How My Son Came To Develop the World's Best Air Purifier
I Was 30 Years Old When We Had Our First Child – A Boy We Named Tanner.
Tanner was always a very good learner. Science and math were his strong subjects. But like me, in high school, he started to check out, not seeing the direct relevance of everything he was learning to what he saw himself doing.
Luckily, I passed on the habit of listening to audiobooks whenever we drove anywhere, and of reading books that interested me. Like me, he didn’t go to college; now I see it would have only slowed him down.
He is 30 years old now. This year, he read or listened to 109 books!
Years ago, I gave him a challenge. Develop the world’s most efficient dehumidifier. “Efficient” means the most water out of the air for the least electricity. He threw himself into the project. He built testing chambers, studied refrigeration and thermodynamics and so many other things. He built 69 prototypes, changing compressors or other components to see what the effect was. After two years, he did it. And today, we dry 16,000 basements or crawl spaces a year using the SaniDry Sedona he developed.

Now that he had experience in product design and development, Tanner needed a new challenge. This time he assigned it to himself. Some months went by and I knew he had been working on something new. “What is it?” I asked. Eventually, he revealed he was designing an air purifier. Tanner has allergies. The Pollen in the springtime is bad for him, and he suffers. So he had a personal reason for this one.
He studied, learned and tested every day. The first question he had to answer was “What is the basic approach?” Ionization? UV? Filtration? What are the pros and cons of each and what is best? One thing he learned from my experiences is that just because lots of people are doing something doesn’t make it good or even right.
Other questions: – How would the air flow through it? Front to back, side to top, bottom to top? What kind of filters? How can they be better? Fan? Size? Controls? And much more.
Well, after two years of development, he did it again. By actual testing against ALL other air purifiers, the Aspen Air purifier he developed is the best air purifier in the world.

If you or someone in your home has asthma, allergies, pets (cats, dogs), dust, odors, mold…or if you live near a busy road or dirt road or driveway (dust), or have pollen in the spring, you will love the Aspen.
