Destruction of Micro-Organisms. Very few air purifiers address the problem of micro-organisms. Airborne germs and viruses are commonly present in indoor environments, circulating sickness among occupants. Other micro-organisms can increase the risk of sickness, such as mycotoxins from indoor mold growth. Furthermore, dust is often loaded with bacteria. The ML 2000 includes a germicidal UV lamps for a larger dead zone for micro-organisms such as germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, these germicidal lamps sterilize particles trapped in the filters, which can otherwise reproduce and recirculate with other air purifiers.
Removal of Chemicals, Fumes and Gases. Most air purifiers are equipped with a way to trap dust particles and other allergens. However, very few are able to take care of chemical fumes that are common in households today. Chemicals fumes are emitted by building materials, paint, carpet, and several other sources. Chemicals are also added to the environment frequently through the use of household cleaners. Activated carbon filtration is the most effective filter available at trapping chemicals.
This is another area that air purifier makers often neglect. Your common dust removal filters will not reduce odors, a common indoor air quality problem. Activated carbon filters are effective against odors, which may be chronic (cigarette smoke or mold) or just a temporary problem (cooking) in your home or workplace.
Cigarette Smoke. If you have a smoker in your house or place of work, you need multiple technologies to cover all the pollutants associated with cigarette smoke. An ionizer will help to remove the smoke particles themselves, while the activated carbon filter will address the chemical pollutants and odors.
Ionizer Benefits. Not all air purifiers include a built-in ionizer, but it is becoming more and more common, due to the clear benefits they offer. In a Journal of Hygiene study, negative ions (produced by an ionizer) were found to improve efficiency of filter units. Ozone-free ionizers (such as that found in the Multi-Tech 2000) do not present any potentially negative side effects at all. Plus, negative ions can remove airborne pollutants where they are floating, without requiring they pass through the air purifier.
Quiet Operation ensuring peace and quiet while running.
Low Energy Usage ensuring low electricity costs, even if running continuously. Uses less than a single light bulb.
Low Replacement Costs (just $35 per year for replacement filter and UV lamps).
