How a HEPA Works

H.E.P.A.
is an acronym for High Efficiency Particulate Air.

A clean indoor atmosphere can only be attained
by controlling the airborne particulate.

Pollutants can trigger many health concerns;
Watery Eyes - Coughing/Colds - Sore Throat
Asthmatic Attacks - Allergic Reactions - TB
Dizziness - Lethargy - Rashes - Chicken Pox
Lung Diseases - Breathing Problems - Etc.

WITH PREMIERONE H.E.P.A. 500,
YOU MAKE THE AIR AS CLEAN AS IT CAN BE.

WHY A HEPA FILTER?

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) filters are used in hospitals because they are considered the best filters on the market today. Originally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission during World War II to remove radioactive dust which was invisible, but health hazardous, from manufacturing plant exhausts. A filter must collect 99.97% of a specific particulate that measures 0.30 microns, in a test established by the Institute of Environmental Sciences in order to receive the HEPA filter designation. However, the HEPA filter can capture 100% of all particulate sizes ranging from >100 microns down to 0.01 microns.

The HEPA media is made of very thin glass fibers. They are made into paper much the same way as cellulose or wood fibers are used to make paper. In texture it is very much like blotting paper and air cannot pass easily through this dense mass. A large area of paper must be used to permit the filtration of a large volume of air. To get the large area it is pleated: hence the term: extended surface.

Don't be fooled by "HEPA Type" Filters.

They may look like HEPA filters and be made of the same materials in the same way, but the number and density of the fibers is reduced so that a larger number of particles get through. This type of "HEPA" is available in many different efficiency levels with the best being only about 95% effective in capturing 0.30 micron size particles. This is well below the minimum capture efficiency required of a true HEPA.

Universal use of HEPA filtration has been hindered because the high pressure needed to force air thru a HEPA filter is unavailable from your forced air furnace fan. The power requirement is overcome by the separate motor in a PREMIERONE HEPA 500 unit where it is positioned parallel to, instead of across, the airstream. Polluted air is directed through the filter on a multiple pass basis making clean air available throughout the building. Combined with a pre-filter to capture larger particles, the PremierOne System is designed to maintain its performance rating for up to two years before replacing the HEPA filter. Clean the pre-filter monthly and change it and the carbon filter twice yearly.

REMOVE THE CAUSES
OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION

While developing our air cleaner to work with any home heating/cooling system, our engineers perfected a design that permits the use of a filter that meets the HEPA standard, to capture the visible (above 40 microns), down the invisible, (40 through 0.01microns) particulate found in indoor air.

PPREMIERONE H.E.P.A.500 is installed on the return-side air duct. Because there is zero pressure drop, it will not interfere with the ability of the heating/cooling system blower to deliver clean, safe, healthy air to the building.

The PREMIERONE H.E.P.A.500 unit was tested in a typical home. In a 12 hour period, it captured 95% of the >0.3 micron particles and 99.9% of the >0.5 micron particles.
