What is QUARTZAIR®?
QUARTZAIR® is a compact, portable air purifier with 4-stage HEPA-Rx filtration plus a Revitalizing Negative Ion Chamber. H13 HEPA-Rx media captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, with independent testing measuring 99.998–99.999% capture at 0.1–0.2 microns, and delivered airflow up to 364 CFM (618 m³/h) on turbo. Whisper-quiet on low (<40 dB), it weighs just 23.4 lbs (10.6 kg) at 23" H × 12" diameter, making it the most portable option in the Surgically Clean Air lineup. Ideal for home offices, bedrooms, small consultation rooms, and anywhere professional-grade filtration is needed without the footprint of larger units. Available in Powder-Coated White or Matte Black at $595.
A compact air purifier can be a practical choice when professional-grade filtration is needed without dedicating significant floor space to the equipment. QUARTZAIR® combines a portable footprint with multi-stage filtration, making it well suited for smaller environments where indoor air quality, noise levels, and available space are important considerations.
Its portable design also provides flexibility when filtration needs change throughout the day. QUARTZAIR® can be used in a home office during working hours, moved to a bedroom, or repositioned in smaller professional environments. Instead of requiring permanent installation, the unit provides a flexible way to add air purification where it is needed.
Air purifier performance involves more than the filter itself. Airflow moves room air through the system, while individual filtration stages address different types and sizes of airborne contaminants. QUARTZAIR® combines particle filtration, activated carbon, and ionization within one compact system.

Where to Use QUARTZAIR®
QUARTZAIR® is designed for smaller spaces where users want effective air filtration without the footprint of a larger purification system. Its compact dimensions, portable design, and quiet operation make it adaptable to a variety of residential and professional environments.
Home Offices and Workspaces
For people who spend much of the day working from home, an air purifier may operate for hours alongside computers, video calls, and other daily activities. QUARTZAIR® provides a compact option that can be positioned in a home office without taking up substantial floor space. Quiet operation on low also makes it suitable for environments where excessive background noise could interfere with concentration, calls, or meetings.
Bedrooms
Quiet operation can be particularly important when an air purifier is used in a bedroom. QUARTZAIR® operates at less than 40 dB(A) on low, allowing air filtration while minimizing unnecessary background noise. Its compact cylindrical footprint also makes it easier to incorporate into bedrooms where available floor space may be limited.
Consultation Rooms and Smaller Professional Spaces
Small consultation rooms, offices, and similar professional spaces may not require the capacity or physical size of a larger air purification system. QUARTZAIR® provides a compact alternative while still offering multi-stage filtration and H13 HEPA technology. Its portability also allows the unit to be repositioned as room usage or filtration needs change.
Apartments and Condos
Apartments, condos, and studios can present different air purification needs because floor space is often at a premium. QUARTZAIR® is designed for spaces up to 500 square feet and can be moved when filtration is needed in another appropriately sized room. Its activated carbon stage also adds filtration designed to address odors and VOCs in addition to airborne particles.

Choosing the Right Air Purifier for Your Space
Square footage is an important consideration when selecting an air purifier, but it is not the only factor. Ceiling height, room layout, occupancy, airflow, noise preferences, and the indoor air concerns you want to address can all influence which air purification system is appropriate.
Consider how the room is used as well. A bedroom may prioritize quiet operation, while a home office may benefit from a compact purifier that can operate throughout the workday without taking up substantial space. Professional environments may have different airflow, occupancy, and filtration requirements.
QUARTZAIR® is designed for spaces up to 500 square feet, making it a practical option for smaller rooms where portability and compact dimensions are priorities. Larger rooms or environments with different filtration requirements may benefit from another Surgically Clean Air system. Comparing coverage, airflow, filtration stages, sound levels, and intended applications can help narrow down the right system for a particular space.

Getting the Most From Your QUARTZAIR®
Where an air purifier is positioned can affect how easily air circulates through the unit. Place QUARTZAIR® where its air intake and outlet are not obstructed by furniture, curtains, or other objects. Providing open space around the unit allows room air to enter the purifier and filtered air to circulate back into the surrounding environment.
Fan speed can also be adjusted based on how the room is being used. Lower settings provide quieter operation for activities such as sleeping, working, or participating in calls, while higher settings provide increased airflow when desired. QUARTZAIR® provides airflow settings ranging from 100 CFM on low to 364 CFM on turbo.
Because the unit weighs 23.4 pounds and includes a carrying handle, it can also be repositioned when needed. This flexibility can be useful in homes and professional environments where air purification is needed in different rooms at different times.
Keep Your QUARTZAIR® Running
Genuine replacement filters for optimal performance.
Routine filter care helps keep the filtration system operating as intended. QUARTZAIR® includes a washable pre-filter that captures larger particles before they reach the primary filtration media. Periodically cleaning this component helps prevent accumulated dust and debris from unnecessarily restricting airflow.
The HEPA and activated carbon filtration media also require periodic replacement. Actual filter life can vary depending on usage and indoor air conditions. Environments with higher concentrations of airborne particles, odors, or other contaminants may place greater demand on the filtration media.
QUARTZAIR® includes a filter change indicator to make maintenance easier to track. Owners should follow the recommended cleaning and replacement schedule and check filters regularly as part of routine air purifier maintenance.
HEPA/Carbon Combo Filter
H13 HEPA + activated carbon in one unit. The primary replacement filter for QUARTZAIR®.
