WARNING! UV Light in operation. Disconnect unit from power
supply before servicing. Failure to follow warnings may result in
severe eye damage.
The MicroPure® Total Home Active Air
Purifier is a new generation HVAC air
system designed to reduce odors,
smoke, germs, and a broad spectrum
of indoor air contaminants.
The MicroPure® system is easily
mounted into HVAC system air ducts
where many air quality problems can
start. Using a unique technology, The
MicroPure® system uses UV light
energy to illuminate a quad-metallic
core to produce ionic oxidizers that
seek out and attack indoor pollutants.
These ionic “air scrubbers” clean the
air AND surfaces where ever the air
goes.
