The Mayo Clinic has found
that air cleaners attached to
whole-house systems are
generally more effective than
freestanding air cleaners. An
optimal solution for central
HVAC systems, the PureAir
Air Purification System installs
easily on the air handler
(return air side),* where a filter
would typically be placed.

* One unit should be used in each air handler and model selection should be based on the size of the air handler. PureAir units should NOT be placed in the
supply side (after the heater) because the higher temperature may compromise system performance.
The effects of odors and chemical vapors on your
comfort and health depend on the types and
concentrations of them within your home, as well as
your individual sensitivity. Generally, the more odors and
chemical vapors in the home, the more likely you are to
suffer an adverse reaction such as dizziness or shortness
of breath. This is especially true if you have asthma or
some other respiratory ailment.

can come from many different
sources inside and outside
the home. Once inside the
home, these pollutants
circulate through the
ductwork, entering every
room and living space. Using

System helps remove the
hundreds of odors/chemical
vapors that can contaminate
your home’s air.
