ABOUT THE HIGH EFFICIENCY AIR CLEANER
Your High Efficiency Air Cleaner is an investment in comfort and protection for your family. The Air Cleaner is much more efficient than ordinary furnace
air filters, and you may expect benefits if you suffer from allergies caused by pollen, dust and other airborne allergens. The High Efficiency Air Cleaner is
not a cure for allergy problems but you may discover that closing the house during the pollen season, and operating the heating and cooling system
blower continuously, will provide substantial relief.

The High Efficiency Air Cleaner will also provide marked reduction of
household dust and smudging particles so you can also expect a
reduction in dusting and cleaning.
The Air Cleaner has no electrical components and therefore requires
minimum service. It does not generate ozone and is not affected by
fluctuations in air temperature and relative humidity.
The Media Condition Indicator will show when the Air Cleaner media
needs changing. Media life of three years is not uncommon.
Changing the Media more frequently than suggested by the Condition
Indicator is not normally required.
