What is the difference between a HEPA filter and Aprilaire Air Cleaners?

HEPA filters are very efficient at removing extremely small particles from small volumes of air. However, HEPA filters restrict airflow in addition to pollutants, so these systems cannot be used to filter all of the air going through a residential furnace. Many air cleaners are sold as "HEPA-type." These use the same technology as true HEPA air cleaners, but do not deliver the same performance as true HEPA air cleaners. A true HEPA air cleaner will remove at least 99.97% of the particles that are 0.3 microns in size. The Aprilaire Model 5000 will remove 94% of the particles that are 0.3 microns in size when new. Aprilaire's Air Cleaners use the same type of filtration as HEPA filters, but with a lower restriction to airflow. This means you can filter all the air moving through the furnace. Air can be cleaned throughout the entire home, not just a single room. The complete line of Aprilaire Air Cleaners offers units for general air cleaning needs and an electronic air cleaner that is the most efficient (non-HEPA) residential air cleaner on the market.

       Is it okay to install the air cleaner near a humidifier?
