Air Oasis 9 owner manual Introduction, Step, Replacement Date Reminder

Introduction

The air you breathe is filled with thousands of particles of air pollution. Some of the pollutants like dust and lint are large enough to be visible to the naked eye, but pol- lutants such as pollen, smoke, germs, bacteria, etc., are microscopic in size. Your Air Oasis™ Induct ACT™ air purifier has been designed to destroy these invisible pollutants and provide your home or place of work with the luxury of clean air.

The AHPCO™ Cell is designed to help eliminate sick building syndrome risks by reducing airborne microbes, contaminants, VOCs and odors, with our advanced AHPCO process. The AHPCO Cell is contained within the Induct ACT™ unit. When the Earth Care system is in operation the AHPCO Cell uses an Advanced Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation process to reduce airborne contaminants.

Why use Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation?

Germicidal UV light rays have been used for decades by the medical industry as a method for destroying micro-organisms (germs, viruses, bacteria). Germicidal UV light is effective in reducing airborne micro-organisms that pass through the light rays. However, germicidal UV light has little to no effect on gases, vapors or odors.

Ozone, on the other hand, is very effective on gases, vapors, VOCs and odors. However, too much ozone can be a health hazard, and traditional methods of producing ozone (i.e. corona discharge) have maintenance problems and create nitric acid and nitric oxides which can cause damage to the respiratory system. The combination of ozone (O3) and UV light, in the presence of our patent-pend- ing quad-nano Xtreme™ catalyst, creates the Advanced Oxidation reaction. This advanced reaction chamber creates ozone gas and destroys it within the same chamber by converting it to friendly oxidizers. This oxidation further attacks the micro-organisms as well as significantly reducing odors and VOCs. By engineering the proper light wavelengths in the dual function AHPCO Cell, we have effectively designed a system that will not exceed the recommended Federal Safety Limits for ozone (.04 ppm) in an occupied room, while still providing reductions in odors and microbials.

With the Earth Care AHPCO Cell, many gases and odors are abated, micro- organism reductions can be as much as 99%, and the room will have safe, low ozone levels no greater than forest air, (.01 - .02 ppm) or air after a thunderstorm, which gives the room fresh, clean odor-free air.

Step 3

Remove three (3) wing-nuts secur- ing the AHPCO Cell in place. Then slide the AHPCO Cell up and out of the unit.

CAUTION

UV lamp may be hot and could cause serious burns if not handled properly. Please wait until AHPCO Cell has cooled to room tempera- ture to remove from unit.

AHPCO™ Cell contains Hg (Mer- cury) and should be disposed of according to disposal laws. Find disposal centers at www.earth911. org.

Step 4

Reverse steps 1-3 to set new AHPCO Cell in place. Be sure to place the exposed tip of the fiber optic cord between the first rings of the new AHPCO Cell and in close proximity to the UV lamp. This will ensure the indicator light functions properly.
