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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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)
back to questions
7. With the ideal number of units, how long
to purify the air in a (2500 sq ft) house?
See #3 above.
back to questions
8. What is the ideal location within a room?
See #2 above.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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 gasses 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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
17. Will Natural Air™ get rid of the gasses
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
22. Is Natural Air™ effective against
asbestos?
The device will not destroy asbestos.
back to questions
23. Is Natural Air™ effective against
radon?
No.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
25. Can Natural Air™ help my asthma?
Natural Air™ is not a medical device. Regenerating the air to Mother Nature's
standards may, however, reduce asthma symptoms in some cases.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
31. Does Natural Air™ meet FDA standards as
a "medical device?"
Natural Air™ is NOT a medical device and makes no health claims.
back to questions
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.
back to questions
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.
