Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi all, I have been looking into different kinds of air purifiers. Electrostatic; ozone; UV. These all have good points and some bad points. Well, I just found a system called Airwise that uses photocatalysts. I haven't heard of this before. Does anyone know if this is a safe process to the body? Information from internet. Airwise technology (photocatalysis) oxidizes odors, fungi, mold, parasites, and toxic chemical gases. At the same time, it settles dust and other large particles out of the air and destroys microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. Airwise creates inductive warmth, drawing humidity into the purifier. When humidified air enters the target area, a photocatalytic reaction occurs an superoxide ions and hydroxyl radicals are created. As an added benefit, positively charged indoor pollutants are treated by Wise Pointe technology (whatever that is!) which generates active negative ions at an accelerated rate, thereby enhancing the speed at which dust and other airborne particles are dropped out of your breathing space. It works outside of the box, so it is not necessary for pulluted air to actually enter the purifier. This process reduces allegens such as pollen, pet dander, dust and smoke and destrys viruses, bacteria, mold and mildew. There is no fan, so is quiet, no grid or filter to clean. Just replace the photocatalytic lamp module once a year. Any comments? jafa __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I have been using one of these for the past few years, http://www.surroundair.com/xj2100-ionic-air-purifier.htm well, actually I just got that one, but I used the model it was updated from for over 2 years and it works great. It produces lots of negative ions, which from what I understand are normally produced a lot in nature such as during storms etc...and they will help keep allergens and other stuff out of the air. I highly reccomend this brand, as I noticed a BIG difference in how the air felt during the winter when all the windows were closed. > > Hi all, > > I have been looking into different kinds of air > purifiers.
