Q. How does ultraviolet
light kill airborne organisms?
A. As the organisms circulates passed the high
intensity light, the UV ray breaks through the cell wall
and damages the DNA, rendering the organism inert and
unable to reproduce and cause illness, allergies, or
asthma.
Q. Does BreatheCLEAN reduce mold in the air?
A. Yes. BreatheCLEAN kills
mold, bacteria, viruses, germs, dust mites, mildew, and many
other micro-organisms that are common in homes.
Q. How much electricity does the BreatheCLEAN unit
use?
A. It uses the same amount of energy as a 72 watt
light bulb, so it should cost approximately ten dollars
in electricity for an entire year.
Q. Should I keep the fan running?
A. For the best results, yes. However it is not
necessary. As long as you turn the fan on for 2-4 hours
per day, you'll have excellent air purification
throughout your entire home.
Q. Where should I locate
the BreatheCLEAN unit if I already have a humidifier
attached to the cold air return?
A. The best place would be above the humidifier.
However, if there is no space above the humidifier and
you want to locate it below the humidifier you must make
sure it is at least twelve inches below the humidifier
and you should place it as far below the humidifier as
possible.
Q. We have a furnace filter. Isn't that enough to
clean the air?
A. No. The BreatheCLEAN system does what filters
can not do. The BreatheCLEAN system actually kills the
organisms floating in your air. Filters just capture
particulate that is floating, and often the organisms
are so small that they flow right through most furnace
filters.
Q. How often should the UV bulbs be replaced?
A. To maintain the highest efficiency and killing
power the bulbs should be replaced once per year.
Q. Is the "blue glow" that I can see in some of my
vents dangerous to my eyes or skin?
A. The ultraviolet light is dangerous when it is
in direct line of sight. The "blue glow" that you may
see is being reflected through the ducts and is not
dangerous to you. NEVER LOOK AT THE ULTRAVIOLET LIGHTS
DIRECTLY. NEVER EXPOSE YOUR SKIN TO THE ULTRAVIOLET
LIGHT DIRECTLY.
Q. What is the warranty?
A. The unit has a full warranty for five years.
The warranty on the bulbs is nine months.
Q. If our home has more than one furnace do I need
more than one BreatheCLEAN?
A. Yes. You need to install one per furnace
system.
Q. How long is the power cord?
A. Twelve feet.
Q. What tools are included in the Installation
Toolkit?
A. The kit includes a bi-metal hole saw and the
two other drill bits needed for easy installation. The
unit comes with a stick-on template for accurate
drilling, and mounting screws.
Q. What tools will I need for installation?
A. You will need a power drill and screwdriver.
That's it!
