First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the
prefilter(s). As the dirty air passes through the
intense high voltage electric field surrounding
the ionizer wires, all particles, even the smallest
are given an electric charge. The air passes into
the collector where the alternate parallel plates
have positive and negative charges, creating a
uniform electrostatic field. Since opposites
attract, the charged particles stick to the
collector plates, having an opposite electric
charge. Consequently, the air leaving the air
cleaner contains very few particles.

air cleaner works

Each time the air circulates through the heating/
air conditioning system and air cleaner, more
particles are removed. These particles are
generated by normal household activities, and
also enter the house from the outside. That’s
why we recommend that you use the air cleaner
as much as possible.
