Certain
technologies are much better than others at removing different
pollutants. With the Surround Multi-Tech Intelli-Pro, you get the
best of the most advanced air purification technologies on the
market, all rolled into one air purifier. The six leading air-cleaning
technologies in the Surround Multi-Tech Intelli-Pro 3, which covers
up to 600 sq. ft., include:
- Electrostatically-charged dust collection grid traps particles & pollutants like a magnet. Simply wipe clean when dirty.
- Long-lasting, washable high-efficiency HEPA filter - most effective way to capture dust and allergens.
- Activated carbon filter traps chemicals, gases and odors.
- Germicidal UV lamp destroys micro-organisms.
- Photocatalytic oxidation (TiO2) filter which effectively reduces chemicals, bacteria and odors.
- Air-cleaning negative ions are circulated throughout the room. Completely safe (virtually no ozone), and scientifically proven to be effective and to enhance filter efficiency.
Surround Air Multi-Tech Intelli-Pro 3 Air Ionizer
The Intelli-Pro is APPROVED for Shipment to California.
The
Multiple Air Inlet Design enables maximum air flow
through the unit. The powerful, yet quiet fan accelerates the purified
air throughout the room.
Economical. The
Intelli-Pro is energy efficient, and uses sensor technology to reduce
electricity usage. Offers low-cost replacement filter and UV lamp.
Quiet. Features "Quiet" setting
to maintain peace and tranquility in room. Still fairly quiet even
on "High" setting though.
Outperforms
Consumer Reports' Top-Rated Air Purifier!
Nearly
100% effective in clinical tests, and five times more effective in
toxin removal test CR's top-rated model.

1.
Washable Pre Filter. The air first enters pre filter, capturing
the largest particles, which enhances the durability and performance
of the other filters.
2.
Washable Dust Collector Plates. The electrostatically-charged
dust collector grid traps particles and pollutants like a magnet.
This is similar to Friedrich C-90A, which is Consumer Reports' top-rated
air purifier. Unlike the C-90A, the Multi-Tech Intelli-Pro has multiple
other leading technologies.
3.
Activated Carbon Filter. The best type of air filter for
trapping chemicals, gases, odors and cigarette smoke. According to
Penn State Dept. of Aerobiological researchers, carbon filters serve
to remove odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals
that other filters cannot.
4.
High-Efficiency HEPA Filter. The most effective type of
air filter at capturing dust, allergens and other solid particles
(including bacteria). HEPA filters are recommended by the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security.
5.
Photocatalytic oxidation (TiO2) filter which effectively
reduces chemicals, bacteria and odors. Photocatalytic oxidation is
achieved when you combine UV rays with a TiO2-coated filter. TiO2
refers to Titanium Oxide. This process creates hydroxyl radicals
and super-oxide ions, which are highly reactive electrons.
These highly reactive electrons aggressively combine with other elements
in the air, such as bacteria and VOCs. VOC is an acronym for Volatile Organic
Compounds, which include harmful pollutants such as formaldehyde, ammonia
and many other common contaminates released by building materials and household
cleaners generally found in the home.
Once bound together, the chemical reaction takes place between the super-charged
ion and the pollutant, effectively "oxidizing" (or burning) the
pollutant. This breaks the pollutant down into harmless carbon dioxide
and water molecules, making the air more purified.
6.
Germicidal UV Lamp. The most effective way to destroy micro-organisms,
such as germs, viruses, fungi (such as mold) and bacteria. Also destroys
micro-organisms including those that are trapped by the HEPA air
filter, preventing them from reproducing and recirculating through
the room. UV lamps are recommended by the U.S. Centers of Disease
Control.
7.
Safe and Effective Ionizer. Circulates trillions of negative
ions to neutralize floating pollutants throughout the room. A Journal
of Hygiene study found negative ions to improve efficiency of filter
units, and multiple studies (including those by the U.S. Dept. of
Agriculture) have found ionizers to be highly effective against dust,
bacteria, etc. Finally, the Multi-Tech Intelli-Pro's ionizer is proven
to be safe, producing virtually no ozone whatsoever.
The
UV light and negative ion indicators let you know that these functions
are working, and indicate when the UV lamp needs to be replaced.
About
Hydrogen Sulfide. H2S is a strong gas created
by stagnant sewage, and is one of the very worst, and most difficult-to-remove
pollutants known to man. An air purifier's ability to remove H2S
is a good indication of its ability to remove strong odors, odor-causing
toxins and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs).
Compares Favorably
to the Competition
Friedrich
C-90A (Consumer Reports Top-Rated Air Purifier). The Intelli-Pro
outperformed the Friedrich in clinical
tests, and currently costs $200 less. Both air purifiers
feature an electrically-charged dust collection grid and activated
carbon filter. The Intelli-Pro also offers an answer for micro-organisms
in its germicidal UV lamp. It also offers a HEPA filter, not found
in the Friedrich. HEPA filters are the most effective way to capture
dust and other allergens. Finally, the Intelli-Pro provides advanced,
sensor technology, none of which is available in the Friedrich.
Ionic Breeze. The Intelli-Pro drastically outperforms the Ionic
Breeze in clinical tests. Despite this, it is less expensive than the Ionic Breeze. The Intelli-Pro offers germicidal UV to destroy micro-organisms, a feature found in only the GP version of the Ionic Breeze, which costs $499. The Intelli-Pro also offers the best filters for trapping dust and allergens (HEPA), and for trapping chemicals, smoke, etc. (carbon). On top of all this, the Intelli-Pro has advanced sensor technology not found in the Ionic Breeze.
The Intelli-Pro convincingly outperforms the Oreck in clinical
tests, yet is still less expensive. It offers a washable
electronic filter like the Oreck, but also offers a HEPA filter, unlike
the Oreck. HEPA filters are the most effective way to capture dust
and allergens. The Intelli-Pro also has an answer for micro-organisms
unlike the Oreck, in its germicidal UV lamp. Finally, the Intelli-Pro
features advanced sensor technology not found in the Oreck.
U.S.
Government Recommendations
The
U.S. Government recommends technologies used in the Intelli-Pro air
purifier.
U.S.
Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends air purifier with both
HEPA Filter and UV Light. The CDC also recommends UV lights in homeless
shelters to prevent the spread of disease, particularly TB (tuberculosis).
Dept.
of Homeland Security recommends HEPA air filters, along with a pre-filter
to preserve the life of the HEPA filter.
The
U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found negative ions (ionizers) to be highly
effective against dust and bacteria in recent studies.

Purification for One Room or an Entire House
Most
portable air purifiers are primarily effective only for the room in
which they are placed, and the most effective way to purify the air
throughout a home is to place individual air purifiers in each room.
However, the expense of most portable room air purifiers makes it cost-prohibitive
to place one in each room.
