NEGATIVE ION

A negative ion generator produces a vast quantity of negative ions, letting you enjoy really fresh air.

2 FILTER CASE

Pre-Electrostatic, Medium, HEPA, AG Allergy, AC Deodorant filters are installed.

3 ANTISTATIC FILTER (Pre-Electrostatic Filter)

Removes large particles of dust, mold, hairs, dandruff, pet hairs, etc.

4 ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER (Medium Filter)

Removes the remaining, small particles of dust, bacteria bigger than 1 m (micron), pollen etc. Simultaneously it protects the HEPA filter, which is the next filter.

HEPA FILTER (HEPA Filter)

The class of our HEPA filter is H13, which removes 99.97% of airborne particulates like: dust, pollen, mold spores, and smoke particles, dust mite feces, and even off gas generated by fireplaces and automobiles.

6 ANTIALLERGIC FILTER (AG Allergy Filter)

A mixture of silver and apatite (a mineral) and an antibacterial agent that is especially effective in combating the bacteria Legionella (Legionella bacillus), which is particularly dangerous for babies. Inside the filter is an extract obtained from the leaves of ginkgo* which is used to eliminate the causes of allergies, flu viruses and bacteria.

(*Ginkgo biloba, the oldest known plant, has very great curative powers and is used for treating asthma, diseases of the lungs (bronchi) and also for improving circulation).

7 ACTIVATED-CARBON FILTER (AC Deodorant Filter)

Eliminates the smell of food, toxic gases and all odours on account of its tremendous absorbent capacity.

Only completely clean air can pass through the barrier which is impenetrable for the pollutants. Finally, the purified air enters the module containing the incorporated ion generator. There it will be further enriched with negative ions that will continue to fight all air pollutants and positive ions emitted by household appliances and other sources.

5.3 Before First Use

Therapy Air Ion is intended for home use only. It is strongly recommended to close the room where the air should be purified.

Place the device safely in the room where you want to purify air. Follow all safety precautions!
