Frequently Asked Questions about the Swordfish Single Room Unit.

You know that the Swordfish Single Room UVC Air Purifier is a great addition to the home of any asthma or allergy sufferer, or anyone who cares about the air they breathe for that matter, but we thought you might have some other questions that need answering before you take the plunge and make the purchase.

We’ve got a great Single Room UVC Air Purifier FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section on our main website, which we think is worth repeating over here on the blog:

Can you tell me where to buy replacement bulbs in the future?

How much maintenance does it require?
Wash filter every 3 months
Replace lamp once a year – when indicated by the flashing red light

Does it capture dust?
The allergen filter will capture dust.

How long to feel the difference?
Our consumers who suffer from allergies and asthma feel a difference within the first 24 hours.  Those who do not sometimes come to a realization after a winter season, that they did not get colds / flu’s that year.

Does it produce ozone?
Swordfish doesn’t produce ozone. Ozone has been shown to worsen chronic respiratory conditions (EPA) so we developed Swordfish to be non ozone forming.

How does it work?
Swordfish attacks the DNA structure of a micro organism – very similar to how humans would be affected if we were close the sun.  Swordfish de-activates the DNA structure rendering a micro organism unable to reproduce or cause you bodily harm.  The benefit to Swordfish uvc is that it kills rather than just trapping or filtering.

How much will it cost to run?
Swordfish costs pennies a day to run, (5-8 cents).  And a total of $20/30 per year.  Swordfish is designed with solid-state ballast which draws only 1/3 of an amp.

What is the history of UVC?
UVC was first discovered in 1904 as a recognized technique.  It has been used in hospitals and medical facilities for decades.

Manufacturer:
Swordfish is manufactured by Allanson International Inc. that has been around for 80 years.

How can you say it prevents colds and flu and alleviates allergies?
Swordfish kills the bacteria that can cause recurring colds and flu’s as well as pneumonias.  Our consumers say they feel everything from sleeping better to not using as many puffers/allergy pills.  While moulds and allergies, bacteria and fungus can aggravate respiratory discomfort, Swordfish kills those micro organisms so they can no longer cause the same symptoms.
