Important Note: The actual indoor air quality improvements that can be achieved with air cleaning systems in an indoor environment depend not only on the right media choice and the system's airflow,
but also on factors which are specific to that particular indoor environment. These include circumstantial factors such as temperature, humidity, contaminant mix, the source and intensity of the
contaminants, the size of the indoor environment, the actual fan speed at which the system is operated and the state of saturation of the individual filter elements. Although a specific media may be
recommended for the control of certain contaminants, the manufacturers make no claim as to the specific air cleaning results that can be achieved under the user's individual operating conditions.
