For premium chemical and odor protection, select one of our air purifiers with deep-bed activated carbon and new photocatalytic technology which uses ultra-violet light in conjunction with a special catalyst to eradicate hard-to-treat chemicals and strong odors.
Do I choose a DX, D or Vocarb? All models in the "D" class will provide protection in areas where heavy concentrations of chemicals or odors are present. The main difference between the two is the saturation point of the activated carbon filter. The DX offers the most carbon and the deepest filter bed allowing it to absorb more toxins than the D model.
5000 and 6000 DX: Carbon filter depth: 3.5" Carbon filter weight: 27 or 36 lbs. No HEPA
5000 & 6000 D: Carbon filter depth: 3" Carbon filter weight: 24 or 28 lbs. No HEPA
A vocarb-blend unit is designed for the user who is concerned about household or office volatile organic compounds (VOC's), gases and odors, and who may also require particle protection.
5000 Vocarb: Carbon filter depth: 2" Carbon filter weight: 18 lbs. Medical-grade HEPA
Why is dwell time important?
Dwell time is vital for cleaning airborne chemicals and odors. The
longer these toxins are forced to hang-around or "dwell" in the carbon
filter, the more likely they are to get adsorbed. That's why a small
carbon filter or carbon mesh will have little to no affect on odors
and chemicals - the toxins can't dwell in the filter long enough to
be trapped or the filter is quickly saturated.
