The PureMate PM210UV ionic air purifier, air ionizer can remove just about any type of airborne particle or pollutant, including allergens (e.g. pollen, pet dander, dust, ragweed), micro-organisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses, mould), chemicals and odours. How It Works: Germicidal UV Lamp The air first sweeps past the germicidal ultraviolet light after entering the air inlet. The UV light is lethal against harmful, airborne micro-organisms such as germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi (such as mycotoxins from mould). Collects Particles & Pollutants Airborne particles and pollutants are magnetically attracted to the metal dust collection plates, like a magnet. The built in fan, along with the electronic breeze, draw pollutants through the unit and its magnetically-charged plates. Then, you simply wipe the plates clean periodically, removing them from the environment. When the metal dust collection plates become full of particulate and residue, simply wipe them off with a damp cloth. Then, dry the plates and reinsert. It’s that easy. The amount of contamination collected by the rag will give you and idea of how much airborne pollution is being removed. You Can Really See the Difference! Circulates Negative Ions Negative ions are accelerated in large numbers throughout the room, removing airborne particles and pollutants from the air. Features and Benefits Most Effective Way to Destroy Harmful Micro-Organisms - No air purification technology is more effective than a germicidal UV lamp when it comes to destroying germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi (such as mold), which can lead to illness. Circulates Air Cleaning Negative Ions - Found by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture to be 99% effective against airborne dust & particles. Proven Performance. Nearly 100% Effective - Achieved a 99.5% removal rate of particles in a large chamber. This is not just hype, as test results are patterned closely after real-world conditions. No Replacement Costs, No Filters to Replace - Just wipe off the metal collector grid. Saves you hundreds in replacement filters over the life of the unit.The built-in, independently-controlled fan effectively moves the air, increasing air-cleaning efficiency. Costs Just Pennies a Day to Operate - Uses less electricity than a light bulb, saving you hundreds more over the life of the unit, compared to most air purifiers. Whisper Quiet - The PM 210 UV is extremely quiet, especially if the fan is turned “off”. Highly Durable - Advanced materials and circuitry design promise to make the PureMate PM 210 UV the most durable ionic air purifier, air ionizer yet. Energy Efficient - Despite the added ionic power, the PureMate PM 210UV costs just pennies a day to operate.
