Recent Market Survey Primary reason for purchasing an Air Purifier

Where we are today….. Passive Technologies

Passive Technologies Filtering Ionization … Electronic Air “Cleaners” a misunderstood technology Electronic Air “Cleaners” UV Lights … issue with distance from UV bulb and exposure time Portable units …small rooms, inefficient, ineffective, & costly to operate

Don’t Be Fooled ! Typical Air Particle Size Distribution It’s the “Small Sizes” < 0.5 um that are Numerous & Dangerous ! 300-400 million/m3 97% Of Weight ( 28+52+11+6= 97%) But not a big health threat ! Most filter mfgs. spec their product on “weight” not “count”. But 98.5 % Of Particle Count is < 0.5 um A big health threat 98.5

Passive Technologies Common problems… Impossible for ALL the air to get to them! Filters & plates become constant source of pollution, high maintenance, & cost Filters & plates have limited effect on VOCs, odors, bacteria, viruses, mold & mildew How is mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, odors removed on surfaces inside a room? UV lights only work on surfaces… NOT effectively on moving air! Ventilating is extremely expensive & limited in it’s effectiveness If these methods really worked, why is the problem not solved?

Nature’s Way… …to purify the air we breathe Ionization to reduce particle concentrations Oxidation to reduce mold, bacteria, virus and VOC’s Automatic, Proactive & Self-regulating!

Radiant Catalytic Ionization Technology Baylor Univ Hospital Surgeon using our product in his practice. Then we added the power of the Sun!

Breakthrough Technology “Radiant Catalytic Ionization” The Science behind the Technology… The RCI Cell

for maximum surface area Quad-metallic Hydrophilic coating RCI Cell Broad spectrum UV lamp Honeycomb Matrix for maximum surface area Quad-metallic Hydrophilic coating $500 per gallon

The Lamp …no ordinary UV Bulb! Broad Spectrum High Efficiency 100-300 nm 25,000 hours = 3 years! RCI UV

Germicidal UV (254 nm) 254 nano meter

Effectiveness is dependent upon distance, intensity and exposure time Germicidal UV (254 nm) Effectiveness is dependent upon distance, intensity and exposure time

254nm UV Activates the Catalyst The conversion of light to electricity Photoelectric Effect: The conversion of light to electricity Photo – Dissociation, Photo – Ionization, Photo – Electric Effect, Photo – Catalytic Reaction, Photo – Hydro (advance) The Quad-metallic coating: has particular affinities, breaks bonds, releases electrons, holds and releases atoms, steals other electrons. absorbs water vapor It changes everything but itself remains unchanged. It is a “Catalytic” process

The Catalyst Hydrophilic Coating “Hydrophilic” – means the coating absorbs water vapor (H2O) from the air, creating an abundance of Hydrogen and Oxygen for creation of friendly oxidizers Optimum Humidity is 40-60% Photo – Dissociation, Photo – Ionization, Photo – Electric Effect, Photo – Catalytic Reaction, Photo – Hydro (advance) The Quad-metallic coating: has particular affinities, breaks bonds, releases electrons, holds and releases atoms, steals other electrons. absorbs water vapor It changes everything but itself remains unchanged. It is a “Catalytic” process

Quad-metallic Hydrophilic Catalytic Coating The Catalyst Quad-metallic Hydrophilic Catalytic Coating Titanium Dioxide, X, Y, Z Each metal contributes to process: Titanium Dioxide forms two highly reactive substances - Hydroxyl Radicals (OH) & Superoxide Ions (O2-1) - both very strong oxidizers X converts Nitric Oxide to Nitrogen and Oxygen Y speeds up the Titanium reactions by up to 3X. Proven to kill bacteria. Z has unique abilities to work with Hydrogen and can improve the functions of Titanium. Also, helps eliminates algae. Photo – Dissociation, Photo – Ionization, Photo – Electric Effect, Photo – Catalytic Reaction, Photo – Hydro (advance) The Quad-metallic coating: has particular affinities, breaks bonds, releases electrons, holds and releases atoms, steals other electrons. absorbs water vapor It changes everything but itself remains unchanged. It is a “Catalytic” process

185 nm UV produces ozone Photo – Dissociation, Photo – Ionization, Photo – Electric Effect, Photo – Catalytic Reaction, Photo – Hydro (advance) The Quad-metallic coating: has particular affinities, breaks bonds, releases electrons, holds and releases atoms, steals other electrons. absorbs water vapor It changes everything but itself remains unchanged.

254 nm decomposition of ozone 254 nm breaks O3 back down to O2 Photo – Dissociation, Photo – Ionization, Photo – Electric Effect, Photo – Catalytic Reaction, Photo – Hydro (advance) The Quad-metallic coating: has particular affinities, breaks bonds, releases electrons, holds and releases atoms, steals other electrons. absorbs water vapor It changes everything but itself remains unchanged. It is a “Catalytic” process 254 nm

AOP formation of “Friendly Oxidizers” These oxidizers are then picked up in the air stream and dispersed throughout the building …ACTIVELY purifying contaminants! HO2 O2 - Hydroxyl Radicals OHo Hydroperoxyl Radical HO2 Super Oxides O2- Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 Ozonide Ions O3- O3- OH H2O2 H2O2 O3- - O2 Broad Spectrum UV Light OH HO2

RCI Cell advantages The RCI cell produces and consumes ozone (O3) to facilitate the AOP reactions. Typically 90% of the ozone produced is decomposed in process. The RCI cell is NOT an ozone generator, (emits ≤ .02 PPM Ozone), in fact can help regulate O3 levels. Provides redundancy of oxidizers which react up to 40x faster than ozone alone & without irritation. AOP reactants remain effective after leaving cell as a “Purifying Plasma”… dispersed throughout the building ACTIVELY purifying contaminants. Starts by continuously sanitizing the duct system & eventually comes back thru to keep coils clean.

EcoQuest LaundryPure Tips (LaundryPure Disclaimer) Water Quality is important. High chlorine or iron needs a SpringHouse or Pre-Filter (available from EcoQuest) Work with Little or NO Detergent You may still need a small amount of detergent or bleach to deal with whites Pre-Treat spots with diluted Eco-H, use scrub brush and let sit for 20-30 minutes External pressure regulator needed for >75psi Colors still need to be separated to prevent bleeding Some HE washers require a ‘Y’ Valve for water to flow into washer through cold & hot hoses (washer set to warm)
