We only use the highest-grade HEPA (as recommended by the CDC, EPA and WHO) and activated carbon in our air purifiers. This ensures the effective removal of airborne contaminants such as viruses and bacteria. We do not use anything that produces ozone (UV, Oxidation, Ionization etc.) which can trigger allergies, asthma, COPD and potentially decrease lung function. Steel fabricated, powder coated, 360-degree intake system with directional air flow. Our filters are designed to last up to 5 years saving costly filter replacements and custodial maintenance. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. We stand by our quality with a five-year warranty on all our purifiers. Decibel levels by speed are: High 62, Medium 52, Low below 50
All our standard size filters have a large particle pre-filter which removes particles easily seen by the naked eye (e.g., dust, hair and pet dander). The medium particle pre-filter removes small to medium size particles (e.g., molds, spores and pollen). All our filters contain 60 sq. ft. of Medical Grade HEPA technology which is proven to remove up to 99% of all airborne contaminants as small as 0.1 microns. This includes viruses, bacteria, dust, dander and allergens.
