Page 6: Overview Of Air Quality
OVERVIEW OF INDOOR AIR QUALITY The GermZone® 100 is designed to remove contaminants from the air using a combination of filtration and an ultraviolet disinfection system to deactivate microbes from the air. In order to get the best performance from your system, certain factors should be considered: • The larger the room, the more time it will take for the unit to complete a full delivery cycle of treated air. • The sources of air contamination should be considered and reduced as much as possible. • Ventilation is important to air quality, and a source of fresh air for the room should be available. • As the unit’s filter becomes saturated, soiled or obstructed, the treatment efficiency will decrease. In unusually dirty or dusty environments, filter changes will need to be more frequent. UNPACKING YOUR UNIT ... -
