High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) are used in hospitals and labs because they are considered the best filters on the market today. HEPA filters were originally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission during WW2 to remove radioactive dust, which was invisible and hazardous to health.
- HEPA filters must collect 99.7% of particles at .3 micron in size (Established by the Institute of Environmental Sciences) in order to receive the HEPA filter designation.
The bypass HEPA overcomes airflow issues with a quiet and powerful 300 cfm internal fan.
by accurately moving the air through a HEPA filter with this fan , we take a large portion of the air out of the return and run it through the hospital-grade HEPA filter and then return the purified air back into the system air flow.
- No added resistance to your system airflow.
- The best additional filtration for the removal of particles that cause allergy and asthma symptoms.
- Pre-filters replaced every 6 months.
- HEPA filters last 2 years.
- Optional carbon cell for the ultimate protection from VOC’s, odors, and other indoor chemical off-gassing.
