the flue rather than into the room. He also suggested the use of a particulate meter (the Ikea one is excellent value and Matter compliant) and the use of an air purifier.

Instead of trying to clean the air, burn low smoke fuel?

I think wood briquettes/heat logs are the cleanest with <10% moisture content.

That's a good idea - I'll try some. Thanks.
