High performance progressive
density filtration for better air
cleaning and long filter life
Homeowner / User Guide
Maintenance
The filter media in your air cleaner must be changed periodically. The frequency of
filter replacement is best determined by visual examination. However, a biannual
replacement of the filter is strongly recommended, more often in areas where dust is
know to be excessive. Replacement filters can be obtained through your installing
contractor or local dealer.
Steps for replacing filter:
1. Open the access door by pressing down on handle then pull top of door forward
slightly and lift.
2. Pull out used filter and discard.
3. Slide new filter into cabinet with airflow label pointing in the direction of the airflow.
4. Replace access door.

Professional Indoor Air Quality Product
ProgressiveMedia™Whole House Air Cleaner
We recommend that this unit be installed and maintained by a trained HVAC professional technician.
Shipping and Packaging List:
• Filter housing including access door
• MERV 11 ProgressiveMedia™ Air Filter
• Warranty Registration
Introduction and Application
Your Ultravation® ProgressiveMedia Air Cleaner is a high efficiency air filtration system designed to remove dirt, dust, pollen, and other microscopic particles from the air
that circulates through it. By adding it to your HVAC system, you are creating a cleaner indoor living environment for your whole household.
The filter works by trapping particles in its pleats and fibers. The filter is layered with
progressively tighter density from the air entry to exit. It captures the largest particles
early and increasingly smaller particles through its thickness. By holding dirt in
its entire thickness and because of its extra large surface area, Ultravation®
ProgressiveMedia™ has extremely high dirt holding capacity, so you will enjoy very
long useful filter life. Its size and layered construction also creates minimial air flow
restriction, enhancing HVAC system efficiency.
This media air cleaner is designed to be installed in a forced air heating, cooling
and ventilation system. It should be installed so that all the system air is circulated
through the filter. The air cleaner will only filter the air that is circulated through it.
For maximum filtration effect, set your blower to operate continuously.
See serial number label inside of equipment door for unit replacement part numbers.
Application with a Humidifier
The Media Air Cleaner is compatible with humidifiers. Avoid applications where water
mist will reach the media. When an evaporative type humidifier is used, it may be
installed between the furnace warm air duct and the return air duct without affecting
the air cleaner. Atomizing and spray type humidifiers should be installed at least six
feet between the air cleaner and humidifier.
Air Conditioning
The air cleaner should be installed upstream of the cooling coil to keep the coil clean.
This will improve cooling efficiency and reduce air conditioning coil maintenance.
Better efficiency directly affects energy costs, so it pays to replace the filter at regular
intervals (see Maintenence). Conversely, failure to replace the filter wastes energy and
it may cause damage to the HVAC system.

Typical installation of an Ultravation

Air Cleaner
Installation Requirements
The desired location for installation of an Ultravation® ProgressiveMedia™ Air Cleaner
is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment. In this location, the blower
motor and internal components will be kept clean. By installing the air cleaner in the
return (upstream from the cooling coils) the HVAC cooling coils in particular, will be
kept clean. This protection increases coil life, improving overall system efficiency,
saves power, and reduces maintenance costs.
Do not install this unit in the supply duct. Be sure to plan adequate space to allow filter replacement. Before installation is complete, seal all joints and seams airtight with
duct tape or caulking.
Once a ProgressiveMedia™ Air Cleaner is installed, it is very important to maintain the
unit by changing the filter periodically so as not to obstruct airflow, which can damage
components and increase energy costs.
Transitions
If the air duct does not fit the air cleaner cabinet opening, gradual transitions are
recommended to reduce air turbulence through the air cleaner and maximize
efficiency. Not more than 20 degrees (about 4" per running foot) of expansion
should be used on each side of the transition fitting. (See diagram below)

Turning Vanes
If the air cleaner is installed adjacent to a 90-degree duct elbow, add turning vanes
inside the duct to improve the air distribution across the face of the air cleaner.
