AC5250PT Digital Air Cleaning System with PetPure Filter

Product Information

The Digital Air Cleaning System with PetPureTM Filter, Model No. AC5250PT is a device designed to purify the air and remove impurities such as dust, pollen, smoke, and odors from the air. The device uses a combination of a charcoal filter, a PetPureTM filter, and UV-C light to eliminate airborne germs and bacteria.

The device measures 7 inches in width, 10.25 inches in depth and 28 inches in height and weighs 10.55 lbs. It is designed to operate on 120V, 60Hz, consuming 60W with an input current of 0.5A. The device is equipped with a control panel that features settings display screen, filter reset, timer set button, UV-C on/off button, fan speed selection button, power on/off button, and power indicator light.

The Pet PureTM treatment inhibits the growth of mold, mildew and odor-causing bacteria on the surface of the filter. The UV-C light technology works with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to enhance the elimination of airborne germs. TiO2 is activated by the UV-C light to decompose remaining odor molecules caused by smoking, cooking, and pets.
