AllerAir AirMedic Pro 5 Air Purifier (Everyday Carbon + HEPA Filtration)
airflow
(2.5" deep bed)
at 0.3 microns
The AllerAir AirMedic Pro 5 is an everyday air purifier for bedrooms, home offices, and living spaces, built around a deep bed of activated carbon and a medical-grade HEPA filter. It handles both sides of indoor air at once: the fine particles you breathe and the chemicals and odors you smell.
It's a practical, long-term choice for homes managing VOCs from furniture, paint, or cleaning products, light or occasional smoke, pet dander, and everyday dust. Because you pick the carbon blend, you can tune the unit toward general household odors or heavier VOC and chemical control.
AllerAir builds the Pro 5 to run continuously for years, and it's a common entry point for people with chemical sensitivities who want serious carbon filtration without moving to a larger unit. If stronger odors or a bigger room are your real problem, the Pro 5 Plus and Pro 6 are compared below.

How the Pro 5 Compares: Pro 5 vs Pro 5 Plus vs Pro 6
All three share the same cylindrical AllerAir build, the same medical HEPA base, and the same 5-year labor / 10-year parts warranty. They separate on two things: how much carbon they carry, and how much air they move. The Pro 5 is the everyday all-rounder. The Pro 5 Plus loads a thicker carbon bed and a finer Super HEPA for heavier odors and chemicals. The Pro 6 keeps the same filtration idea but moves more air for larger rooms.

Choose the Pro 5 for everyday air quality in a bedroom, office, or living area, where you want strong carbon and particle filtration in one reliable unit. The Pro 5 Plus is the better call if odors, VOCs, or chemical sensitivity are the main issue, since it adds a thicker 3" carbon bed and a finer Super HEPA that reaches down to 0.1 microns. The Pro 6 is worth it when the room is larger or you want more airflow, since it moves 560 CFM through a taller carbon canister for the same starting price as the Plus.
Filtering a smaller room or on a tighter budget? The AirMed 3 brings AllerAir carbon and HEPA filtration to a more compact footprint. Dealing with the heaviest chemical or MCS load? Look at the Pro 5 MCS, built specifically for multiple chemical sensitivity.
Coverage is based on 8-ft ceilings and AllerAir's recommended two air changes per hour. AllerAir sizes its units by room volume, so contact us if you want help matching a unit to your space. Sound levels vary by fan speed.
Is the AllerAir AirMedic Pro 5 Right for You?
The Pro 5 is for homes that want one serious purifier to handle the everyday mix of chemicals, odors, allergens, and dust, with real carbon depth behind it.
It's an especially strong fit if you:
✔Notice VOCs and chemical smells from furniture, paint, flooring, or cleaning products
✔Want both particle filtration (HEPA) and odor and chemical control (carbon) in one unit
✔Have allergies or asthma triggered by pollen, dust, or pet dander
✔Are starting to manage a chemical sensitivity and want deep carbon without a larger unit
✔Prefer a durable, run-it-24/7 purifier over disposable plastic models
Great fit for:
✔Bedrooms, home offices, and living areas
✔Newly renovated or painted rooms that are still off-gassing
✔Pet households where dander and odor both build up
✔Apartments where dust and neighbor odors travel in
✔Homes with light, occasional smoke from cooking or outdoor infiltration
What the AllerAir AirMedic Pro 5 Removes
Particles & Allergens (Medical HEPA)
Air passes through a medical-grade pleated HEPA filter certified to capture 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns. That covers the everyday particles that trigger allergy and asthma symptoms:
- Pollen and seasonal allergens, common triggers for allergy and asthma
- Dust and fine particles, caught by the pre-filter and HEPA media
- Pet dander, the airborne skin flakes from cats and dogs
- Mold spores, captured before they settle and spread
- Smoke particles from cooking, fireplaces, or outdoor infiltration
Chemicals, Gases & Odors (Activated Carbon)
Before air reaches the HEPA, it passes through a deep 2.5-inch bed holding 14 pounds of activated carbon. Carbon adsorbs gases and odors that particle filters cannot touch:
- VOCs and chemical fumes from paint, furniture, flooring, and household products
- Smoke odor from cooking, fireplaces, or outdoor air
- Everyday household odors from cooking, pets, and cleaning
- Off-gassing from new furnishings, mattresses, and finishes
Good to know: if your main concern is heavy VOCs, formaldehyde, or off-gassing from a renovation, choose the Vocarb carbon blend below, which AllerAir tunes specifically for those gases. For a diagnosed multiple chemical sensitivity, the Pro 5 MCS is purpose-built for that job.
Key Design Features
2.5" Deep-Bed Activated Carbon
A genuine carbon bed, not a thin carbon-coated mat, gives gases and odors real contact time so the unit actually adsorbs VOCs instead of just masking them.
Medical-Grade Pleated HEPA
A large pleated HEPA area traps microscopic particles down to 0.3 microns at high efficiency and keeps airflow steady as the filter loads.
Quick-Change Pre-Filter
The pre-filter catches larger dust and debris first, which protects the main filters and stretches their life. You can swap it without tools.
Choice of Carbon Blend
You pick Exec for everyday odors and general VOCs, or Vocarb for heavier chemical, formaldehyde, and fume control. Custom blends are available on request.
Optional UV-C Germicidal Lamp
Add a 10-watt UV-C lamp if you want an extra layer of treatment on top of filtration. It is a supplement to the carbon and HEPA, not a replacement for them.
Compact Housing on Wheels
At 20.5 inches high and 15 inches across, the unit fits beside a bed or desk and rolls on four caster wheels, so you can reposition it near the source of pollutants.
Carbon Blends & Options
The Pro 5 lets you match the unit to your air. You just pick the combination you need when you order:
- Exec (Standard): AllerAir's everyday activated-carbon blend for general household odors and light VOCs. This is the base configuration.
- Vocarb (for VOCs): a carbon blend tuned for higher pollution, chemicals, formaldehyde, fumes, and stronger odors. It's a paid upgrade you select when you order.
- Optional UV-C lamp: a 10-watt germicidal lamp for added treatment. It's an added-cost option and can be combined with either carbon blend.
- Colors: White, Black, and Sandstone, all at the same price.
Not sure which blend fits your air? Exec covers most everyday homes. Reach for Vocarb if you're dealing with fresh paint or flooring, renovation fumes, or ongoing chemical exposure.
Maintenance & Filter Life
The Pro 5 is built to run continuously, and keeping it effective comes down to a simple filter schedule:
- Pre-filter: replace every 2 to 3 months to keep airflow up
- HEPA filter: every 2 to 3 years under normal home use
- Carbon filter: every 2 to 3 years, with a 5-year shelf life
- UV-C lamp (if fitted): every 16,000 hours, or once a year
The pre-filter changes in seconds. For the main HEPA and carbon filters, you open the base with a screwdriver and lift the filters out. AllerAir recommends running the unit 24/7 on a low setting and placing it near the source of pollutants for best results.
Genuine replacement filters for the Pro 5 are available right here at Pure Indoor Living.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Exec or Vocarb carbon?
Start with what's in your air. Exec is AllerAir's everyday blend and it's the right pick for general household odors, pets, cooking, and light VOCs. Choose Vocarb if you're dealing with heavier chemicals, formaldehyde, fresh paint or flooring, or ongoing fumes, since it's tuned for those gases. When in doubt, email us about your space and we'll help you decide.
Do I need the UV-C lamp?
For most homes, no. The Pro 5 does its real work through the carbon and HEPA filters, and those handle particles, odors, and chemicals on their own. The optional 10-watt UV-C lamp adds a supplementary layer of germicidal treatment if you specifically want it, but it isn't required for the unit to filter effectively.
How loud is it?
The Pro 5 runs at 39 dB on its lowest speed, quiet enough for most people to sleep near, and 62 dB on high when you want to clear a room fast. The variable-speed control lets you set it anywhere in between to balance airflow and sound.
Will it help during wildfire smoke season?
Yes, for the seasonal smoke that drifts indoors. The carbon bed reduces smoke odor while the HEPA captures the fine smoke particles, so the Pro 5 keeps indoor air noticeably cleaner when outdoor air quality drops. Keep it running and close your windows when smoke is heavy. If you're dealing with constant, heavy smoke or you smoke indoors, the purpose-built Pro 5 HDS Smoke Eater is designed for that heavier load.
How much power does it use, and can I leave it on all the time?
Yes, it's built to run 24/7, which is how AllerAir recommends using it. The Pro 5 draws 1.3 amps at 115 volts, and less than that on the lower speeds you'll use most of the time. Running it continuously on low is the simplest way to keep air quality steady without a noticeable jump in your power bill.
Does the Pro 5 produce ozone?
No. The Pro 5 cleans air by filtration: a pre-filter, a deep activated-carbon bed, and medical HEPA. There's no ionizer and no ozone-generating process. The optional UV-C germicidal lamp doesn't generate ozone either, which is what you want in a unit built for sensitive users and continuous use.
Where do I get replacement filters?
Genuine AllerAir replacement filters for the Pro 5 are available here at Pure Indoor Living. The pre-filter changes every 2 to 3 months, and the HEPA and carbon filters every 2 to 3 years depending on how hard the unit works.
What's the warranty?
The Pro 5 comes with AllerAir's 10-year limited warranty. That covers repair of defective components for 5 years from delivery, including labor, plus an additional 5 years on parts. Expendable items like pre-filters and filters aren't covered, and the warranty is for the original purchaser.
Is this a medical device?
No. The AllerAir AirMedic Pro 5 is a residential and commercial air purifier for general indoor air quality. It's not a medical device and isn't intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.
