There are several differences between air purifiers and air scrubbers. Air purifiers use filtration systems to filter pollutants and particles out of the air that flows through them. Their filters need to be replaced or washed regularly and placed back in the purifier. On the other hand, air scrubbers are installed inside the HVAC system and affect all of the air in the house. Air scrubbers use UV lights to kill unwanted things like air pollution, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), surface contaminants and more. Air scrubbers require regular maintenance to clean them out.
The main difference between air scrubbers and air purifiers is that air scrubbers are far more effective than air purifiers at cleaning your indoor air. Air scrubbers can remove 99% of surface contaminants and 90% of airborne contaminants from your home’s environment.
