Air Oasis 9 Air Cleaner User Manual


 
Introduction
The air you breathe is lled with thousands of particles of air pollution. Some of the
pollutants like dust and lint are large enough to be visible to the naked eye, but pol-
lutants such as pollen, smoke, germs, bacteria, etc., are microscopic in size. Your
Air Oasis™ Induct ACT™ air purier has been designed to destroy these invisible
pollutants and provide your home or place of work with the luxury of clean air.
The AHPCO™ Cell is designed to help eliminate sick building syndrome risks by
reducing airborne microbes, contaminants, VOCs and odors, with our advanced
AHPCO process. The AHPCO Cell is contained within the Induct ACT™ unit. When
the Earth Care system is in operation the AHPCO Cell uses an Advanced Hydrated
Photocatalytic Oxidation process to reduce airborne contaminants.
Why use Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation?
Germicidal UV light rays have been used for decades by the medical industry as
a method for destroying micro-organisms (germs, viruses, bacteria). Germicidal
UV light is effective in reducing airborne micro-organisms that pass through the
light rays. However, germicidal UV light has little to no effect on gases, vapors or
odors.
Ozone, on the other hand, is very effective on gases, vapors, VOCs and odors.
However, too much ozone can be a health hazard, and traditional methods of
producing ozone (i.e. corona discharge) have maintenance problems and create
nitric acid and nitric oxides which can cause damage to the respiratory system.
The combination of ozone (O
3
) and UV light, in the presence of our patent-pend-
ing quad-nano Xtreme™ catalyst, creates the Advanced Oxidation reaction. This
advanced reaction chamber creates ozone gas and destroys it within the same
chamber by converting it to friendly oxidizers. This oxidation further attacks the
micro-organisms as well as signicantly reducing odors and VOCs. By engineering
the proper light wavelengths in the dual function AHPCO Cell, we have effectively
designed a system that will not exceed the recommended Federal Safety Limits
for ozone (.04 ppm) in an occupied room, while still providing reductions in odors
and microbials.
With the Earth Care AHPCO Cell, many gases and odors are abated, micro-
organism reductions can be as much as 99%, and the room will have safe, low
ozone levels no greater than forest air, (.01 - .02 ppm) or air after a thunderstorm,
which gives the room fresh, clean odor-free air.

CAUTION
UV lamp may be hot and could
cause serious burns if not handled
properly. Please wait until AHPCO
Cell has cooled to room tempera-
ture to remove from unit.
Step 3
Remove three (3) wing-nuts secur-
ing the AHPCO Cell in place. Then
slide the AHPCO Cell up and out of
the unit.
AHPCO™ Cell contains Hg (Mer-
cury) and should be disposed of
according to disposal laws. Find
disposal centers at www.earth911.
org.
Step 4
Reverse steps 1-3 to set new AHPCO Cell in place. Be sure to place the
exposed tip of the ber optic cord between the rst rings of the new AHPCO
Cell and in close proximity to the UV lamp. This will ensure the indicator
light functions properly.
Replacement Date Reminder
The AHPCO™ Cell should be replaced every three years.
3 Years Date:
6 Years Date:
9 Years Date:
Hg lamp contains mercury. Manage in accord with disposal laws.
