PERFORMANCE

Air cleaners are effective only when air is circulated through

them. So, it is unrealistic to expect complete removal of all

contaminants. However, the efficiency of the Deluxe Media Air

Cleaner actually increases with use, and removes a very high

percentage of the pollutants from the circulated air. There is

pollution in air everywhere—even in the air we normally consider

fresh outdoor air. The infiltration of outside air into the home is

minimized by keeping doors and windows closed as much as

possible, therefore, increasing the indoor air quality.

You may have purchased your air cleaner for allergy relief. Allergy

cases differ widely—and the Deluxe Media Air Cleaner is not a

sure cure for any allergy. However, if you suffer from allergies

caused by pollen, mold, spores, dust and other airborne allergens,

this efficient air cleaner can be highly beneficial because it removes

up to 99% of these pollutants from the air passing through it.

The reduction of household dust, tobacco smoke particulate and

smudging particles may have been the motivating influence in

your decision to have an air cleaner installed. The Deluxe Media

Air Cleaner removal efficiency of these very fine particles and

pollutants reaches up to 95%. It follows, then, that since there are

less of these particles in the air, you may expect a reduction in the

necessity for dusting and cleaning and a longer time interval

between redecorating.

Particle sizes of pollutants vary and are measured in microns. A

micron is 1/25, 400th of an inch. A commonly used illustration of

their size is that it would take 200 microns to reach across a dot

made by a sharp pencil. Figure 1 shows the range of sizes, in

microns, of the most common pollutants.

MAINTENANCE

The Deluxe Media Air Cleaner requires no electrical component

service, is not affected by relative humidity or temperature. The

only maintenance required is the periodic replacement of the

disposable Source 1 Media which the homeowner can do in a few

minutes. The frequency of replacement will vary with operation

time, the amount of pollution 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. We recommend replacing the media each year.

However, if you do not run your blower continuously

(24 hours per day, 365 days per year) 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.

Always remember that your Source 1 Media is at its lowest

efficiency point when it is new. Efficiency increases with usage.

There is no efficiency or performance benefit from

replacing your media too often.

To obtain replacement media, please proceed as follows:

• Call the installer of your Deluxe Media Air Cleaner.

This information is often found on your equipment.

• Call us at 800-910-9675.

Detailed instructions on the easy replacement of the Source 1

Media are furnished with each replacement media.

For fulfillment of warranty parts, call us at 800-910-9675.

Use only genuine Source 1 Model S1-FM201 replacement media

(for Model 2025 Deluxe Media Air Cleaner) or Model S1-FM401

replacement media (for Model 1625 Deluxe Media Air Cleaner)

from your heating/cooling contractor. Imitation replacement filters

have less filtering surface area which equates to shorter service

life. In addition they are not as efficient as genuine Source 1

replacement media preventing you from maintaining the superior

air cleaning performance you originally purchased.

OPERATION

Household dust is typically an accumulation of particles in a size

range of .01 micron (1/2,540,000th of an inch—invisible to the

naked eye) up to 100 microns (the diameter of a human hair).

Pollens and spores, which can aggravate allergy symptoms, are

usually in the 10-100 micron size range.

The efficiency of the Source 1 Media on the smallest particle

which can be seen with the naked eye (approximately 10 microns)

reaches 99%.

The visible household dust particles, and nearly all pollen and

spore 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.

Continuous air cleaning will be accomplished when your

thermostat is set for continuous air circulation. If continuous air

cleaning is not required, or desired, you can manually set your

control for any time period you desire. Many thermostats have a

switch position for manual fan. “Automatic” turns on the blower

only when heating or cooling is required. “Fan” or “manual”

allows you to control blower operation.

For those who choose periodic cleaning, (as opposed to

continuous cleaning through continuous furnace blower

operation), the most important period is during—and for several

hours after—vacuuming your home. The vacuuming process

(unless you have a central vacuum system) stirs up a large volume

of dust particles which must be drawn into your air cleaner.

Many of the dust particles generated, while vacuuming, are so

heavy they “fall” out of the airstream 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 high efficiency media.
