Indoor Air Cleaners

Why are Indoor Air Cleaners important today?

• Awareness of the hazards of contaminated indoor air is increasing.
• The EPA classifies indoor air quality as the number one air pollution problem today.
• The EPA has noted that indoor air is 2 to 58 times, and as high as 100 times, more polluted than outdoor air.
• News reports about asthma, allergies, sinus problems, mold sick building syndrome appear frequently in the media.
• Allergies afflict one out of every three people and indoor air quality is being blamed.
• Asthma has increased threefold in the last twenty years and is now the leading cause of death in young children.
• Mold is an increasingly important health hazard. The mayo clinic reports that almost all sinus problems are caused by airborne mold toxins.
• Chemicals in common household products are triggering cases of Multiple Chemical Syndrome.

• The housing is powder-coated steel. Most off the shelf air cleaners are plastic and may emit plastic vapors.
• The motors are American made. The power consumption is lower than the off-shore motors used in most air cleaners. The savings are hundreds of dollars over the life of the unit.
• The motors are sealed and have minimal varnish on the windings, which prevents off gassing of harmful vapors.
• The filters are sealed with glueless felt gaskets to maximize filtration. Most air cleaners have glued rubber gaskets, which may cause emissions of harmful vapors and rubber odors.
• The carbon and HEPA filters are separate and can be changed at different intervals. This lowers operating costs.
• True HEPA filters traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
• Activated carbon adsorbs noxious gases and odors and mold mycotoxins
