Pre-Filter. The Pre-filter traps the largest particles, increasing the life of the Carbon and HEPA filters.
Activated Carbon Air Filter. Activated carbon is the most absorbent type of filter material available, removing a wode variety of chemicals, smoke and odors.
HEPA Air Filter. High Efficiency Particle Arresting filters are the single most efficient filtration device available on the market - 99.97% of particles that pass through (.3 microns or larger) become trapped so they don't recirculate into the room. (Mycotic nail dust is typically 1-2 microns.) The powerful fan of the XJ-3000C channels a wide variety of particles through its HEPA air filter, including dust, pollens, mold spores, and other allergens. The New-Aire XJ-3000C's filter is economical ($32 for HEPA and activated carbon filters combined), and only needs to be replaced every one to two years. Filter replacement is extremely clean and easy. (How to Replace XJ-3000C Air Filter)
In most air filters captured bacteria and other micro-organisms reproduce. This does not happen in the XJ-3000C because the air ionizer and programmable ozone generator are located near the filter cartridge. Air ionizers and ozonators destroy bacteria, viruses, and other microbiological pollutants.
Germicidal UV Light. UV (ultraviolet) lamps destroy a large variety of microbiological contaminates, including viruses, germs, bacteria, and fungi (such as mold). They have been used in the medical field, including hospitals, for decades to sanitize rooms and equipment. UV light has been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control for this purpose. In addition to destroying microbes that pass through the air tunnel of the XJ-3000C, the UV lamp also sterilizes the filter, preventing microorganisms trapped in the filter from reproducing or breeding.
Programmable Ozone Production. With the XJ-3000C air purifier, you control the amount of ozone that is produced. The ozone can even be completely disabled, or produced in either minute amounts for filter sanitization, moderate amounts for a faint, fresh scent in the air, or higher amounts to eliminate strong odors. Unlike all other air purifiers that produce ozone, all the other air purifying functions of the XJ-3000C air purifier (including the air ionizer) can still run at 100% capacity even when the ozone function is completely disabled. Ozone is effective at eliminating odors, and destroying certain chemicals and micro-organisms.
Air Ionizer. The New-Aire XJ-3000C air purifier generates negative ions using stainless steel needlepoints: this produces a high concentration of negative ions for the life of the unit. Negative ions effectively remove ultra-small particles from the air, such as allergens, fine dust particles, chemical fumes, and others. Negative ions can even destroy viruses. The XJ-3000C, distributes ions throughout the room via the fan, so that it even cleans the air that does not pass through the unit.
Importance of multiple technologies. These five technologies function as a complete air purification system. No single air purification technology is effective at removing every type of common indoor air pollutant. With the assortment of technologies used in the XJ-3000C, there is always at least one purifying method effective at removing every important airborne pollutant.
