Your First Step to Better
Indoor Air Quality
An independent laboratory has tested and certified that the Fantech Whole House HEPA
uses "TRUE" HEPA filter media – 99.97% effective down to 0.3 microns. That means
the filter will capture up to 99.97% of particles larger than 0.3 microns – that’s much
smaller than a human hair (100 microns). But the unit doesn’t stop at 0.3 microns.
It continues to collect even smaller particles that could become embedded in your
lungs. A system of three filters captures the pollutants and allergens from your home.
The pre-filter collects the largest particles while the carbon filter absorbs odors and
gases. The HEPA filter captures the tiniest particles.
Isn’t it time to consider cleaning the air in your home with a Fantech Whole House
HEPA Filtration System?
“ The quality of indoor air
is something all Americans
should be concerned about.”
