Air So Purifier S-980 Air Purifier

Perhaps the most advanced air purifier for the price. This purifier has several techniques to purify the air but separates itself from the rest by using PCO technology. Next week I will follow up with a complete product review after I personally test it out.

This process utilizes low energy, ultraviolet light focused on a titanium catalyst in the presence of water vapor which generates hydroxyl radicals that destroy microbes in the air. Destroys airborne bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Ultraviolet Light attacks airborne viruses, fungi and bacteria by destroying the RNA and DNA complex. PCO also breaks down volatile organic compounds into benign constituents; such as water and carbon dioxide.

Below are manufacturer details, over the next week I will test this myself and report back with a complete write-up.

Here are the 6 steps that the S-980 uses to purify the air

Step One: Purifies the Air of Macro Particles

A treated (5) micron pre-filter removes a particles from the air larger than (5) MICRONS, extending the life of the HEPA filter and protecting the gas absorbing media from dust coating and fouling.

Step Two: Hospital Grade HEPA Filter Removes Allergens

A hospital grade HEPA filter removes allergens so small that they can only be seen with a microscope. Pollen, mold, fungal spores, dust mites, cockroach dust, tobacco smoke and bacteria are but a few examples.

Step Three: Absorbs Toxic Chemicals and Gases

A specially formulated gas absorption media absorbs automobile exhaust fumes, organic hydrocarbons, formaldehyde from particle board used in home construction, paint solvents, chlorine, cleaning chemicals and other fumes until the Photo-Catalytic converter destroys the pollutants.

Step Four: “Photo-Catalytic Oxidation” Destroys Toxic Chemicals and Eliminates Odors

Activated carbon, zeolite and potassium permanganate can rapidly absorb large quantities of toxic fumes however this media quickly becomes saturated and slowly releases pollutants back into the air stream. Photo-Catalytic Oxidation converts toxic compounds, even carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide, into benign constituents such as carbon dioxide and water without wearing out or losing its effectiveness,

Step Five: Ultraviolet Light Kills Disease Causing Germs on Contact

Ultraviolet light 10,000 times the intensity of sunlight kills viruses and bacteria too small to be filtered out by a HEPA filter, Ultraviolet technology combined with Photo-Catalytic Oxidation is the most important feature in air purification since germs are easily spread from one person to another by central heating and air-conditioning system..

Step Six: Negative Ions Improve Sleep and Keep Air Fresh

Oxygen in the air reacts with ultraviolet light to produce email amounts of negative ions and activated oxygen.
