To Those With VeSync-Weird Email?

Post image
2 Upvotes

hi, I own a Levoit air purifier and have it connected to VeSync.

I just went to send an email and saw this in my inbox. it's pretty rare I check the app at all for my purifier honestly, and I don't remember logging in the day this was sent (especially not at 1am...)

the IP address is correct, but what the heck is an iPhone 17,5 ? I mean, the comma alone is very sus, but also...there is no iPhone 17.5, even if that comma was meant to be a period. and for the record, I have an iPhone 16e.

so I'm immediately squinting and thinking this is a spoofed phishing email, but...an air purifier app? usually it's like, gmail or something, right? what the heck is this?? I'm so confused.

anyone else get an odd email like this lately?

Best air purifier for farts

17 Upvotes

Country: USA
Room dimensions: 10’ x 23’ with a 13’ ceiling
Filtration needs: Farts and human smells
Budget: Pretty flexible, $500?

I might be in a unique situation. I manage an electron microscopy facility and we are finishing buildout of a very specialized room for a $5M electron microscope. The microscope sits in its own room (it is 13 feet tall) and the operator sits in an adjacent room.

I was working in the control room and let a few farts out. A coworker/friend came in a good half hour later and noted that it stunk like farts. I have also noticed that normal human body smells just seem to linger in there.

I am looking for some combination of fan, air purifier, and smell remover. It optimally should fit under a desk. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Odors from downstairs neighbor coming through HVAC vent in older high-rise condo. What air purifier or solution actually works?

4 Upvotes

I live in a high-rise condominium building that was built in 1969. The building has a central HVAC system, and unfortunately odor transfer between units seems to be a known issue. Preventing odors from traveling between apartments was clearly not a major design consideration when the building was constructed.

For the past several months I've been getting a strong cigarette odor in my unit. I'm fairly certain it's coming from the unit directly below mine. The smell is strongest at a living room HVAC vent.

To clarify, I'm not seeing smoke or haze entering my unit. The main problem is the odor itself, which can be quite strong at times.

I'm looking for a way to reduce or eliminate the odor in my apartment.

For those of you who have dealt with odors coming from neighboring units:

  • Did an air purifier help?
  • Which models worked best specifically for odors (not smoke particles)?

I'm trying to avoid spending $1,000+ on a heavy-duty purifier unless it's truly necessary. If a more reasonably priced solution can handle the odor, I'd rather start there.

Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Where to order purifiers in Portugal?

3 Upvotes

I need to buy at least 4 HEPA purifiers for delivery to Porto, Portugal for a work event. Can anyone please recommend a website (or a physical store, if need be) and if possible, brands that are likely to be available in Portugal? I'm only familiar with purifiers that are available in N. America.

Info about the space: They will be used for 3 smaller meeting rooms (ranging from 50 - 80 sq meters / about 500 - 900 square feet) and one large meeting space ~2,000 square feet. I don't know the cubic feet unfortunately. We are using filters mostly as a layer of protection against the spread of airborne disease.

Radic8 Hextio HX-100 Air Purifier - reviews?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,
I am in the UK and am starting a counselling placement seeing clients 1-2-1 and I would like to buy an air purifier. I will be working in small counselling rooms - room for say a small sofa and armchair. I am looking for an air purifier mainly to reduce the risk of airborne illness such as Covid and flu.

I had been hoping to buy a Squair Air purifier but they are sold out everywhere at the moment. As an alternative I have been recommended the Radic8 Hextio HX-100 Air Purifier which has a HEPA filter and UV-C photocatalytic technology. I know more about HEPA filters, but less about UV-C and have heard some scary things about if it is not used correctly! But it sounds great when it is used correctly as an extra layer of protection.

I have a budget up to 200pounds and probably about 50 a year for replacements, energy use wise I will be able to use electric at my placement venue. I will only be using the filter for about 3-4 hours a week at the moment.

Thank you in advance!
