How Does APCO UV Air Purification Work?
The UV Air Purification system is installed by Duct Vac NW Professionals in the ductwork of the central air system. It filters and cleans the air with a unique combination of UV-C light and activated carbon, which provides unmatched germ and odor reduction without producing any harmful ozone. APCO air purification is especially effective in reducing odor-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which include toxic chemical vapors like formaldehyde.
APCO UV Air Purification Benifits
Airborne contaminants are commonly divided into three categories.
- Particulates
- Odors/VOCs
- Molds/Germs
Conventional filtration systems are effective against particulates, like dust, but have no effects on odors/VOCs or molds or germs. The APCO UV Air Purification system is proven to safely reduce both VOCs and biological contaminants, both inside the air system and throughout the entire home.
Activated carbon and germ-killing UV-C light work together to remove odors, chemicals, and biological contaminants for the lifetime of your air system, keeping it cleaner and extending the life of the system.
