Q: What does the CREON 2000 do that other air cleaners, like the HEPA and electrostatic systems, can't do?
A. The CREON 2000 uses patented ultraviolet air irradiation technology to attack dangerous bacteria, mold spores, viruses and other microorganisms in the indoor air. No other system comes close to improving indoor air quality in eliminating negative effect posed by airborne microscopic particles.
Q: Some air cleaners give off dangerous ozone. Does the CREON 2000 give off ozone?
No. The CREON 2000 does not give off ozone or any other harmful byproduct.
Q: Is the ultra violet light in the CREON 2000 dangerous?
The CREON 2000 effectively uses ultra violet light. Because the patented CREON 2000 process makes the rays of the ultra violet light part of the system, which is installed in the air ducts and is shielded by the duct walls, the light is directed only at the harmful microbes circulating through the system and, when the system is properly installed, will not be dangerous to anyone in its proximity.
Q: Other ultraviolet air cleaners on the market lose their effectiveness after a few weeks of use. How does the CREON 2000 maintain effectiveness consistently?
With other ultraviolet air cleaners, the dust is attracted to the bulb and attaches to it, much as metal is drawn to a magnet. The surface of the bulb gradually accumulates dust and blocks out the UV light, which diminishes its effectiveness. To keep those systems working, their bulbs must be cleaned often.
In contrast, the CREON 2000 has a unique built-in air dynamics light protection system that prevents the settling of dust particles on the bulb. As a result, the bulb stays dust free and fully effective during the life of the bulb, which is a little longer than one year. After one year, the bulb and a small filter should be replaced for another year of consistent and efficient air cleaning.
Another important advantage of the CREON 2000 over other ultra violet air purifiers is that even if their lamp bulbs were to be cleaned every day to insure that the ultra violet light was working optimally and consistently, the CREON 2000 is still three times more efficient in its air cleaning power and use of energy.
Q: Could CREON 2000 be installed in a house with a heat pump?
Yes. CREON 2000 could be installed in any mechanical ventilation system (central air) with a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump.
