air filter is designed to collect particulate from the air. Air-born living organisms such as bacteria and viruses pass through the filter much like sand would pass through a tennis racket. Some filters such as carbon filters do a good job with odors, but they have to be changed frequently and are very costly. In contrast, Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers are designed to change the molecular structure of the contaminant through Photo-Oxidation and DNA Sterilization.

Yes, the air purifier kills germs and bacteria and destroys odors; but it does not dispose of the particulate, which is airborne. This requires a quality particulate filter.

Electrical consumption varies by model. The FAC1500X and CMU-16 use approximately 15 watts of electricity and the FAC3500X uses approximately 25 watts of electricity, which is less than the average light bulb.

We use high amount of negative ions to purify and sanitize the air. We use 16 stainless steel needle point to produce high negative ions and static dust collection plate to clean poisonous gases. Indoor airs usually contain high number of positive ions. And excessive positive ions can cause nausea, bad mood and dizziness. Our air purifier generates high concentration of negative ions to wipe out the excessive & harmful positive ions resulting in a fresh, clean and healthy air.

A purifier will not trap particles. What particles go into the Fresh Air Concepts air purifier come out of the Fresh Air Concepts air purifier. What is important is that the particles that come out of the Fresh Air Concepts air purifier are DEAD. Bacteria and viruses are sterilized and chemical odors are oxidized, so chemical and biological contaminants are destroyed, not masked.

air purifiers HEPA filter only requires replacing once every twelve to eighteen months or so depending on how much you use it. Whereas an air purifiers carbon filter would more likely need replacing over a period of around three to six months again depending on your level of usage. Always read the label/instructions of your air purifier system to get specific details for that particular air purifier.

effective as our air filters are in controlling airborne particulates throughout the home, it is simply impossible to rid your indoor air of all the potentially harmful particulate that could be present in your indoor air. As a result, we strongly suggest the addition to various areas of your home where odors or allergens are most likely to accumulate.

No, Fresh Air Concepts' air purification systems require limited installation. However, each installation varies depending on the application.

Mold feed off bacteria in order to grow. Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers destroy the bacteria, which means mold has no source of food. Without a source of food, mold will quickly be destroyed.

Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers are CSA and NRTL/C certified and have been third party real world tested. In addition to several university studies in the United States and Canada.

Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers will destroy biological and chemical contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, smoke, formaldehyde, cleaning solvents, etc. Click here for a list of contaminants treated by Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers.

Induct models are designed to run 24 hours a day. That is not to say that they will. The in-duct models have a sensor, which means the unit will only run when the fan is on.

Simply put, a filter is designed to be effective on selected impurities while a purifier treats water for a spectrum of contaminants. Purifiers will normally be tested in accordance with government lab standards and have documented test results available. Very simple filters may appear cheaper at time of purchase, but in addition to the increased efficiency of a purifier, the long term operating costs are generally less and you will be buying a lifetime item versus a cheap disposable.

By providing HEPA quality air filtration without the filter, Kronos™ products are less expensive to operate. Why? Kronos™ products use less energy because they do not use a fan to force air through a fabric filter and they eliminate the high cost of replacement filters.

First and foremost, a HEPA air filter is simply that, a filter. It can only remove particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air that passes through it, while Biozone® units can remove particles as small as 0.01 microns from the air in the purifying chamber as well as the air and surfaces outside the chamber. HEPA filters are fragile glass-fiber filters that MUST be replaced when dirty.

There are several reasons for this. With the technology that we use, our units are capable of removing particles and contaminates down to .01 microns! To put this in perspective, a HEPA filter only removes particles down to .05 microns, and if the filter is not perfectly sealed in gel, many contaminates leak past the filter anyway.

Yes. The electrostatic process is capable of removing a moderate amount of odor through precipitation. As particulate matter is given an electrostatic charge, odor molecules can get drawn into this static field as well, hence removing them from the air stream.
