ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Installed into the return or supply plenum, the Sanuvox proprietary process maximizes dwell (contact) time between the air and
UV energy. Installed in a residential HVAC system of up to 2 tons, the patented technology rapidly puries the air within the
home.
For information or recommendations on how to size your specic application, please call SANUVOX at 1-888-726-8869.
COMPONENTS
How it Works
Foul air is exposed to the UV ‘J’ lamp of the R1r that is positionned parallel to the airow, thus maximizing exposure time to
UV light. The reective mirror surface bounces additional UV energy into the plenum. The UV lamp helps reduce the biological
contaminants. Finally, the treated air circulates through the home.
The unit automatically turns on when the duct frame’s safety pin engages the limit switch.
