+1 (978) 295-7538Brio 550 Air Purifier — APART Electrostatic Filtration at 0.01 Microns, Lower Long-Term Cost
HEPA filters capture particles at 0.3 microns — the Brio 550 captures particles 30 times smaller at 0.01 microns using patented APART (Advanced Particle Arresting Technology) electrostatic collection. Unlike HEPA, APART efficiency does not degrade as particles accumulate — the filter performs the same on day 365 as day one. At 267 CFM with three speed settings and 360-degree intake, it replaces traditional HEPA units in spaces where ultra-fine particle capture and lower filter replacement costs are priorities.
Brio 550 Filtration Technology and Airflow
APART technology uses electrostatic charge to attract and hold particles on a collection cartridge — the non-clogging mechanism is the key buyer decision point versus HEPA, which loses airflow and efficiency as it fills with particles.
- 0.01 micron particle capture — captures viruses (0.02–0.3 microns), ultra-fine combustion particles, and smoke particles that HEPA misses entirely
- Non-clogging APART design — unlike HEPA, efficiency and airflow remain constant throughout filter life; no degradation between replacements
- 267 CFM at maximum speed — three fan speeds: 267 CFM (high / 64 dB), 168 CFM (medium / 55 dB), 105 CFM (low / 45 dB)
- APART cartridge lasts 12 months — Refresh Plus filter lasts 24 months; combined replacement interval significantly lower than HEPA in equivalent units
- 360-degree elevated intake — draws air from all directions simultaneously; more effective placement flexibility versus directional-intake units
- 22 lbs, 13.5" × 13.5" × 23.5" — compact footprint on a 6-ft power cord; fits most commercial spaces without dedicated floor space
Brio 550 Applications and Environments
Healthcare facilities and medical offices where virus capture is a priority are the primary application — 0.01 micron capture reaches into the virus size range (0.02–0.3 microns) that standard HEPA cannot address. Schools and educational environments benefit from the lower ongoing filter replacement cost compared to frequent HEPA filter changes. Office buildings and conference rooms running the unit continuously find the 12-month cartridge life cost-effective at scale. Hospitality properties — hotel rooms, extended-stay suites — use it for guest air quality where the quiet low-speed operation (45 dB) and long filter life reduce housekeeping maintenance burden compared to HEPA units requiring more frequent filter checks.
Brio 550 CADR Rating and Filter Stack
The Brio 550 ships with one APART Collection Cartridge and one Refresh Plus Filter included — ready to operate immediately. APART technology is CARB-compliant (no ozone generation). Voltage: 120 VAC, 60Hz. Power draw at three speeds: 71W (high), 52W (medium), 45W (low). If your primary concern is gas-phase chemical removal rather than particles, pair with a carbon-based unit; the APART system targets particles, not VOCs or chemical gases.
