Filter It All

Sure, there’s plenty of emphasis on the wheel or sliced bread, but if you ask us, the filter should get more love when it comes to humanity’s greatest accomplishments.

After all, it is thanks to the filter that we can take nasty-tasting tap water and make it crisp and refreshing. And without a filter, we wouldn’t drink a cup of coffee in the morning; we’d eat a bowl of gritty coffee soup. A good filter can even turn an overwhelming, disorderly spreadsheet or email inbox into something neat and orderly.

They’re in car engines. They’re in cigarettes. They’re in heaters. They’re in air conditioners. They’re everywhere.

(And yes, we know: there’s a difference between a water filter, a coffee filter, an email filter, and all of those other filters. Just go with it, okay?)

Really, the only time you hear anyone discussing a lack of filter as a positive, it’s when someone’s bragging about how they “have no filter.” And even then, these people are usually dickwads trying sell a lack of basic social decorum as some sort of virtue.

In short: filtering, great; not filtering, not great.

And yet, when it comes to the air, a lot of us are like, “Nah, we’re good. Sure, it’s the middle of winter. And sure, we haven’t opened the windows in about two months. And sure, the other day, when we we got back from a quick trip to the grocery store, the house smelled like stale farts and old chicken. And sure, when the sun comes in at that exact right moment, at that exact right angle, we can see that we live our lives perpetually enveloped by a mostly invisible cloud of dust and cat hair. But that’s okay! We’ll just keep chowing down on all that nasty shit every time we take a breath, day-in, day-out and all through the night as well!”

But it doesn’t have to be this way! Just like we filter our water, our coffee, our spreadsheets, our inboxes, and our thoughts, we can also filter the air. With a Pro Breeze Air Purifier.

Here’s what you need to know: it’ll filter up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns; it’s powerful enough to clear the air in rooms up to 430 square feet; it’s well-reviewed, earning 4.5 stars out of 5 on nearly a thousand Amazon reviews; and we’re selling it for less than 90 bucks, which is a good deal.

So get one and celebrate humankind’s most ingenious invention: the filter!
