Dear Xxxxx,
My
daughter sent me your question about a HEPA system.
She figures my answer will be more complete since her
home does not have ducting and she does not have
experience with DuctwoRx.
My home in Florida has 4 heat pumps for A/C and heating
and I've had 5 DuctwoRx for more than two years. I
put two on one system just to see if I could tell a
difference.
I don't know the cost of the high efficiency air cleaner
you inquired about, but I would try to avoid it. HEPA
systems require more energy because they impede the
airflow. And all the "stuff" that gets trapped in the
filter is still alive and reproducing. If you go for
a month or two without changing your filter you will be
running a resort for mold and bacteria (those
bad things reproduce and some of the "babies" go right
into your home). Even though it is a pain, it is
important to change or clean any filter system as
often as possible (for
microbiological reasons, which your husband will
appreciate).
My A/C systems stay amazingly clean (coil
and compressor)
because of DuctwoRx, and the oxidizers that spread
through the house include molecular sized hydrogen
peroxide and other peroxides. This is our #1 commercial
product. In selling this to large warehouse and
industrial customers they do before and after testing.
The mold tests often come out at zero in the "after"
tests and the customer sometimes demands a second test
because he feels the test must have been bogus (because
the "before" tests were so high).
Both technologies -- DuctwoRx and Fresh Air -- can and
should be installed in the same office or home because
they have different benefits as well as overlapping
benefits.
Michelle is getting married next month and will be
moving to Texas (with
a plan to return to Santa Barbara later).
In humid Houston she will learn a lot about DuctwoRx and
it will become one of her front line items.
For under $140, you can buy a controlling device through
our Commercial Division that will run your fan on a low
level (low
speed and low power)
when the heating/cooling system is off. That option
keeps the DuctwoRx oxidizers circulating year around.
