There must be a reason America uses air and Britain uses water.
Both seem to have advantages, but what would annoy me are draughts and

As the article says forced air is also good at recycling dust if the
filters aren't kept clean and tends to dry out the air even more.


The best filters are pleated paper like a Space Guard and the filter
elements themselves are getting pretty cheap.
The only thing better is the electrostatic filter and you still need a
pretty good prefilter in front of that.
