Bio-Fighter™ UV Light Systems

Dirty Socks Syndrome. Sick Building Syndrome. These are some of the names given to mold and bacteria problems in heating and cooling systems. UV-C light is a proven method of reducing these bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and molds.

Several medical studies using germicidal ultraviolet air disinfection have proven effective in reducing the spread of tuberculosis, measles, influenza, smallpox, and controlling infection in operating rooms.

Lessen your family's exposure to harmful microbes located in the HVAC system of your home with the Bio-Fighter® Germicidal Light System.

Benefits For Your Family

• Breathing purified air reduces your loved ones exposure to disease-producing organisms. Fewer sick days, reduced medical expenses, and improved quality of life can be enjoyed by everyone.
• Children, the elderly, and those with depressed immune systems benefit the most from fewer health challenges.
• Your air handling system can operate more efficiently as the coils, drain pan, and ductwork stay cleaner longer. This saves you money.
• You enjoy peace of mind, knowing you have provided a healthier environment for your family.

What is UV Light?
UV stands for Ultra-Violet light. Ultraviolet light represents the frequency of light between 200 nanometers (nm) and 400nm and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Within the UV spectrum lie three distinct bands of light: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Longwave UV light (315nm to 400nm), or UV-A, refers to what we commonly call "black light." UV-B (280nm to 315nm), or midrange UV, causes sunburn.

Germicidal UV light (200nm to 280nm), or UV-C, is effective in microbial control. Research has demonstrated that within this UV-C band the most efficient frequency for microbial destruction is between 254nm and 265nm. Germicidal lamps that produce the majority of their output in this range will be the most effective in microbial control/destruction.

How UV Light Works
Light rays emitted by the BIO-FIGHTER's mercury vapor discharge lamps penetrate the cell walls of microbes, causing cellular or genetic damage. The microbe dies or is unable to reproduce. Intensity and exposure time will determine how quickly a microbe is killed by UV light.
