AIR CLEANING SYSTEM
Improve your indoor air quality with your new Germ Guardian® Air Cleaning System. Multiple levels of cleaning include a combination filter that captures allergens, and a Charcoal filter to remove odors. UV-C Light Technology enhances germ-killing.
Pre-Filter Screen
Helps optimize the unit performance and extends the life of the filter by capturing larger dust and allergen particles.
Activated Carbon Filter
Traps and controls household odors and harmful VOCs in the home.
Filter
Reduces allergens.
UV-C Light
UV-C Light Technology works with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to enhance the elimination of airborne germs. TiO2 is activated by the UV-C light to decompose the remaining odor molecules caused by smoking, cooking, and pets.
Ionizer Option
Negative ions clear the air of dust, mold spores, pollen, pet dander, and odors. They do this by attaching to these positively charged particles in large numbers. This causes the pollen, mold, etc to become too heavy to stay airborne.
