Dust, dirt and chemical fumes are unwelcome in any home or office. The Vortex VI-2500 will help to combat these problems. The Vortex uses powerful negative ionisation cleaning techniques to purify the air. Small enough to use in any room, yet powerful enough to clean spaces up to 75sqm, the Vortex is the most compact, efficient and economical air purifier available. With no moving parts (and NO NEEDLES!!) no maintenance is required. The air becomes crisp and fresh, ideal for everyone, especially sufferers of asthma, sinusitis, hay fever, allergies and general respiratory complaints.
Unlike other powerful ionisers, it will not damage or interfere with calculators, portable telephones, radios, computers, or other sensitive equipment. Thus the benefits of placing a Vortex Air Purifier in your home or office space are numerous. The Vortex precipitates a wide variety of air borne contaminants, reduces static electricity, and can help relieve symptoms of ‘Sick Building Syndrome’ that are associated with living and working in artificial sealed environments.
Ionisation: Nature's Air Cleaner
Ions are charged atoms created in nature by sunlight, moving water and moving air. Negatively charged ions are beneficial to the environment because they attract dust, pollen, mould spores and even viruses. Once these pollutants are negatively charged, they are pulled to earth by electrostatic forces. The result is clean fresh smelling air. If you have ever noticed how fresh the air becomes after a rainstorm, you’ve experienced ionisation in its grandest form. Rain produces trillions upon trillions of negative ions, making it nature’s most effective air cleaner.
Electronic Ionisation: Technology Imitating Nature
Because indoor areas are often tightly insulated and have poor airflow, natural ionisation cannot effectively take place. The Vortex Air Purifier takes over where nature stops by electronically generating a powerful stream of negative ions. The Vortex begins cleansing the moment you plug it in. The unique spiral emitter stimulates airflow by discharging over 70 trillion ions per second in a rapid, intermittently pulsing, spiral pattern, which actually draws pollutants to the device. The airborne pollutants then fall to the collection pad or to the floor in-between pulses. This low maintenance, high intensity negative ioniser will silently clean 75sqm for just a few cents a month, and wash out the air at a rate of nearly 6sqm per minute.
Unlike other ionisers, the Vortex does not rely on natural convection to bring the dirty air to the unit. In fact, it actually stimulates airflow by emitting ions in a rapid, spiral motion. In controlled tests, the VI-2500 was found to be superior in all aspects of air purification to four of the best selling US brands.

The Vortex has been specifically designed for use around computer systems and other sensitive electronics.
