How the
Airfree Onix Air Purifier Works
Airfree® is the only technology that safely destroys
airborne allergens, mold spores, mildew, dust mite allergens, viruses,
bacteria, and pet dander. The Airfree® Onix does not use harmful
emission such as UV light or ozone. Instead, it uses heat with no
noticeable heat contribution to the room temperature. Airflow is quietly
achieved through air convection generated by Airfree® ?s patented
Thermodynamic Sterilizing System (TSS™) that sterilizes air at high
temperatures. Cooler air is then continuously drawn into the Airfree®
Onix. There is no need for a noisy fan, moving parts, and best of
all, no maintenance!
Airfree Onix FAQ
Does Airfree provide
Independent Laboratory Tests to prove their claims?
Airfree has been submitted to independent tests like no
other air purifier manufacturer on the market. Be wary of air
purifiers that claim to have been laboratory tested for efficiency.
As a matter of fact, most tests that certain manufacturers have arranged
in order to prove microorganism reduction in an environment, take place
in extremely small (350 cu.ft.) and closed chambers. In other words,
these tests are not performed in "real working conditions," with people
walking around, air conditioning systems operating, and open windows and
doors allowing for air circulation.
Without air circulating in the environment, it is common for mold spores
to deposit themselves on surfaces, leading to their natural reduction in
the air.
Does the Airfree Onix
generate ozone? Is it safe?
According to both the EPA and FDA, ozone is a toxic gas
that can destroy lung tissue, trigger asthma attacks, and cause many
other respiratory diseases. Also, some manufacturers claim that
their machines produce ozone levels below the .05 ppm limit established
by the EPA. However, if a machine only produces .02 ppm, but
circulates that air in the room 4 times per hour, ozone can concentrate
to levels well beyond what is considered safe in a short period of time.
Airfree's state of the art TSS technology actually reduces ozone.
How much will it cost to operate the Airfree
Onix? What about "Hidden Costs"?
A marketing strategy of several manufacturers is to sell
their products at low prices, and then turn their large profits in the
form of replacement filters and UV bulbs. Replacement filters can cost
in excess of $150 per year, and UV lights can cost well over $30 per
year. Ionizers and ozone generators using glass plates require
frequent cleaning and maintenance. Plus, these glass plates break very
easily, and often need to be replaced. Ceramic plates are much less
susceptible to damage, but they are still vulnerable. In fact, you
can spend more on the replacement parts in one year than what you paid
for the machine! This is without even considering the cost of running
the machine. With Airfree®, there are no fans, no UV lights, and
no filters! The extraordinary Airfree® Thermodynamic Sterilizing
System (TSS™) saves you money, and the Airfree® Onix is totally
maintenance and replacement parts free.
What about noise generated
by the Airfree Onix?
Some air purifiers must operate fans to reach their
highest purification level. Customers should consider whether they could
sleep with such noise.
The Airfree® Onix is totally silent, and does not need a fan, as it
moves the air naturally by convection.
Is the Airfree Onix's
technology clean and environmentally friendly?
Some air purifiers use glass filter fibers, triclosan-coated
paper, and other materials that can be harmful to the environment when
disposed of. The Airfree® Onix uses only heat.
No additional V.O.C.'s or dangerous ozone is generated, and there are no
filters or UV Lights to replace. The Airfree®
Onix offers exceptional performance and is harmless to the environment.
What About Size and
Portability?
It is wise to purchase an Air Purifier that does not
occupy a great deal of home space. Also, it is a great luxury to have a
product that you can take on vacations or wherever indoor contamination
is present. The Airfree Onix is not only compact, but it also features a
sleek and stylish design.
