AIR CLEANING SYSTEM
Improve your indoor air quality with your new germguardian® Air Cleaning
System. Multiple levels of cleaning include a combination filter that captures
allergens, and Charcoal filter to remove odors.
UV-C light technology enhances germ-killing.
Pre-Filter – Captures initial dust and allergen particles.
Activated Carbon Filter – Charcoal/Activated Carbon contributes to the control
and prevention of the growth of bacteria, germs and mold.
UV-C Light – UV-C light technology works with Titanium Dioxide (TiO ) 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.
*Pre-Filter and Carbon Filter are combined into one layer that attaches to the Filter.

What is CADR?
CADR stands for “Clean Air Delivery Rate,” which indicates the volume of
filtered air delivered by an air purifier. CADR ratings show the effectiveness
of how efficient the air purifier is at capturing fine particles from things
like tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room.
Clean Air Delivery Rate
From air cleaner to air cleaner, compare the CADR numbers. First look at
suggested room size. Then refer to the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers.
The higher the number, the faster the unit filters the air.
Refer to website for individual model CADR numbers.
