How The System WorksDust and other irritants are pulled into the Air Purifier by the fan. The Washable Pre-Filterattracts larger particles like pet dander and hair and traps them on the Pre-Filter. Smallerparticles such as dust, mold, and pollen pass through the Pre-Filter and are captured by theHEPA filters. Up to 99.9% of particles can be captured.The UVC Light helps kill particles not trapped on the HEPA Filters and the PhotocatalyticOxidation screen removes harmful VOC’s. Clean, purified air is then released into the roomthrough the front grill as the Oxygenating Catalyst converts smog and ozone back intooxygen.
