What is a washable photocatalytic filter?

The washable photocatalytic filter has a two-layer construction consisting of a
white particle filter and a blue air-freshener filter.
<Particle filter>

The fine particle filter removes pollen* and dust particles.

<Air-freshener Filter>

The special air-freshening agent contained in the fibres of the air-freshener
filter absorbs dorants such as ammonia. The odor is broken down by
photocatalysis renewing the airfreshening properties. 

As the filter's particle and air-freshening properties are renewed by simply
soaking and leaving it to dry in the sun, the air purifier can be used
continuously over a long time. Cigarette smoke and toxins found in smoke,
such as carbon monoxide, cannot be removed with this filter.

* Diameter of pollen: approx. 10-100

Indicator

High humidity
warning

The
