Surround Air Multi-Tech 2000 Air Purifier

True HEPA Filter for the most effective protection against dust & allergens, such as pollen, ragweed, mites and mold spores. HEPA filters are recommended by the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Centers of Disease Control.

Germicidal UV Lamp to destroy micro-organisms such as germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi (such as mold toxins). Recommended by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and the Air Institute of Respiratory Education. Also disinfects the micro-organisms that are trapped in the HEPA filter, which is why the CDC recommends using a germicidal UV lamp and HEPA air filter together. The second UV lamp in the Multi-Tech 2000 can be turned on when extra sanitization strength is needed. 

Activated Carbon Filter for chemicals, gases odors and cigarette smoke. The most absorbent filter material known to man. Recommended by the Centers of Disease Control, the Dept. of Health and Human Services and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

Ionizer which disperses negative ions to seek out and remove particles & bacteria from the air. Proven by government studies to be effective, and to enhance performance of filters. Found to be highly effective in multiple U.S. Dept. of Agriculture studies. 

Electrostatically-charged dust collection grid effectively traps charged particles & pollutants like a magnet. Simply wipe clean when dirty. In a study by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, electrostatic precipitation was found to be the more effective in purifying the air than any other filter type.

Anti-Bacterial Pre-Filter for larger particles, lengthening the life of the other filters. Pre-filters are recommended by the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Quiet Operation ensuring peace and quiet while running.

Low Energy Usage ensuring low electricity costs, even if running the Multi-Tech 2000 continuously.

Low Replacement Costs. Just $12 to $24 per year for replacement filters and UV lamps.

How it Works:

How the air-cleaning technologies of the Multi-Tech work concert to neutralize the broad spectrum of common household pollutants.

Washable Pre Filter. The air first enters pre filter, capturing the largest particles, which enhances the durability and performance of the other filters.

Washable Dust Collector Plates. The electrostatically-charged dust collector grid traps particles and pollutants like a magnet. This is similar to Friedrich C-90A, which has been Consumer Reports top-rated air purifier. Unlike the C-90A, the Multi-Tech 2000 has multiple other leading technologies.

Activated Carbon Filter. The best type of air filter for trapping chemicals, gases, odors and cigarette smoke. According to Penn State Dept. of Aerobiological researchers, carbon filters serve to remove odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals that other filters cannot. (More Info)

High-Efficiency HEPA Filter. The most effective type of air filter at capturing dust, allergens and other solid particles (including bacteria). HEPA filters are recommended by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. (More Info)

Germicidal UV Lamp. The most effective way to destroy micro-organisms, such as germs, viruses, fungi (such as mold) and bacteria. Also destroys micro-organisms including those that are trapped by the HEPA air filter, preventing them from reproducing and recirculating through the room. UV lamps are recommended by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control. (More Info)

Safe and Effective Ionizer. Circulates trillions of negative ions to neutralize floating pollutants throughout the room. A Journal of Hygiene study found negative ions to improve efficiency of filter units, and multiple studies (including those by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture) have found ionizers to be highly effective against dust, bacteria, etc. Finally, the Multi-Tech 2000 ionizer is proven to be safe, producing virtually no ozone whatsoever.

Just some of the many types of pollutants removed by the Multi-Tech 2000:

Dust/Dust Mites. The Hepa air filter in the Multi-Tech 2000 is highly effective at capturing solid particles such as dust and dust mites. According to the Journal of Hygiene, ionizers help to increase the efficiency of filters by causing airborne particles to conglomerate, making them easier to capture in the filtration material. The dust collector grid also helps with dust and mites, which are magnetically bonded to the electrostatically-charged metal plates as they pass through. Plus, negative ions also cause airborne particles to precipitate out of the air you breathe, and have been found to be extremely effective at controlling dust without the presence of a filter, through studies conducted by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. UV light can be deadly for dust mites.

Bacteria. Much of the bacteria floating around in the air can be effectively captured by the Hepa air filter, while the germicidal UV lamp serves to disinfect the bacteria trapped by the Hepa filter. Plus, according to studies by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, negative ion-producing ionizers are extremely effective at reducing airborne bacteria. The dust collector grid also helps to remove bacteria from the air.

Pollen and Other Allergens. Hepa air filters are the most commonly recommended filter for allergens, and are generally considered the most effective type against them. Negative ion-producing ionizers increase the efficiency of filters by causing airborne particles to conglomerate, making them easier to capture. Plus, negative ions also cause airborne particles to precipitate out of the air you breathe. The dust collector grid will also capture allergens, which are magnetically bonded to the electrostatically-charged metal plates, which can be periodically wiped clean.

Mold/Fungi. Mold spores are effectively captured by Hepa air filters, especially with the help of negative ion-producing ionizers. UV light is deadly against the microbiological toxins associated with mold. A second, high-powered UV light, adds to the germicidal power of the Multi-Tech 2000 when activated. The activatedcarbon filtration, along with the programmable sanitizer, are effective against mildew smells often emitted by household molds.

Cigarette Smoke. The carbon air filter in the Multi-Tech 2000 absorbs smoke particles and the toxic chemicals associated with cigarette smoke. When activated, the programmable sanitizer helps to reduce or eliminate odors from cigarette smoke. The negative ions also remove smoke particles from air.

Chemicals and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). The carbon air filter is very effective at absorbing chemicals and gases.

Germs/Viruses. The UV light is deadly against micro-organisms such as germs and viruses, and highly effective at destroying them as they pass by the UV lamp. Negative ions have also been known to help neutralize viruses.

Odors. Both the programmable sanitizer and activated carbon air filter are effective at eliminating or reducing strong odors.

Carbon Monoxide. A statistically significant decrease of CO values was found with an ionizer activated. This was discovered by researchers at Brompton Hospital in London, and published in European Respiratory Journal.
