[GBlist] air/water purification



Karen,

In my observation and application the best filter for a central system is
by Aprilaire. They have a new model, Aprilaire Electronic, which not only
works as a deep plete but also places electrostatic charge grounding on the
plete. You can add to this an Ultraviolet Unit from Second Wind. Don't
forget to add a humidifier for example the Model 700 Aprilaire because a
45% relative humidity is best for killing microbes and the added humidity
keeps things cleaner with reduced static electricty. Your electronics will
love you for this raised level. These are the systems and models we use. We
have made only friends with them and gained a lot of third party witnessing. 

Another good thing about Aprilaire products is they do not over load the
static capability of air handler blowers in common systems. I have seen
clowns install HEPA and brag about it forgetting the critical match. This
resulted in insufficient air flow and later a damaged/lost compressor from
liquid flood back. With any Aprilaire Filter I also recommend an air
pressure differential switch to lock out cooling and indicate need to
change filters especially on commercial. 

The UV Exposure destroys microbe DNA and RNA as well as generates some
short lived O3. In addition the UV actually breaks down some air borne
contaminants. The two sites have lots more info.

www.freshpureair.com

As for water having a memory of toxins?.....How in the angle of the
Hydrogen...Subatomic spin? Sounds like someone has been doing wacky weed.

Again IMHO,
