Dealer Installation Instructions

Independent Operation:

The HEPA systems can be used independently of any other equipment! The intake and outflow of the filtration system can be ducted into the same room to create a cleaner environment almost anywhere. The intake or out- flow can also be ducted elsewhere. The intake and outflow should be installed on opposite sides of the room; however, this varies according to your specific needs.
