How iWave Works
iWave is an air purifying device that installs in any duct air conditioning system. When air passes over the iWave, ions produced by the device reduce pathogens, allergens, particles, smoke, and odors in the air, creating a healthy environment without producing any harmful byproducts.
iWave uses patented technology, called needle-point bi-polar ionization, to create equal amounts of positive and negative ions. When these ions are injected into the air stream, they break down passing pollutants and gases into harmless compounds like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor (see illustration below).
When the ions come in contact with viruses, bacteria, or mold, they remove the hydrogen molecules – without them, the pathogens have no source of energy and will die. The ions also attach to allergens like pollen and other particles, causing them to band together until they are large enough to be caught by your ventilation system’s air filter.
iWave’s technology generates the same ions that nature creates with lightning, waterfalls, ocean waves, etc. Nature uses energy and shear to break apart molecules, naturally cleaning the air and producing a healthy environment. The only difference between the iWave’s technology and nature is that the iWave does it without developing harmful ozone.
How can you tell if your home has an indoor air quality problem?
Odors & Other Surface Issues
Musty odors or condensation on windows can be a sign of poor indoor air quality. You may also see discoloration of walls or ceilings, loose drywall tape, wood warping, and peeling or chipping of paint.
Health Symptoms
If you have an indoor air quality problem, it may be affecting how you feel. If you can breathe easier when you’re away from home, your home’s air may not be as healthy as it should be.
