ABOUT DUCTWORX™
Fresh Air DuctwoRx™ is a new
generation HVAC Air System designed
to work with Fresh Air by EcoQuest
and BreezeAT to reduce odors, smoke,
and a broad spectrum of indoor air
contaminants.
Fresh Air DuctwoRx™ is easily
mounted into air conditioning and
heating system air ducts where many
problems can start. When the HVAC
system is in operation, DuctwoRx™
creates an Advanced Oxidation
Process consisting of hydro-peroxides,
super-oxide ions, and safe low levels
ozone - all friendly oxidizers that
revert back to oxygen and hydrogen
after the oxidation of a pollutant.
Used in conjuction with other
EcoQuest air purification systems,
Fresh Air DuctwoRx™ can boost
effectiveness and help distribute their
benefits throughout your home.
Installation Requirements
1. Unit should be installed after the air handler in the
HVAC system.
2. The duct work around the installation area should
be clean and dry to insure proper adhesion of the
gasket materials and any tape used.
3. An approximate 3.5” (8.89 cm) opening will need
to be cut into the existing duct work to install the
unit properly.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION TOOLS
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
3 1/2” Hole Saw
for wood or metal
(recommended) Drill/Power Driver Phillips Screwdriver
3/8” Drill Bit
(if installing into fiberglass
ducting with toggle bolts)
You may also need:
Utility Knife Tin Snips
(for metal ductwork)

1. Locate suitable area
of duct for installation.

Your DuctwoRx™ unit requires no periodic maintenance
beyond normal replacement of the RCI cell every 3 years.
Note: For optimal performance, EcoQuest recommends
the replacement of the RCI cell every 3 years, even if the
UV lamp appears to be operating normally.
The UV lamp operation indicator on the face of the unit
will glow when the UV lamp is in use. If the indicator
does not glow and the unit has power, the RCI cell
should be replaced.
