Technologies in Order of Position
in Air Flow Stream:
1. Anti-Bacterial Pre-Filter
Air first passes through the Multi-Tech's
anti-bacterial pre-filter. Preserves the life of other
filters, so more pores can remain available in the activated carbon and HEPA air
filters for the harder-to-remove pollutants.
Destroys bacteria to help prevent them from
reproducing and recirculating into the air.
2. Activated Carbon Air Filter
The activated carbon is next in line after
the pre-filter. Specializes in
capturing and neutralizing chemicals, gases, odors and cigarette smoke, which
the HEPA filter cannot capture.
3. True HEPA Air Filter
After the air has moved past the
pre-filter and carbon filter, removing larger particles, many bacteria,
chemicals, odors, etc., it comes to the thick layer of HEPA filtration.
Removes 99.97% of particles (at .3
microns in size) that pass through the filter, as verified through strict
testing procedures. Largely considered the most effective type of air filter for
solid particles, such as dust and other allergens, such as pollens, pet dander,
mold spores, ragweed, dust mites, etc.
4. Germicidal Ultraviolet Light
The UV lamp is positioned behind the HEPA
air filter. The UV lamp destroys the micro-organisms (such as viruses and some
bacteria) that cannot be captured by filters.
Destroys micro-organisms. UV light is
scientifically proven to destroy viruses, germs, bacteria, fungi (including
mold), etc. Reduces illness & disease. UV light has been used for years by the
medical field to sanitize rooms and equipment, and to prevent the spread of
illness and disease. Recommended by Centers for
Disease Control for its ability to destroy biological pollutants.
Sanitizes the HEPA Air Filter.
This powerful UV lamp is positioned where it can effectively sanitize the Hepa
air filter.
5. Air Ionizer
The ionizer is located just inside the air
outlet. It circulates air-cleaning negative ions into the air.
Effectively removes particulate from the air,
such as bacteria, smoke, and allergens such as mold and dust mites. Circulates
ions throughout the a room, in areas where the filter has little effect.
Increases the effectiveness of the HEPA by causing smaller particles to
conglomerate into larger particles, according to Journal of Hygiene.
Government studies show negative ions to be effective
at removing dust and micro-organisms from the air (U.S. Dept. of Agriculture).
Columbia University researchers found negative ions to have relatively no side
effects. Ozone Free. The ionizer does not produce ozone as a byproduct.
