For allergy sufferers and those
concerned with indoor air pollution:
According to the American Lung Association and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the three major strategies for reducing indoor air
pollution (in order of overall effectiveness) are:
·
Source
Control
·
Ventilation
·
Air-Cleaning
Most products on the market are
console HEPA filters and only use air-cleaning - the least effective
strategy. The PuriFresh® Integrated Heat Recovery Ventilator/
HEPA Filter implements all three strategies. It HEPA filters fresh,
outdoor air, eliminating pollen, mold spores, soot, and smoke particles,
controlling a major source of
pollution, especially for the allergy or asthma sufferer.

It provides ventilation, bringing
in fresh air and exhausting stale air, eliminating odors, chemical vapors,
and hazardous gasses that might otherwise accumulate indoors. It also cleans indoor air, filtering out very fine
particles that are most hazardous to humans.
If you are an allergy or asthma suffer, you probably already have an air
cleaning device in some rooms. Air cleaners work best when doors and windows
to a room are kept closed. Yet, for adequate ventilation, the American Lung
Association recommends that you leave doors between rooms open most of the
time and that you leave some windows partially open when possible. The
PuriFresh® HEPA/HRV, installed in a room, provides all the fresh
air required for a room, allowing you to keep the windows and doors closed!
All of the fresh air provided is filtered through a true HEPA filter. In
addition, the fresh air is conditioned by heat and moisture exchange, giving
you a year round refuge from pollution, allergens, and stale air, helping to
maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor environment year round.
