EcoQuest Uses A Unique Array Of Technologies In Its Air Purifiers

EcoQuest has been a multi-level marketing company dealing air cleaners and home appliances since it was detached from Alpine Industries in January 2000. Their products include the Living Air Classic and Fresh Air ranges, with prices estimated at around $700. Every model features the IntelliAir system which helps customers keep track of the current fan speed, the amount of time left in Away modes, current settings, reminders and more importantly to keep track of routine maintenance. EcoQuest Air Purifiers come with 3-year warranties and are remote-controlled for easier handling.

Additionally, each EcoQuest air purifier also come with a five-speed fan, an Away mode feature which helps reduce mold, mildew and bacteria in unoccupied spaces, carbon filters to aid odor removal, and an ultraviolet-light ionizer. It makes up for its lack of a HEPA filter (a more popular feature in most air purifiers today) by using a technology known as "Space Certified" Radiant Catalytic Ionization (RCI), the same type of technology used to clean the air inside spacecrafts. This ionizer with ultraviolet light aims to reduce airborne contaminants and to kill most microorganisms found in the air through the process of ionization.

Could Ozone Be A Problem, Though?

Nevertheless, the ionization process does produce ozone as a byproduct. As high levels of ozone has been found by certain researchers to cause detrimental effects to human health, EcoQuest has claimed that the ozone levels emitted is within safety levels. This is as Ozone is necessary to be used in these air purifiers to turn particles in the air into ash. In spite of that, Ecoquest International has shown confidence in the cleaning abilities of their purifiers, especially in eliminating smoke and odor, and also by making more than $6000 worth of donations in air purification systems to the Pentagon following the events of September 11. Currently, this company is focusing on research and development for more advanced water and air purification technologies.
