Introduction
Congratulations! You’ve purchased one of the most advanced products available on the
market today to improve indoor air quality. Many people do not take the time to consider
the safety of the air we breathe. People are concerned with having healthy food, clean
water, and a safe, clean home to protect them, but most overlook the air we breathe.
There is nothing more important to our health than having a continuous supply of clean
air. While air is essential to life, it can also carry germs, viruses, molds, and pollutants airborne pathogens that can do more harm than good. Many people realize that outdoor
air can become polluted, but the EPA has reported that indoor air can be up to 5 times
more polluted than outdoor air. That is the reason Hunter developed the Air Sterilizer.
The Hunter Air Sterilizer captures 99.97% of airborne pathogens - germs, viruses, mold,
and mildew - that enter the system. Hunter’s licensed patented technology then kills 99.9%
of virtually everything that has been captured within 24 hours of entering the system.
With a CADR rating of 300, the Argenus can clean a room of 21’ X 22’ about 5 times per
hour, provide your family with fresh clean air that is essentially free of airborne diseasecausing pathogens.
