How the Air Purifier Works

Stage 1

A washable filter that contains 5 layers:

Layer One

Friction caused by air passing through first honeycomb filter creates an electrostatic charge that captures and retains pollutants, dust and dirt.

Layer Two

Open Pore Polyurethane Foam

The foam is very permeable and has an extremely high dust-holding capacity.

Layer Three

A second honeycomb filter that also cap- tures and retains pollutants, dust and dirt

Layer Four

A second Open Pore Polyurethane Foam

Layer Five

A third honeycomb filter that captures and retains pollutants, dust and dirt.

Layers 1-5 are contained in a

single, easy to clean cassette.

Stage 3

Post Ionization

Stage 2

Pre-ionization plus electrostatic air filtration

Most of the minute (micron and submicron) pollutant particles (smoke, soot, etc.) are precipitated from the air and captured by the electrostatic filter. Only an electrostatic filter can precipitate such small particles effectively and quietly while using a minimum of energy.

At the pre-ionization stage the pollutants are ionized and then are trapped by Air Purifier multiple layers of expanded, non-corrosive aluminum screening which are corrugated for an extended surface area. The electro- static filter area is now larger than of previous models, resulting in a more efficient Air Purifier. The ionizing elements and filters are separate - making the Air Purifier even more reliable and easy to clean.

This stage is of utmost importance as it restores the natural balance of the air. After the air is purified, it is further cleaned and ionized at the air outlet using Air Purifier patented carbon filament process.

•Ionization substantially reduced the amount of indoor bacteria in the air.

•Ionization can frequently help asthma and allergy sufferers.

•Ionization may help relieve weather-related maladies such as headaches, nausea and physical aches.

•Ionization may help lower tension, producing sounder sleep.
