1" Polarized Media Air Cleaner
- Fast installation: no costly ductwork modifications required
- Wires directly to 24V R and C terminals on most IFC boards, or plugs directly into 110V wall outlet
- 97% efficient at 0.3 microns; efficiency increases as the media fibers load
- Patented activated-carbon center screen is effective in removing smoke, odors, pollen, dust, and other contaminants
- Low power consumption; low static pressure drop lets blower run efficiently
- Disposable fiber media pads require only a few minutes to change, every 3 to 4 months, depending on household conditions
- 24V feeds a high voltage power supply to produce 7,000-9,500V of DC output current. Its extremely high internal impedance makes it very safe and virtually short-circuit proof
- Does not produce ozone or arcing like other electronic air cleaners
- Does not produce charged (ionized) particles that collect on clothes, walls and furnishings
- Limited Lifetime Warranty when using only genuine replacement media and when serviced as part of a regularly scheduled service maintenance program
The Polarized Media High Efficiency Air Cleaner installs directly into 1” filter tracks in the existing heating and cooling system. Its electronically enhanced media combines elements of both electronic and media air cleaners. Particles are electrically charged (polarized) and then collected in the high efficiency media. Polarized sub-micron particles join with other particles and are collected on subsequent passes.

Each unit is shipped with a power supply cord that plugs into the air cleaner and wires directly to the "R" and "C" terminals located on most gas furnace integrated control boards. Refer to the Polarized Media High Efficiency Air Cleaner Installation Instructions & Consumer Information for details.
An optional 110 volt step-down transformer allows the appliance to be plugged directly into any standard wall outlet.
The only scheduled maintenance for the Polarized Media High Efficiency Air Cleaners is periodic replacement of the Replacement Media Pads. This is typically done every 3 to 4 months.
