Near-perfect particle filtration

Healthy Climate® HEPA bypass filtration systems are 99.97% efficient at removing small particles at 0.3 micron—contaminants that standard filtration systems can’t effectively stop. Particles smaller than 2.5 microns pass through the lungs and into the bloodstream, increasing the likelihood of illness. The HEPA system minimizes your exposure to potentially harmful pollutants.

Powerful, yet quiet, performance

The system acts like a vacuum, drawing air out of the return duct, cleaning

it and then cycling it back into your home. The system can also operate independently of your HVAC system to isolate and filter a specific area of your home. The filtration process involves three main steps:

1)Contaminated air passes through a pre-filter, trapping large dirt and dust particles.

2)Air then flows through the HEPA filter, which captures nearly all remaining particles and bioaerosols.

3)Finally, air passes through a charcoal/carbon filter in the standard unit to absorb odors and chemical fumes. An optional carbon canister is available for enhanced absorption.
