Engineering and Easy Self Service: The Catalytic PURE AIR is so well designed that you can replace the ultraviolet lamp (once every year) and the filters (once every two years) in less than five minutes without tools. Built in electronic service lights tell you when to change the filters and lamp 30 days in advance so you always know your air purifier is operating at peak performance.

Performance Data Summary Truesdale Laboratories, located in Tustin, CA, USA was selected to test the QA-20 air purifier for particle removal efficiency, room air particle reduction and ultraviolet intensity at 254nm. Truesdale Laboratories is certified by both the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to perform chemical, mechanical and microbiological testing to NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) protocol. Airguard Research and Technical Center, located in Louisville, Kentucky, USA was used to test the filters for toxic chemical removal and air flow resistance properties. Filters were tested to ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) method 52.1-92. The Catalytic Pure Air air purifier was tested against real world atmospheric dust in an actual room environment as a complete product. This is important as most manufacturers pass along the ratings supplied by the manufacturer of the HEPA media and never really test the filter as a finished product. The following is a test summary of the results 1. The Catalytic PURE AIR air purifier effectively reduced the level of airborne particles ranging in size from 0.3 to 5.0 microns by 97% to greater than 99%. 2. Operation of the unit in a closed room with a volume of 2,000 cu. ft. (room size of 240 sq. ft.) reduced airborne particle counts of 0.3 micron by 63% in a period of only 40 minutes. 3. Operation of the Catalytic PURE AIR Model No. QA-20 on whole home tests up to 2,350 sq ft.. in size showed a reduction of particles ranging in size form 0.3 to 5.0 microns by 77.8% to 95.1% in a twelve hour period. 4. Test showed that the large filter size maintained an air flow resistance below 0.31 inches of water column at 90 cu. ft. of air per minute. 5. Reduction of Organic hydrocarbons was implemented using high levels of toluene at 85 ppm. (1) part per million is the maximum contaminant level allowed in a chemical manufacturing facility by OSHA. Such toxic compounds would only exist in the part per billion ranges in a home environment for a point of reference. Even at elevated levels, the gas adsorbing media reduced the total by 26% on the first pass through the filters. 6. Measurement of ultraviolet output the 254 nm wave length at a distance of (1) inch from the lamp indicated an average output of 11,700 microwatts per centimeter sq. The energy required to kill most disease causing viruses and bacteria is approximately 6,000 to 8,000 microwatts of UV light.
