Special
Consideration
For integrated system installation
•Verify clearance on the ductwork to
mount the unit using the Forced Air
heating/cooling system
•Minimum clearance requirements for
maintenance and service
•Electrical power requirements
•Interaction between the HEPA filter unit
and other mechanical devices.
Ducting Flair
System
installation
The Whole House HEPA Filtration system is
designed to install directly onto the return
air plenum of the forced air heating/cooling
system. Choosing this type of installation
eliminates the need to externally duct the
HEPA filter unit to the plenum system. If you
choose this type of installation, it is
recommended that you run the fan on your
forced air system continuously to maximize
its cleaning ability.
TIPS
to installer
The Whole House HEPA Filtration system
does not replace the filter from the forced
air heating/cooling system. Regular
maintenance of this filter is necessary to
permit the good operation of the forced air
heating/cooling system.
Optional collar
system
installation
Using kit no. 100608 the Whole House HEPA
Filtration system can be converted to use 8
inch round collars for application requiring
ducting. The kit includes two, 8 inch round
collars, two mounting brackets for wall or
floor mounting, installation guide and fas-
teners.

2.3 Types of Installation: Stand-Alone
PAGE 5
Installation GUIDE
Stand Alone
Attic Installation
Ideal for homes without a forced air
heating / cooling system. Allows for air
filtration and circulation throughout
the home.
HEPA system must be operated continuously
whenever a part or all the system
is located in an unconditioned space to
avoid condensation in the ductwork
below freezing (0°C, 32°F).
Stand Alone
Basement Installation
Ducting will usually consist of one return with
grille from one side of the home,
and one supply with grille at the opposite
end of the home.

3. General Operating Information
PAGE 9
Function
The Whole House HEPA system is comprised of a ventilator, speed selection
switch, 3 stages of filtration and the cabinet enclosure system. The ventilator
pulls air through the pre-filter and pushes the same air threw the impregnat-
ed carbon pad for odor control and finally the last stage of filtration is the HEPA
filter which removes 99.97% of particles 0.3µm in size.
Operation Mode Options
The unit features two speeds of operation for your convenience. The speed
selection switch is located on the front of the motor assembly. At lowest speed
the unit will provide 220 CFM of clean air while at highest speed, the unit will
provide 300 CFM of clean air. It is recommended that the unit be operated on
highest speed at all times to maximize the benefits of the HEPA filtration
system. If for some reason the filtration needs are not as important then one
might operate the unit at low speed.
An access door is provided at the front of the unit
to permit access to the filters and speed selection
switch. Opening the latch on the right side of the
unit will permit the door to swing open. A safety
door interlock switch cuts the power to the motors
for your safety. If needed the door can be removed
from the cabinet hinges by holding the top part of
the door with one hand and gently taping on the
bottom edge of the door with the other hand to release the door from its
hinges.
Recommended Operation
The return plenum mount model operates in conjunction with your forced air
heating/cooling system. A forced air distribution system continuously
circulates the same air inside your home. The whole house HEPA filtration
system operates on the principal of bypass filtration, which means that a
portion of the air being returned into the furnace is filtered on each pass. Over
time all the air in the home gets cleaned. It is recommended that the furnace
blower be in operation whenever the filtration system is in operation.
For stand-alone attic installation, the HEPA filtration system must be
operated continuously whenever a part of all the system is located in an
unconditionned space to avoid condensation in the ductwork below freezing
(32°F ,0°C)
Maintenance of the unit should be performed at regular interval to keep the
benefits of the HEPA filtration unit.
