MERV 13 vs Aireshield, Payback in 3 years
MERV 16 Vs Aireshield, Payback in 1 years
  • Based on average filter replacement costs
    every four months
  • Does not inactivate or kill pathogens, only traps them
  • Exposes service technicians to harmful pathogens
  • Antiquated particulate material use
  • High maintenance
  • Traditional filters incur higher electrical operating costs due to higher static pressure
  • Recirculating air pushed through an increasingly dirty filter
  • Contributes to excess landfill waste
  • There are no replacement costs for the life of the filter
  • Killing or rendering pathogens ineffective
  • No trapped pathogens to expose service technicians
  • Breakthrough air disinfection technology
  • Easy maintenance: No chemicals/consumables
  • Low power consumption < 12 watts
  • Priceless health benefits – breathe safe!
  • Earth friendly
