Q: What does an air purifier do?

A: An air purifier helps to eliminate contaminants that are in the air. Examples of what our purifiers remove from the air include bacteria, mold, viruses, odors, and other contaminants.

Q: Can you explain exactly how an air purifier works?

A: The air purifiers at Air Oasis work by using several technologies: advanced hydrated photocatalytic oxidation, or AHPCO®, technology. Our purifiers with and without HEPA filters have a UV lamp that kills germs that pass through it. The UV light rays also work with the AHPCO® catalyst to create catalytic molecules. These molecules spread out and neutralize carbon-based molecules from smoke, mold, and a variety of other indoor allergens.

Q: Does Air Oasis offer an air purifier that covers the entire house?

A: Our air purifiers, the iAdaptAir® and IonicAir™, are single-room air purifiers. We recommend you put one air purifier in each high-traffic room, such as a living room, or one you spend a lot of time in, such as a bedroom. For the best results, one air purifier in every single room will offer whole-home coverage.

Q: Do Air Purifiers require a lot of electricity?

A: No: A 45-watt light bulb uses more electricity than our most popular air purifiers. In comparison, other air purifiers not manufactured by Air Oasis may use as much as 100 watts of electricity.

Q: Is it true that NASA designed the AHPCO® technology used by Air Oasis?

A: Yes, this technology was originally designed by NASA; however, the research and development team here at Air Oasis has enhanced this technology.

Q: Are your air purifiers made in the USA?

A: Air Oasis manufactures air purifiers in our Texas facility using international and domestic parts. Additionally, we fabricate many components in our facilities located in Amarillo, TX. Whenever possible, we try to purchase components from manufacturers in the U.S.

Q: How does the Bi-Polar®2400 unit work?

A: The easily-installed whole-house air purifier works by creating positive and negative charges that attach themselves to allergens, VOCs, molds, bacteria, and viruses. Depending on the contaminant, the ions render them harmless, reduce them to atmospheric gases, or create particles large enough to drop from the air and into filters.

Q: What does the Bi-Polar®2400 unit remove from the air?

A: 99% of airborne mold, 90% of particulates including allergens, 86% of C. diff, 99% of E. coli, and 99% of feline coronavirus is removed from the air.

Q: Does the Bi-Polar®2400 unit need to work with other air purifiers?

A: No, it does not require our other air purifiers to be effective; however, for maximum results, pair the BiPolar®2400 unit with a single-room air purifier in any high-traffic areas, such as an iAdaptAir® .

Q: Are the Air Oasis air purifiers for residential use only?

A: Our purifiers are for both residential and commercial use. Many healthcare professionals use our air purifiers in their clinics, as well.
