We've changed our first air filter and the students were aghast when they got to witness what the filter cleaned out of the air in the classroom . I absolutely failed at not snapping a photo of all the dust that accumulated on the filter material to show visibly what the system helped take out of the air . \r\n\r\nThe main difference is something we can't see though . The smell of dampness and mold is gone and my students get to breath easily. Even other teachers notice a difference in the air quality of my classroom . I know it's not the first thing teachers think of when they need supplies for their room. But for me the students health comes first .
