What is ActivePure Technology?
ActivePure is an air and surface purification technology. It has been proven in both laboratory and field testing to quickly reduce bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and VOC gases in indoor spaces. A more complete list of tested pathogens can be found at activepure.com/scientific-proof. The ActivePure Medical Guardian has been cleared by the FDA as a Class II Medical Device.
How does the ActivePure Technology work?
ActivePure works by replicating the cleansing power of the sun; this is known as photolysis. Sunlight cleanses the air we breathe by creating hydrogen and oxygen-based molecules that inactivate viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and unwanted gases at the molecular level. ActivePure Technology creates and distributes these same molecules indoors. The molecules are released into the air of a room, traveling safely to quickly inactivate pathogens in the air and on surfaces.
What is meant by "air scrubbing particles"?
ActivePure Technology produces molecules that fly through the air to inactivate pathogens in the air and on surfaces, imagine them scrubbing the air and surfaces clean. ActivePure is an active (as opposed to passive) purification method.
What is an "active purification technology" and how is it different from passive cleaning technologies?
Passive air cleansing technologies required a contaminant be pulled into and pass through a mechanism in order to be eliminated from the air. For instance, a filter draws air through it to capture contaminants. Passive systems generally work slowly compared to active systems. Active purification technologies such us ActivePue Technology, work by filling the air in a room with active molecules or energy - thereby going to the contaminant. With active technologies, contaminants can be inactivated quickly, even if they are not captured.
Does ActivePure Technology reduce dust, smoke, pollen, or dander?
ActivePure is a purification technology primarily designed for use against bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and VOC gases. It has also been shown to be effective in reducing dust, smoke, pollen, dander, and other particulates, and is even more effective as such when used in combination with a HEPA filter. Some ActivePure units include a HEPA filter to optimize the impact on these particles.
How much maintenance is required?
Very little. When used as directed, we recommend replacing ActivePure cells once a year; this is comparable to the maintenance of other cleaning technologies. HEPA filters and activated carbon filters in ActivePure units need replacement about once every 6 to 12 months. All these replacements can be performed by in-house personnel in a matter of minutes.
How can installing ActivePure Technology aid your organization's ESG (Environmental/Social/Governance) goals?
By installing a solution with a low-carbon footprint that does not leave residual surface chemicals, ActivePure Technology can be an integral part of your organization's energy and environmental goals. With ActivePure Technology, many clients reduce the ventilation and filtration costs, and attendant energy usage. Your commitment to employee/staff/customer/student peace of mind may also boost your reputation for good governance and social responsibility.
