Left BackgroundText Box: Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is effective range of Natural Air? Up to 3,000 sq. ft. depending on air flow (an operating paddle fan, for example, will assist in moving ions and ozone throughout area). Natural Air's air regeneration process and fan can be adjusted from low to high, depending on the size of the room and the strength of offending pollution 2. Where is the best location for Natural Air within the home? In a central location, six feet (or more) off the floor; ideally close to a cold-air return of the home's HVAC (heating, ventilation, air cooling) system, or close to the source of odors. 3. How long does it take to renew the air within the maximum effective range? Based on environment and movement of air, within minutes to a few hours. 4. Should I run my Natural Air unit all the time or just when we're in the room? For best results, cleanest and freshest air, run the machine constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The machine is designed for constant use and only requires easy periodic cleaning for maintenance. 5. Should I run Natural Air when the doors and windows are open? Yes, under normal temperate conditions. Natural Air will remove air pollutants such as garden and lawn sprays and pollen that may be carried indoors by the breeze. The device is less effective, however, in high-humidity, non-air conditioned environments. 6. In a 2500 sq. ft. house, how many units are recommended? Placement of units is determined by individual needs and conditions. Are there pets in the home, high pollen count in the area? How many heating/ cooling zones? Refer to #2 above: one unit may be sufficient if placed in the ideal location close to the cold-air return of the HVAC system. (HVAC: heating, ventilation and air cooling) 7. With the ideal number of units, how long to purify the air in a (2500 sq ft) house? See #3 above. 8. What is the ideal location within a room? See #2 above. 9. Are there environments where the units would not be effective? The units do not operate as effectively in a high-temperature/high humidity environment such as non air conditioned spaces such as attics or garages. 10. How does Natural Air clean the air? The short answer: by replicating Mother Nature's natural air cleaning and freshening qualities. Part of this process generates negative ions, which attract air pollutants such as dust mite particles, skin flakes, dust and smoke. Another part of the Natural Air process releases "activated" oxygen which reduces odors from germs, mold and mildew. 11. What kind of filter does Natural Air use? Natural Air is an air regenerator, not a filter. There's no filter to change or replace. Natural Air does have screens which are designed to simply stop large particulates (hair, dust-bunnies, etc) from clogging the works. These filters need to be cleaned only when they become visibly "clogged." Simply brush off the accumulated matter. 12. Does Natural Air have a fan? Yes. The fan's purpose is not to bring pollutants and odors into the machine, but to send Mother Nature's air regenerating agents out to reduce pollutants and odors at their source. 13. Because Natural Air doesn't have a filter to collect pollutants, where does the stuff go that it cleans out of the air? Many odors and gases are simply oxidized and turned into molecules of carbon dioxide and water vapor. They virtually disappear! Larger air-borne dust, dander and pollen, settle to the floor, where they can be vacuumed or mopped up in normal house cleaning. 14. What are ions? Ions are electrically charged particles generated by natural radiation from the earth and sun, water spray and lightning. They are totally harmless to humans. Normal ion levels are from 1,000 to 4,000 ions per cubic centimeter in fresh country air, with a ratio of 5 positive to 4 negative. The typical office, however, may contain as few as 20 negative and 35 positive ions per cubic centimeter. Negative ion counts rise much higher in the mountains, some desert areas, near waterfalls and ocean beaches. Ions are short-lived and need constant replenishing. The balance of negative to positive ions has an effect of our sense of well-being. For example, doctors in Israel report that hot, dry "Witches Winds" high in positive ions stimulate complaints of discomfort. On the other hand is the legendary sense of invigoration and good spirits people enjoy in a balanced, negative ion-charged atmosphere found in the mountains and by the sea-shore. 15. Is it safe to use the machine in a baby's room? Natural Air regenerates clean, "fresh air" as found in the purest natural environments. Do not exceed a purifier setting higher than the square feet or square meters of the room. 16. Will Natural Air get rid of the smell of cigarette and cigar smoke? Yes. Our filterless air regeneration technology not only reduces the visible smoke but the odor as well. 17. Will Natural Air get rid of the gases from new carpet? Yes. Cooking odors? Yes. That musty smell of mildew? Yes. The key quick removal of offensive odors is good air flow – movement of the air by a paddle fan or similar – over the source of the odors. 18. Will Natural Air get rid of the smell of fresh paint? Yes. Make sure you have good ventilation while you paint, then place Natural Air about six feet off the floor near the cold air return of your air conditioning system and the new paint odor will be removed in far less time. 19. Will Natural Air get rid of pet dander? Yes. Natural Air regenerates the cleansing agents of Mother Nature to dramatically reduce the amount of particles such as pet dander suspended in the air. Actually, most people are not bothered by cat dander itself, but by the enzymes contained in the aerosolized saliva produced by cats grooming themselves. The enzyme attaches itself to the dander which, when inhaled, irritates the lungs. Natural Air's process removes dander from the "breathing zone." Note: The "sparklies" you see in a beam of sunlight streaming through the window are not just dust and pet dander, but also particles of skin that all humans constantly shed. Just as it does with pet dander and smoke, Natural Air's process dramatically reduces the amount of this suspended pollution. 20. Will Natural Air get rid of sawdust in a work shop? The majority of sawdust is made up of large particles which are best removed by a vacuum or air filter. Natural Air is not a filter. It's regeneration process will, however, get rid of the odors produced by woodworking, painting, etc. 21. Will Natural Air get rid of the mold on bathroom tile? Yes. The regeneration process attacks the mold and turns it into a white powder that can simply be wiped away. Place the Natural Air device in the problem room, turn it on high and close the door. 22. Is Natural Air effective against asbestos? The device will not destroy asbestos. 23. Is Natural Air effective against radon? No. 24. Is Natural Air effective against airborne pollen and other allergens? In an air conditioned environment, Natural Air's regeneration process will reduce the amounts of airborne allergens brought in from the outside. As effective as the regeneration process is, however, it cannot keep up with the challenge of an area totally open to outside air during "pollen season. Close the windows and Natural Air™ will be able to catch up with the pollen load. 25. Can Natural Air help my asthma? Natural Air is not a medical device. Regenerating the air to Mother Nature's standards may, however, reduces asthma symptoms in some cases. 26. Will a Natural Air unit in a day care center reduce the incidence of colds and flu among the children and staff? Airborne materials, such as those emitted by a sneeze, ride on particulates in the air. Natural Air reduces the amount of particulates in the air. Natural Air's regeneration process helps reduce airborne contaminants. 27. Is Natural Air safe to use in an elderly person's room? Yes. Natural Air simply regenerates the natural elements of fresh, outside air. Natural Air's ability to cleanse the air of odors will also keep the room smelling fresher. 28. Will Natural Air remove and keep mold out of our basement? Mold grows best in damp and dark environments typical of many below-ground basement rooms. The key to eliminating mold is eliminate the moisture. This may require the application of some form of vapor or water barrier to the below-ground surfaces and/or the use of a de-humidifier. A Natural Air unit will help in mold control. 29. Should I move the Natural Air unit into my child's bedroom when he/she has a cold or flu? Couldn't hurt. For generations, physicians have recommended "taking the air" -- breathing fresh outdoor air and in the sun as a assist toward good health. Natural Air simply regenerates the cleansing elements of Mother Nature. 30. Since Natural Air doesn't use a filter that would show me what it has removed from the air, how do I know its working? First, smell the difference in the room where Natural Air is placed. Second, notice how quickly offensive odors and smoke (as from cigarettes or the fireplace) disappear. Third, check the next time the sun sends a beam of light through the window. You'll see fewer "floaties," especially the sparkly kind of sluffed off skin. Finally, notice how much better you and your family feel; spirits and energy levels a little higher. 31. Does Natural Air meet FDA standards as a "medical device?" Natural Air is NOT a medical device and makes no health claims. 32. I have asthma/allergies. Will Medicare pay for a Natural Air unit? Again, Natural Air is not a medical device. However, if your doctor writes a prescription for an "air cleaner" or similar description, Medicare may (and we stress the word "may") approve the expense. 33. How is Natural Air better than other air filters? Natural Air is not an air filter, it is an air regenerator and does not use filters in its freshening, cleansing process. Filters strain particulates out of the air. The effectiveness of a filter depends on its ability to stop particulates of certain sizes, the smaller the better. Pollen, for example, is from 10-100 microns in size, animal dander from .3 to 10 microns; lung damaging dust from .5-5 microns in size. Cigarette smoke, for example, is .01-1 microns in size and only the finest filters can remove it from passing air.* Filters trap particulates in their fibers or screens. As the filter becomes loaded with trapped particulates, more and more fan power is required to move the air, and less and less air moves through it. Filters must be replaced or cleaned to maintain efficiency. Natural Air regenerates the natural qualities of Mother Nature's best air. It does not filter it. It purifies by sending is natural air-freshening agents out into the room and home. * 1 micron = 1/25,400th of an inch, far less than the point of a straight pin.
