Filter Overview
Combination Pre-Filter
The pre-filter is a combination MERV15 particulate filter and treated GAC
(granular activated carbon). Our proprietary treated coconut carbon filter
(GAC) removes a wide variety of gases such as VOC’s, smoke, formaldehyde,
ozone, smog, and combustion gases. This filter should be replaced with every
9-12 months of use.
Main HEPA Filter
The main HEPA filter is rated at 99.99% at 0.3 microns. This filter should be
replaced with every 24-36 months of use or when the filter turns a dark grey
color.
More efficient and use up to 90% less power.
More reliable since it runs cooler.
More compact.
Quieter - no motor hum that you can get with an AC motor.
EC Advantages
Why does the motor/fan start and stop more slowly than an AC motor? EC
motors have a soft start programmed into the motor to limit the start-up
current the motor draws.The ramp down after power is removed is only a
function of the inertia of the fan and the friction of the bearing system. A
high quality bearing system will take longer to slow down and stop since the
friction is minimized (alignment is better, lubricant is better, etc.).

Power Switch
The Off/Reset switch at the back of the air purifier
serves two purposes: it controls power to the unit
and works as a circuit breaker. To operate the air
purifier the reset/On side of the switch must be
pressed down. There is no light with this switch so
it will not illuminate when on. This is to keep the
unit from generating light if used in a bedroom.
