We thought it would be helpful to answer some of the most frequently asked questions and share a few of the recent comments from our clients ...
FAQs:
What is the difference between a dehumidifier and the Air Oasis machines?
A dehumidifier is a household appliance used to help reduce the level of humidity in the air. They are generally not energy-efficient and are limited in their ability to stop or prevent mold. Mold, a type of fungus, requires moisture, oxygen, warmth, and food, which includes paper, wallpaper, wallboard, sugars (fruits, vegetables), fabrics, body oils, wood, dust, etc. All of these conditions are necessary for it to grow. Lowering the level of humidity helps but does not stop mold. In addition, dehumidifiers do not address any of the other harmful aero-allergens that we deal with on a daily basis.
Air Oasis Sanifiers, unlike dehumidifiers, are actually designed to destroy airborne mold, mildew, viruses, bacteria and other aero-allergens. They produce catalysts (a unique combination of catalytic molecules, hydro peroxides and super oxide ions) that radiate through a house providing 100% silent air purification.
How do the Air Oasis products work?
(This is a little technical) The Air Oasis™ air purifiers utilize state-of-the-art, energy-efficient technologies unique to any product currently on the market today: AHPCO™ Cell (Advanced Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation Cell) - the next generation in catalytic oxidation. The AHPCO™ Cell technology is the latest advanced oxidation technology that consists of a proprietary, high-intensity broad spectrum UV tube in a hydrated catalytic matrix cell that creates hydro peroxides, super oxide ions, hydroxyl ions, passive negative ions and ozonide ions that circulate throughout your home or business, providing 24-hour protection against not only airborne mold, but also bacteria, viruses, odors and VOC's (volatile organic compounds). All of these air pollutants combine to cause the allergic effects common in Panama and listed below.
Please provide some test data for Air Oasis machines
The Air Oasis technology has achieved the following results in tests by commercial, governmental and academic independent labs:
- 4-log reduction (99.9%) surface bacteria reduction
- Over 80% VOC reduction
- 97% airborne bacterial reduction
- 85% odor reduction
- 99.99% bacteria in water reduction
- 97% airborne mold reduction!
- Hospital approvals Infectious Diseases - U.S. and international
- 99% food surface microbial reduction
What health conditions are caused or made worse by mold & mildew?
In addition to its being an unpleasant odor and sight, mold can cause harmful effects to human health that might turn to allergic infections and toxic reactions. The most common allergic effects are:
- Nasal congestions and irritation
- Mucous membrane irritation
- Allergic reactions - Rhinitis and Asthma
- Sneezing and coughing
- Throat and eye irritation
- Difficulty breathing
- Asthmatic attacks
- Itching and skin stains
Again, it's important to note that the Air Oasis Sanifiers are very effective in destroying airborne mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, odors and VOC's, as opposed to merely reducing humidity.
What maintenance is required for the AO units?
For the AO250 Mobile units, one should plan to replace the AHPCO UV Cell once a year. In addition, the filter should be brushed off periodically, depending upon the amount of dust being filtered.
For the remaining AO units, the AHPCO UV Cell should be replaced only every 3 years. There are no filters to be replaced or cleaned, nor are there plates to be wiped off.
What is the warranty on the Air Oasis units?
The Air Oasis Mobile 250 units and AHPCO cells are covered for 1 year.
The Air Oasis 1000G3, 3000G3, 3000XG3, and 5000 units are covered for 3 years. The associated AHPCO Cells are covered for 2 years.
Please provide some practical information about mold.
Mold is a type of fungus, and it requires moisture, oxygen, warmth, and food, which includes paper, wallpaper, wallboard, sugars (fruits, vegetables), fabrics, body oils, wood, dust, etc. All of these conditions are necessary for it to grow.
Since we live near forests and rivers, there is a high concentration of mold colonies. You cannot keep spores and many other allergens out of your home, thus the importance of regular home cleaning (with vinegar) and maintenance. Eliminating or minimizing the before mentioned conditions in areas which are prone to have mold is essential! Please note that it is impossible to guarantee that mold will absolutely never grow in somebody's home, especially here in Panama. However, taking these steps, combined with regular use of Air Oasis "sanifiers" provides the very best results.
