INTRODUCING EPURAIR

Epurair is the air quality division of Noveko International, a global provider of innovative environmental and health solutions. Headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, with divisions and manufacturing plants around the world, the company produces everything from real-time ultrasound scanners for medical use, to surgical masks and respirators, to filtration cartridges, filter membranes and air filtration media for a broad spectrum of applications. They also manufacture one of the world’s top selling brands of hand sanitizers, Microban®.

Epurair filtration systems are used in hospitals, laboratories, nuclear plants, high-tech facilities, sports arenas, shopping malls and office buildings throughout the world. They provide cleaner air for the Montreal Canadians at the Bell Centre, clean air solutions for the aircraft and rail divisions of Bombardier Inc. and improved air quality for Complex Desjardins, a four million sq. ft. retail and office complex in downtown Montreal. With the introduction of the Epurair MA-1 Series of air purifiers, cleanroom-grade air quality is now available for your home through either a portable unit (MA-1P) or central system (MA-1C). Manufactured in Canada at Epurair’s fully-automated plant, all MA-1 air purifiers are built completely by astro robots without any human intervention.

EPURAIR MA-1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Among the most impressive particle filtration systems on the market, Epurair MA-1 air purifiers offer outstanding removal of allergens such as pollen, dust, mould spores, pet dander, dust mite by-products and other airborne particulate contaminants. By means of an innovative titanium pigment sealing joint, a hermetic seal is created between the filter and the ventilation casing, ensuring that absolutely no air bypasses the filters. The result is that 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns and larger entering the system are captured and prevented from re-entering your indoor air environment. Even though Epurair MA-1 air purifiers are primarily sold for particle filtration, they are also capable of removing other harmful airborne pollutants, such as chemicals, gases and odours, via a carbon pre-filter and a VOC carbon trap cloth filter.

Both the Epurair MA-1P portable unit and the Epurair MA-1C whole-house system feature a powerful, three-stage filtration system. As air is drawn into the air purifier by its energy-efficient, ultra-quiet motor, it first passes through a carbon pre-filter that is designed to capture large particles such as dust, pollen and fibres. This pre-filter can be vacuumed, washed or replaced every 3-6 months and prolongs the life of the more expensive HEPA filter.

As the air continues through the system, the next cleaning stage it encounters is the large certified medical-grade HEPA filter that removes the tiny, lung-penetrating particles that are considered to be the most dangerous to long-term health. This filter’s lifespan is typically 5 years (or 3 years in homes with high concentrations of contaminants such as cigarette smoke).

During the final cleaning stage, air passes through the washable VOC carbon trap cloth filter that removes volatile organic compounds present in the air in the form of gases, fumes and odours. This carbon filter should be washed or replaced annually to maintain its effectiveness. Multiple carbon filters (up to four), can be installed in Epurair MA-1 air purifiers to enhance their odour, gas and chemical adsorption. All filters are easily accessed by simply lifting the top cover of the unit (i.e., no tools required).

Epurair MA-1 air purifiers also have a special diffuser integrated into their filter systems that allow the units to be used as aromatherapy devices as well as air purifiers for those who wish to do so. In addition, this diffuser can be used with MicroGerme® treatment (available in the Annual Replacement Kit) to combat mould. MicroGerme® is an all-natural group of compounds that prevents the growth of mould in your ductwork and on surfaces in your home.

Epurair Contaminant Diagram

Epurair MA-1 air purifiers use a German-manufactured, thermally protected, class B insulated circulation motor that is both energy efficient and ultra-quiet. These units have an all-metal housing made of 18-gauge, cold-rolled steel that eliminates toxic off-gassing, and baked-on powder paint with a polyurethane diamond finish for durability. The Epurair MA-1P is also supplied with a set of casters that can be attached to the unit to facilitate easy maneuverability.

Because of its modular design, the Epurair MA-1P air purifier can be modified at any time to be installed directly into your HVAC system through the purchase of a conversion kit. The Epurair MA-1C can also be purchased directly for use as a central system (and later converted to a portable system via a conversion kit if desired). The Epurair MA-1C uses the existing ductwork throughout the house to assist in cleaning the air in homes of up to 2,000 sq. ft., and can easily be installed by any professional heating and cooling company. Installation costs typically range from $150 to $250, depending on your home’s existing HVAC system and the materials required. The Epurair MA-1C is one of the most economical whole-house systems that we sell, both in terms of purchase price and filter replacement costs.

Epurair MA-1 air purifiers have 3 adjustable fan speed settings that allow for total air flow control. On their lowest setting, these units produce only 32 dB of noise due to their special acoustic design, making them one of the quietest air purifiers on the market and an ideal choice for bedroom use or for those with sensitivities to sound. Because it provides coverage of large rooms, the Epurair MA-1P is perfectly suited for open concept living spaces, family rooms, basements, offices and apartments. This air purifier has a clean, modern look and comes in a neutral white colour to blend easily into almost any décor.

Manufactured for over 12 years, Epurair, is justifiably proud of its MA-1 air purifiers. Epurair HEPA systems are individually tested and certified using a laser particle counter before they leave the factory, guaranteeing the effectiveness of each and every unit. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your air purifier purchase, Epurair will be happy to take it back within 30 days for a full refund. All Epurair MA-1 air purifiers are backed by a full 5-year warranty on materials and craftsmanship.

** An Important Word on Air Flow Rates and Room Coverage for the Epurair MA-1P Air Purifier:

Many retailers and manufacturers overstate maximum room coverage figures by calculating them with air flow rates measured without filters installed (i.e., fan output) or with too low a number of air exchanges per hour to properly clean the room. Modern Alchemy Air Purifiers believes in stating the actual delivered air flow rates for the air purifiers we sell, as well as realistic room coverage figures calculated at effective air cleaning levels. Accordingly, we recommend that the Epurair MA-1P be used in rooms of up to 330 sq. ft. (for allergy/asthma sufferers) or 655 sq. ft. (for general purpose filtration).

Also note that air purifier performance should not be judged by air flow rates and room maximums alone. Many features that make an air purifier more effective at cleaning the air actually reduce the air flow rate. For example, higher grade HEPA filters, well-sealed filtration systems and large amounts of carbon all increase air resistance and reduce delivered air flow rates.
