When to Get an Air Purifier
- You have allergies or asthma
- You have pets
- You live in a city with air pollution
- You notice dust building up quickly

Can You Use Both?
Yes — and for many households this is the ideal setup. Keep them apart so the humidifier’s moisture doesn’t overload the purifier’s filter.
