PUREAIR™ AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEM

HOMEOWNERS IAQ GUIDE FOR PUREAIR™ MODELS PCO-12C, PCO-20C

GENERAL

The PureAir™ air purification system helps to signif-

icantly reduce levels of airborne volatile organic

compounds, cooking odors, common household

odors, airborne dust particles and mold spores,

and pollen in residential spaces. The PureAir™ air

purification system includes a MERV 9 Pleated

Filter, UVA lamps, and a Metal Insert that is coated

with a titanium dioxide catalyst. As air enters the

system, a percentage of airborne particles and

bioaerosols, such as mold and bacteria, larger than

.3 microns are captured by the pleated filter. The

smaller airborne particles, odors, and chemicals

continue through the system. The UVA lamp acti-

vates the catalyst on the Metal Insert. The catalyst

combines with water vapor in the air to form

hydroxyl radicals that destroy a percentage of the

remaining odors and chemicals.

The PureAir™ air purification system is NOT

intended to be used for remediation of active

mold growth or high (industrial) levels of chemi-

cals in the air. For existing mold growth, the

mold must be remediated by a qualified service

provider PRIOR to installation of your PureAir™

air purification system.

NOTE: If there is a sudden source of contamination

in your home [caused by burned food, cleaning an

oven, painting or hobby work that releases chemi-

cals (model airplanes, soldering, furniture finishing,

etc.)], the PureAir™ air purification system WILL

NOT reduce the odor immediately. In cases of sud-

den source contamination, open windows and

doors to rapidly reduce the concentration of the

contaminant.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY(IAQ) METHODS

Optimal indoor air quality can be obtained in a

home by using source reduction, ventilation,

humidification, and purification methods.

SOURCE REDUCTION

Identify and remove or reduce the sources of poor

indoor air quality in the home. Specific pollutants

which may affect indoor air quality include:

212512-00 Rev. 1B 5/02

Dallas, Texas USA

Dirt & Dust: Prevent leakage of dirty air and dust

from unconditioned spaces (i.e. attics) into the

HVAC system by sealing the ducts with mastic or

aluminum tape along all joints. Use a vacuum

cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to permanently

remove small dirt particles rather than simply redis-

tributing them, as is the case with a conventional

vacuum cleaner.

Odors/Chemicals: Remove sources of odors and

chemical contamination from the home and use

products that minimize contaminate levels in the air.

The new PureAir™ air purification system removes

and destroys odors/chemicals.

Mold: Minimize mold by controlling moisture.

Prevent roof and water pipe leaks and it is recom-

mended that relative humidity be kept between

30%-50%. Contact a contractor if you have a water

leak. Ask your Lennox dealer about products that

reduce humidity levels in the home [variable speed

air handlers/furnaces/compressors, humidity con-

trols and dehumidifiers (85X74)].

Once the mold is removed by a qualified mold

remediation company, the Healthy Climate™

PureAir™ air purification system [models PCO-12C

(75X69) and PCO-20C(75X61)] will help to remove

low level mold spores in the air.

Optional Healthy Climate™ Germicidal Lights

[models UV-500 (46X85), UV-1000 (46X87) and UV-

2000 (46X89)] greatly reduce new mold growth on

illuminated surfaces.

An accumulation of dirt and dust in the air ducts

creates an ideal site for mold growth. To ensure

optimal indoor air quality, non-porous insulation or

externally insulated ducts should be used, particu-

larly on the supply side (i.e. externally insulated

metal plenums and ducts or, smooth-lined flex duct

are preferred).

If your home has existing active mold growth, you

may need to work with a company that specializes

in mold remediation. Lennox is a sponsor of the

Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA). Contact the

HOMEOWNERS IAQ GUIDE FOR PUREAIR™ MODELS PCO-12C, PCO-20C

air purification system. These products should be

installed near the A/C coil to help prevent mold

growth on the damp coil.

MONITORING and MAINTAINING IAQ

The air quality in homes can be continuously moni-

tored for Temperature and Relative Humidity

(%RH). Ask your Lennox dealer about long-term

monitoring of T & %RH and CO (carbon monoxide)

(72N00), as well as additional monitoring options

for additional IAQ parameters as cost-effective

options become available. Also available is a Total

Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) test kit,

processed by an independent analytical lab, that

identifies the level of chemical contaminants in the

home (Part. No. X0264).

A healthy climate can ONLY be sustained with reg-

ular maintenance of the home system. In order to

maintain optimal performance, the homeowner

must change filters and lamps on the PureAir™

system, change humidifier pads on the humidifier,

change germicidal lamps on each UV germicidal

unit, keep the air ducts and air conditioning coils

clean and properly charged, etc. The best way to

ensure that the system is properly maintained is to

utilize a semi-annual service contract offered by

your Lennox dealer. The system should be

checked for optimal performance with routine

maintenance performed at the beginning of every

heating and cooling season. Maintenance is partic-

ularly critical if there are people in the home with

allergies, asthma or other environmental sensitivi-

ties.

For a better understanding of the triggers that are

related to allergies and asthma, please contact the

Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America

(www.aafa.org). Lennox is a sponsor of the Asthma

and Allergy Foundation of America for improved

consumer education of IAQ.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Refer to the PureAir™ Air Purification System

Installation and Maintenance Instructions for the

details of the recommended maintenance.

or your state's health department for a list of com-

panies which specialize in mold remediation and

training.

VENTILATION

Contaminants in the home can be reduced by ade-

quate ventilation. Natural ventilation can be used

by opening windows. Open windows are not a

good option for people who are sensitive to pollu-

tants in the outdoor air (pollens, chemicals, etc.).

Healthy Climate™ Energy Recovery Ventilators

[models ERV1-150 (64X66) and ERV1-200 (64X68)]

and Heat Recovery Ventilators [models HRV1-150

(64X65) and HRV1-200 (64X67)] can provide fil-

tered ventilation. If you, or someone in your family

is sensitive to outdoor pollutants, ask your Lennox

dealer about these products. Exhaust fans which

vent stale or contaminated air to the outside should

be installed in the kitchen, bathroom(s) and laundry

areas to effectively remove contaminants. If there is

a sudden source of contamination in your home

[caused by burned food, oven cleaner, paint or

hobby work that releases chemicals (model air-

planes, soldering, furniture refinishing, etc.)], the

PureAir™ air purification system WILL NOT reduce

the odor immediately. In cases of sudden source

contamination, open windows and doors to rapidly

reduce the concentration of the contaminant.

HUMIDIFICATION

Dry, cold air in your home can make your nose and

throat feel dry, and cause or aggravate other respi-

ratory ailments. By adding moisture to your

home's air, and maintaining proper moisture levels,

the Healthy Climate™ Humidifiers [models WB2-12

(35X51) and WB2-17 (35X52) and WP2-18 (35X50)]

keep you comfortable in your home by reducing

the occurrences of dry skin, chapped lips, and

those annoying static shocks. The Healthy

Climate™ Humidifiers come in by-pass and power

models, and work well as a companion to your

PureAir™ air purification system.

PURIFICATION

Chemicals are converted to carbon dioxide, water

and minerals (PureAir™ air purification system) and

molds are killed or inactivated (Healthy Climate™

germicidal lights). For optimal indoor air quality the

Healthy Climate™ Germicidal Lights are recom-

mended as a companion product to your PureAir™
