INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your recent EnviroAire IAQ 5” Media Air
Cleaner purchase. We sincerely appreciate your business
and are pleased to add your name to our growing list of
loyal customers.
Please take a few minutes to read this booklet. This will
familiarize you with the benefits you will receive from the
equipment you’ve just purchased, and help you understand
the routing maintenance that will be required. IMPORTANT:
Scheduled replacement of EnviroAire IAQ 5” Media Air
Cleaner filtering media is necessary. See page 3 for details.
Your EnviroAire IAQ 5” Media Air Cleaner is an investment
in the health and comfort of your family and protection for
your home and furnishings. With this purchase, you have
invested in an air cleaner that is many times more efficient
than ordinary furnace or air conditioning filters with which
you may be familiar. There are many benefits you may
expect from your EnviroAire IAQ 5” Media Air Cleaner, this
manual is meant to acquaint you with these benefits, and
with operation and maintenance information to insure the
high level of performance this high efficiency air cleaner is
designed to provide.
An EnviroAire IAQ whole-home air cleaner is installed by
your heating and air conditioning contractor as one of the
components of your heating and cooling system. It cleans the
air that circulates through your home (see Figure 1).
When the heating and cooling equipment turns on, the air in
your home travels through the registers and return duct(s) to
the heating and cooling equipment where it is conditioned
and sent back into the rooms of your house through the
supply ducts. Small particles from numerous sources are
suspended in your home’s air, just as they are suspended in
the air outdoors. The largest of these particles may come to
rest, but with even the slightest disturbance will re-suspend
into the air. These particles are very small, and come from
natural sources such as dust and pollen and from man-made
sources such as tobacco smoke or exhaust. The air cleaner is
installed on or near the furnace/air handler and removes the
particles that travel with the air that circulates through your
heating and cooling system. Removing these particles keeps
the equipment components clean and more importantly
removes particles from the air you breathe. Particles are
measured in microns, which is a unit of measure used for
very small things (1 micron = 1/25,400 inch). For reference,
the diameter of a human hair is approximately 100 microns.
Figure 2 shows the size of various particles that can be
found in the air.
PERFORMANCE

OPERATION
Household dust is typically an accumulation of particles in
a size range of .01 micron up to 100 microns. Pollens and
spores, which can aggravate allergy symptoms, are usually
in the 10 - 100 micron size range.
Visible household dust particles, and nearly all pollen and
spores particles, therefore, can be caught and permanently
held, very easily, if you can get them to the air cleaner.
With central high efficiency air cleaners, the blower of your
heating/air conditioning system performs the air movement
function.
Until now, the air cleaner has been a passive component of
your heating and cooling system; when the equipment turned
on to heat or cool your home, the air cleaner was functioning.
Your thermostat turns on your heating and cooling equipment
and so, essentially, the thermostat determined when your air
cleaner operated.
Many of the dust particles generated, while vacuuming, are
so heavy they “fall” out of the air-stream before they can be
drawn out of your living area. This is why it is important
to do household dusting several hours after vacuuming.
Normally once the heavy particles “fall out”, they are only
reintroduced to the air by vacuuming, or similarly vigorous
activity.
Where allergy symptoms, which are aggravated by pollens
and spores, are a concern, continuous cleaning is strongly
encouraged.
To recap, when removing household dust is the major benefit
you are seeking, you should operate your air cleaner during
and following periods when dust is being generated or
“stirred up”. For pollens and spores which aggravate an
allergy condition, your cleaner must be operated continuously
when these pollutants are in the environment. The air cleaner
can only be effective when air containing the contaminants
is drawn through the filtering media.
MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance required is the periodic replacement
of the disposable EnviroAire IAQ Filtering Media which you
can do in a few minutes. The frequency of replacement will
vary with operation time, the number of particles generated
in the home and is affected by: number of people and their
activities, the amount of carpeting, pets, size of home,
number of smokers, the pollution level of the area.
EnviroAire IAQ recommends replacing the media each year.
However, if you do not run your blower continuously the
media may last up to two years. Air conditioning systems
larger than 3.5 tons, or heating systems larger than 130,000
BTUs per hour (1400 cfm), will require more frequent
attention if operated continuously.
CHANGING THE FILTER
Replace the filtering media with genuine EnviroAire IAQ filters, available for purchase at www.enviroaireiaq.com.
IMPORTANT: Follow the step by step directions to ensure that it is installed in the proper orientation (see Figure 3) – the
outlet side of the filtering media is the expanded metal. The model number for your replacement filtering media can be found
on the label inside the air cleaner door.
