Overview
The Lifebreath TFP Air Cleaner uses "Turbulent Flow
Precipitation" to remove the millions of dangerous airborne
particles in your home. This technology is based on the Dullien
Principle which removes tiny airborne particles which enter the
lungs and can cause respiratory problems.
The quiet operating unit has a 2-speed selector switch, along with
a high efficiency fan motor, and a foil faced insulated cabinet that
is easy to clean.

TFP (Turbulent Flow Precipitator) Technology removes health
threatening particles from the air far more effectively than most
other residential cleaners. It operates continuously at maximum
efficiency without the need for constant adjustment and cleanout.
Unlike some air cleaners, it introduces absolutely no ozone into
your home. It cleans the air throughout your home, benefiting all
the family, all the time. The TFP allows air to circulate freely,
without putting any extra load on your air distribution system.
Why do I need a TFP Air Cleaner?
The air in today's homes is 3 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor
air creating health problems such as asthma, allergies, headaches,
and fatigue for the home's occupants. The Lifebreath TFP Air
Cleaner will remove 99% of these polluting particles from your
home creating a clean and comfortable environment for you and
your family.
Will I notice a difference in the amount of dust in
my home?
We have received numerous testimonials from satisfied customers
attesting to the significant drop in dust found in the homes where a
TFP is installed.
Does the TFP generate harmful ozone?
The TFP series is an induced airflow system which requires no
electric charge.
Is the TFP a patented unique technology or just
another filter?
Nutech Energy Systems hold the patent for this TFP technology.
The TFP series are the only one of its kind.
How much maintenance is involved? How often do
the filters need to be replaced?
As tested under average household dust loading, the TFP should
be inspected annually. Typically the primary collector should be
replaced annually and the secondary collector should be replaced
every 2 years.
Optional Installation Kit: Part# 99-7TFP
Includes:
– two 7” Duct Connection Collars
– 12.5’ of 7” Duct
– four Nylon Duct Zip Ties
Location
The TFP should be installed in a conditioned space with easy
access for maintenance and an annual check up. A TFP is usually
installed in a basement area where air flow noise will be negligible
to the occupants.

There are three basic installation options. Select the best method
for your needs.
1. TFP to a Forced Air System; use Return/Return Method
(horizontal or vertical TFP installation)
2. TFP to a Fully Dedicated HRV System
- recommended when you wish to clean the incoming air from
the HRV
3. Stand Alone System – recommended for homes without forced
air systems (ie. radiantly heated homes).
