although we could argue over the various benefits of UV vs. HEPA vs. O3

Or we could argue that turning off all fans,heat, AC, and spraying oust 10 minutes b4 you start to work in whatever closet will fit a chair and all your equipment in it is better than an air purifier...

After 100% and fruiting you don't have to worry as much about contams, myc is pretty contam resistant itself because it eats everything with nutes. When you really need to worry about contams is when you are shooting spores and when it is colonizing, and if you have a lid that is sufficient for blocking contams then the only time you will get one in a jar is when you stick a needle in it.

I suggest flame sterilizing and synthetic filter disk GE ports with red silicone self healing inoc ports. As long as you follow sterile procedures during the needle poke then you will rarely see a contam unless you let a tub go past two flushes or you are doing PF cakes.

Or if the syringe and spores themselves are contamed...

I used to have an air purifier years ago and it grew green mold on it, I would personally rather have a closet with no moving air and a can of oust. I have only had one contam since I started and it was a cake that got dunked twice and sat in the SGFC for over a month and a half. Even with an air purifier you will have mold spores floating around, all the purifier does is reduce the numbers. You can reduce the numbers even more than a purifier with a can of oust 10 minutes b4 inoc in a still air room. Air purifiers are a waste of electricity IMO, my house is soo drafty and dusty every jar I inoc should contam, but I do my inoc in a closet with no moving air that has been dusted with a swiffer and then wiped down with vinegar spray/then peroxide spray and I oust the closet 10-15 minutes b4 I flame a needle with the door shut.:shrug:

Or you could look up this thread I saw about finding a contam resistant plant to put in the chamber with your spawn, I hear that green plants use CO2 and emit oxygen. Your own living air purifier in your FC!:calledajoke::facepalm3:
That thread was too funny, the best thing you can do is constantly move the air through your tubs, this will keep the contams from taking hold better than any air purifier, air purifiers generally suck hairy monkey balls, there are a few good ones but the best ones are expensive and a can of oust is $3, I was just doing the math considering I am poor LOL.

Purifier+electricity+filters(maybe depending on model)=$$$$
Can of oust and a closet= 3$
:2cents:
