FILTRATION PROCESS / INSTALLATION 

 

1st Stage -  Pre-Filter  

The washable pre-filter removes large particles such as dust, pet hair and dander, fungus and mold.  

2nd Stage  - HEPA Filter  

High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (HEPA) filters are designed to remove 99.97% of all air pollutants that are 

as small as 0.3 micrometers such as pollen, allergens and dust mites. For reference, 1 micrometer is 1/100th 

the width of a human hair. HEPA filter has much higher filter effectiveness than compared to electrostatic/ionic 

type air purifier and does not emit potentially harmful ozone. 

3rd Stage - Activated Carbon Filter 

Also called the activated charcoal is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and 

thus to have a very large surface area available for absorption of airborne chemicals, gases and odor. It elimi-

nates and removes chemical fumes, toxic gases, smoke, pet and other odors. 

4th Stage - Photocatalyst 

Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is not a filtering technology, as it does not trap or remove particles. It eliminates 

and kills 99% of organic contaminants such viruses, mold and bacteria by completely oxidize and degrade or-

ganic contaminants. Helps to potentially reduce the spread of influenza and other airborne illnesses. 

5th Stage—UV Bulb 

Ultraviolet germicidal UV bulb (UV light wavelength: 365nm) is commonly used for sterilization, to kill 99.9% of 

bacteria and viruses. It breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as odors and gases like carbon 

monoxide and nitrous oxide. 

 

INSTALLATION 

The best location to install the air purifier is opposite a 

window or a door, this creates optimal air circulation 

within the room. If it is used in an air-conditioned room, 

place the air purifier opposite the air conditioner, this 

creates optimal air circulation within the room. 

 

Keep a distance of at least 3 feet of space between the 

air purifier and any equipment which emits electric 

waves such as televisions, radios or wave clocks. 

 

Ensure that there is at least a 6” clearance around the 

appliance. This allows for adequate ventilation.
