How Important is Indoor Air Quality?
Did you know that the EPA has identified indoor air quality as
one of the top environmental concerns? With people spending
90% of their time indoors, air quality is certainly something to
be concerned about.
Asthma and allergies are on the rise. Asthma afflicts over 26
million North Americans with the number of emergency room
visits and hospitalizations escalating annually. Asthma is the
#1 cause of school absenteeism.
Even the cleanest indoor spaces are home to millions of
allergy-producing pollen, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and airborne microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and
mold. These pollutants and contaminants can trigger health
issues ranging from the common cold to severe allergies and
asthma.
Mold, mold by-products and their odors are the leading cause
of allergic symptoms such as sneezing, watery, itchy eye,
coughing, headaches and sinus congestion. Your heating
and air conditioning system provides the perfect damp, dark
breeding ground for mold to grow and thrive. The mold attracts
dust and dirt that continue to build up on the heating and
cooling coils, drain pan and ducts. Every time the system runs,
it disperses these harmful pollutants into the air that building
occupants breathe.
What can I do?
By installing the UVC Germicidal Kit, you can benefit from a
clean, healthy indoor environment. Designed to fit new and
existing systems, the UVC Germicidal Kit was developed to
destroy airborne microorganisms for clean, germ-free air.
How Does It Work?
UVC is the most effective germicidal wavelength in the
ultraviolet light spectrum that will destroy the bonds of the
DNA and RNA of microorganisms, killing or inactivating the
microbes, surface and airborne mold as well as viruses and
bacteria. UVC greatly reduces allergy and asthma symptoms
and prevents the spread of everyday colds, flus and other
seasonal illnesses.
Installed inside your system near the coil, the UVC lamp bathes
the cooling coil, drain pan and the air with UVC energy. Its high
energy wavelength destroys the mold, bacteria and viruses
that grow there or circulate in the air before they travel around
your home or building and trigger allergic reactions or spread
disease.
The UVC Germicidal Kit is effective against:
• Mold and mold spores
• Bacteria, including TB, Legionella, E. coli, Listeria,
Pseudomonas, Serratia and whooping cough
• Viruses, including colds, flu, measles, mumps and SARS
• Musty odors produced by mold and its by-products
• Fouled coils that reduce system performance
The multi-patented UVC lamp offers the highest output and the
lowest life-cycle cost of any UVC product. It is reliable and safe
with no ozone
or secondary contaminants.
Operation
The UVC lamp operates all the time. In order to maximize
germicidal effectiveness, it is recommended that the fan
selector switch on your home thermostat be in an “on” position
at all times.
In order to continuously clean the air, the air must be
circulated past the germicidal lamp. Running the lamp and fan
continuously ensures the cleanest air and the best protection
from irritants and pollutants.
Maintenance
The UVC Germicidal Kit must be changed at 9,000 hours
(approximately 12 months) of operation or sooner to maintain
design output and to ensure germicidal effectiveness.
The indicator light on the front panel of the power supply
housing will change from blue to yellow to remind you to
contact your HVAC contractor. When the indicator light turns
red, the lamp must be changed to maintain the highest level of
air quality.
Blue light: up to 7,000 hours
Yellow light: 7,000 to 9,000 hours – time to call for service
Red light: replace Kit
The US Environmental Protection Agency classifies UVC lamps
