EcoQuest Fresh Air Part 2
If you are looking at an air purifier and considering any one of a number of brands and models available today, you should check out the EcoQuest Fresh Air. It is made by EcoQuest International that used to be based in Greeneville, TN but has since moved to Dallas Texas. These are great machines and are used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.
In the earlier post we looked at some of the technology in the Fresh Air purifier and in this post we will expand on that a little. This air purifier has 3 different ways or settings it can be used on for different or intense air purification needs:
Normal Mode Setting - This setting uses the ActivPure RCI technology I talked about yesterday that includes natural oxidizers at a low level for all of your normal air purification needs. It is basically a set it and forget it mode.
High Mode Setting - This level of air purification adds ozone or what EcoQuest calls activated oxygen for a more intense purification process when you have strong odors and need to get rid or things like smoke or want to help sanitize surface contaminants on things like your counter tops, stove, cutting boards and the like.
Away Mode Setting - As the name of this mode suggests, it is to be used when you are away from your home or the building you are using the purifier in. This setting give the strongest possible output of ozone the unit can produce and is for unoccupied buildings only.
In this mode you can set the machine to run for from 2 hours to 8 hours on this highest output and the front display will show you how much time is left on the away setting. Of course the best thing to do is to set the machine to run for the time you want and then just plan to be away from your house for about 30 minutes longer than the timer so your home will have time to air out before you return.
As you can see, the EcoQuest Fresh air has a lot of features other units that are more expensive don't have. If you are in the market for an air purifier the Fresh Air is definitely something to consider.

EcoQuest Fresh Air
The EcoQuest Fresh Air purifier is one of the most popular air purification systems in existence today. Why is that? It is because these systems can clean and purify the air in a large home and the air doesn't even have to pass through the system.
The way that works is through a process called Radiant Catalytic Ionization or RCI for Short. RCI uses ionization and ozone to clean the air and remove odors plus neutralize some harmful chemicals in the air. Ionization charges particles and causes them to clump together consequently making them heavier that the surrounding air. They then continue to gain mass as they clump and eventually fall out of the air due to their weight.
When ozone is used in the EcoQuest Fresh air (it can be turned off) it helps eliminate odors such as smoke smells, wet dog smell, old tennis shoes, musty basement smells and the like by neutralizing them through an oxidation process at the molecular level. Yeah, that's a little mumbo jumbo technical stuff there, but it's just there to let you know that the EcoQuest air purification process does work.
Come back for the next instalment of info and tidbits about the Fresh air where we will go into more specifics about how the machine works and what you can use it for besides just purifying the air in your home.
