Filter Self-Test (Trust your own testing)
Many other fine companies test their filters in the factory before they claim effectiveness. Yet they use laboratory test conditions where filters are rated and tested to meet the minimum quality required to perform in what they have decided is the “average home” environment. This is fine if you live in the average home. If they suggest you change your filters every six months, then during that time period your family should be safe, if you live in an average air pollution environment.
Yet maybe your specific air environment is cleaner than average, no big deal to replace a filter before it has become “used-up” as this is only an economic cost of the replacement. Yet what if the filter has past the life-time, has stopped absorbing or filtering out pollution? What if your specific environment has higher levels of carcinogenic gas-phase pollutants from smokers, or furniture/carpets/fabrics that give off VOCs as Formaldehyde, or any number of solvents and fumes. What if it stopped working only three months into the recommended 6 month life? Then you may be risking exposure to your family with a false sense of security that the air you are breathing is still safe.
Our units use the following method of introduction of a small puff of a proprietary safe vapor that our sensors can detect in very small amounts (200PPM) and therefore can both assure that the test vapor has indeed been release into the filter, and most importantly, that this test vapor has not leaked through the air purification system and indicates that the filters are past their useful life.
Our company knows that there are other fine air purification systems available on the market. We believe our unit is one of the finest engineered and highest quality available and it includes this technology. If you want to test your existing unit, please order our Filter Self-Test Kit, and assure your family that the system you have is performing as you expected. If not then you can order one of our units and we will send instructions on how you can install the test kit into your new unit, and we will credit your cost to the price of the new unit when you decide to upgrade.
