Deodorizing effect
SANYO's electrolyzed water technology is already at work in swimming pool sterilization systems and in
SANYO's zero-detergent cycle washing machines. Now this same virus washer technology has been used
to create an air purification system that is capable of using the 'power of water' to clean the air in large
spaces where people gather. This system removes airborne viruses, bacteria and mold, as well as pollen,
dust mite feces and shells, and removes odors caused by tobacco and pets.

Electrolyzed water works in several ways to help purify air
Viruses have

Purified cells
Test method: Air containing suspended germs is passed through the disinfectant element
containing electrolyzed water, after which the remaining airborne germs were trapped and
residual germ populations were evaluated in cell cultures by TCID50 assay. Testing organization:
Gunma Prefectural Institute of Public Health
*3: Testing method: Mold particles were suspended in an approximately 9-cubic-meter test chamber and disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into the chamber. An air sampler was used to evaluate the number of residual airborne mold particles.
Testingorganization: Japan Food Research Laboratories *4: Testing method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber containing pollen particles, and the reduction in the number of pollen particles was evaluated by the enzyme
antibody method. Testing organization: Osaka Medical College *5: Test method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber containing dust mite particles, and the reduction in the number of dust mite particles was evaluated by
the enzyme antibody method. Testing organization: Kobe University School of Medicine *6: Test method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber containing dog and cat dander allergens, and the reduction in the number of
dander allergens was evaluated by the enzyme antibody method (ELISA). Testing organization: Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd. *7: Test method: Three gases with different odors (acetaldehyde, acetic acid, and ammonia) were released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber
and then passed through a disinfectant element. The percentage of residual gas was then measured. Testing organization: SANYO Electric * 8: Test method: Four gases with different odors (ammonia, acetic acid, trimethylamine and methyl mercaptan) were released
into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber and then passed through a disinfectant element. The percentage of residual gas was then measured. Testing organization: SANYO Electric
Test method: Bacteria were suspended in a 2-cubic-meter test chamber and the air purification
system (Air Washer with Disinfectant Element) was operated. Microbes remaining in suspension
were trapped periodically and the change over time was evaluated by the pour plate method.
Testing organization: Gunma Prefectural Institute of Public Health together with SANYO Electric.

The hypochlorous acid and hydroxyl radicals in the electrolyzed water destroys the germ’s
membrane proteins effectively inactivating it.
Suppresses viruses
The Air Washer is based on electrolyzed water
technology developed by SANYO. This system
electrolyzes tap water containing chloride ions to
generate hypochlorous acid and hydroxyl radicals,
which are two different types of active oxygen
species that suppress germs. Maintaining a high
concentration of these active oxygen species in the
electrolyzed filtration water effectively fights
microbes.
Mechanism of germ suppression by electrolyzed water
Effectively suppresses airborne germs and allergens
A double punch using two different agents that are very effective in purifying air, hypochlorous acid and hydroxyl radicals,
rapidly suppresses and sterilizes infectious agents and removes odors.
The disinfectant element inside the unit suppresses germs and bacteria.

Deodorizes
Odors
Safely and effectively purifies over 20,000 cu.ft. per hour of indoor air.
SANYO’s Electrolyzed Water technology transforms ordinary tap water to safely remove up to 99% of germs, bacteria, dust particles,
allergens, odors, smoke, molds, and VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) without generating any harmful ozone.
SANYO’s Electrolyzed Water Technology protects your loved ones from polluted air.
Protect your employees, students, customers and families from airborne contaminants, reducing sick days, lower productivity,
unemployment insurance and medical costs.
Good for the Air. Good for your Environment.
No harmful chemicals used during the purification process. In addition, the SANYO Air Washer Pro does not release any harmful ozone
into the environment.
Time-tested and Proven Technology
Electrolyzed water has been used for years in industries such as food processing, water sterilization, hospital and laboratory use. SANYO’s
technology has been verified by independent third party testing facilities and has been industry-proven for over 20 years.

Purified air
Supplied pre-filter +
high-efficiency filter
The pre-filter works with the high-efficiency
filter to increase effectiveness against pollen
and to prevent clogging of the disinfectant
element by dust and other particles. A highperformance micro-particle filter (purchased
separately) capable of trapping finer pollen
and dust particles is also available.
Auto louver
The louver opens when the unit is turned on,
and closes when it is turned off, to prevent
dust from entering. When the airflow
direction is adjusted, the position is
automatically stored in memory. The louver
swings in a range of 0 to 23 degrees.
TREATED AIR VOLUME Indicator
Control panel
Includes a child lock function to prevent
children from tampering with the system.
1.5 gallon water supply tank
The tank allows about 10 hours of use at the
standard airflow. A lamp lights and an alarm
sounds to indicate when the water needs to
be replenished.
Automatic salt water dispenser
Provides a 6 month supply of salt water which is
automatically added in the electrolyzing process.
Humidity control
SANYO believes in a Think GAIA vision.
We set our sights on the invisible -
the air for the health of the children and
future generations.
Controls airborne germs by circulating electrolyzed water through the
disinfectant element. Indoor air is then actively passed through the
element “washing” away airborne pathogens and other toxins.
Quickly and powerfully purifies air in
spaces as large as 1050 sq.ft.
More than 99%
reduction in germs after
a single passage through
the element.
Disinfectant element
One LED lights for each 10,600 cu.ft. of air
that has been purified. (Displays in 5 steps,
and returns to zero when the unit is turned
off.)
Pre-filter
high-efficiency
filter
Allows about 10 hours of
continuous operation.
Adjusts the airflow direction and
prevents dust intake.
Sensors and variable airflow
controls prevent over-humidification.
Clog-resistant honeycomb
Indicates the treated air volume.

*1: Operating noise was measured in an anechoic chamber, and is the value at a position 3.3 ft in front
of the system and a height of 3.3 ft. The operating noise after actual installation is ordinarily louder
than this value, due to surrounding noise, echoing, and other effects.
*2: The power consumption, amperage, rated airflow and operating noise in the powerful deodorizing
mode are the same as in the high mode.
