How Does It Work?

• Through patented technology, particles entering the air cleaner pass through a control electrode, which focuses and intensifies an electrical field generated by ionizing wires. The particles are charged in the electrical field and then collected on grounded micro-fibre media. There is no monthly cleaning of collector plates like with other types of electronic air cleaners, in fact, the Model 5000′s media needs to be changed only once a year.

Fact:

• Home’s today are being built or remodelled with more weather stripping, caulking and insulation becoming both tighter and more energy efficient in the process. The problem? More contaminants are becoming trapped inside our homes. The air we breathe indoors can be loaded with pollutants like respirable dust, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, bacteria, viruses and more that aren’t finding their way out through cracks or air leaks in the home. With estimates that a typical person spends 90% of their time indoors and takes up to 20,000 breaths every day – you want to be breathing the cleanest air possible.

Three most important methods of improving indoor air quality are source removal, air cleaning and increased ventilation:
