Best Practices

Run Skye 24/7
For the highest effectiveness, Skye should run all the time.
Give Skye Space
Skye will work in any room, but for it to purify the most air, it needs space around it, away from walls and furniture to help maximize its airflow. Skye is designed for large rooms such as living rooms, large bedrooms, and open floor plans.
Treat Skye Well
Skye requires a new filter about every six months and a new UVC lamp every year to perform at its best. Sign up to automatically receive your replacement filters and lamps at airhealth.com/skye

Warranty Information

Air+Health (“Company”) warrants that your Skye unit (“the product”) will perform to the specifications stated and shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for the limited period indicated on the Air+Health website, from the date of shipment, subject to the provisions outlined on the Air+Health website. www.airhealth.com/warranty
Your serial number can be found on your Skye’s rating plate which is on the base of the appliance. Visit www.airhealth.com/support for online help, support videos, general tips, and useful information about Skye and Air+Health’s other air treatment solutions.

Disclaimer
Your Skye’s sensor is intended be comparable to other commercially available consumer air sensors. At sufficient concentrations, it is sensitive to all physical particles, like dust, smoke, components of vehicle exhaust, soot, and many other airborne substances, as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are gases that are emitted from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Skye’s air quality sensors monitor multiple VOCs and report a Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) which is used to calculate the IAQ.
The levels of particles and VOCs it reports may not precisely conform to other methods of measuring particulate matter pollution. The measurements are intended to be a close estimation of the indoor air quality in the room in which Skye is currently operating. For people who are: immunocompromised; have compromised heart or lung function; have a history of asthma, heart disease, or any other heart and lung conditions; children; and the elderly should always follow any action plans for asthma attacks, heart problems, or any other health issue regardless of the air quality levels reported by the Skye sensor. The sensor and air purifier are not medical devices and the information they provide is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Consult your doctor if you are unsure what levels of particulate matter are safe for you and visit www.airnow.gov for more information on particulate matter and all aspects of air pollution.

As with any product, your device uses new plastics and materials in its manufacture. We do all we can to minimize off-gassing from these materials, including shipping each device with carbon filters to absorb smells. Despite this, there may be a noticeable smell during the first 24-48 hours of use, which is safe and expected. If these odors are produced by VOCs, the particulate matter sensor in your Skye may detect their presence and automatically adjust the fan speed to remove them. Nevertheless, this particular type of off-gassing is harmless and temporary. After the initial settling period, scents should significantly subside. At that point, your filter has reached full effectiveness.
