Clean Air Optima CA-506 HEPA UV Ionizer Air Purifier

Introduction

Clean Air Optima wishes to thank you for purchasing this unique air purifier with high quality technology. We live in times where air pollution, viruses and particulate matter seem to be an unavoidable threat for our wellbeing. Clean Air Optima offers an air purifier that represents an affordable and efficient answer to this threat.
In your new air purifier, several technologies have been combined in order to filter small dust particulates and biological particulates out of the air. The device eliminates unicellular organisms, as well as viruses and bacteria floating in the air by means of UV-C light and it purifies the air from unwanted and harmful particulates.

Before use

Features
The Clean Air Optima CA-506 includes 6 filter technologies and is 100% ozone free.

Activated carbon pre-filter
The pre-filter catches big particulates like: lint, hair and dander from pets.
Activated carbon neutralizes smoke, chemicals, gases and smells, it prevents the development of bacteria, viruses and mold. The activated carbon pre-filter extends the durability of the TRUE HEPA filter.

Filter combination
Original True HEPA + Pet Pure Treatment: True HEPA catches 99.97% of all floating particulates and allergens like dander of pets, dust mites, pollen, bacteria and viruses >0,3 micron. The Pet Pure Treatment (PPT) is a filter coating to which an antimicrobial substance was added to prevent the development of mold, mildew, bacteria causing smells on the surface of the filter.

UV-C light combined with titanium dioxide
UV-C light technology works in combination with titanium dioxide (TiO²) to eliminate bacteria and viruses floating in the air. TiO² is activated by the UV-C light to neutralize smell molecules caused by smoking, cooking and pets.

Ionizer
This powerful ionizer produces more than 6.000.000 negative ions/cm³ (known as “vitamins of the air”) to purify and refresh indoor air. It purifies air from dust, cigarette smoke, pollen, mold and harmful gases.
