The Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer: Improved Indoor Air Quality Made Easy

Introduction

Indoor air quality is a crucial factor in maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment. Unfortunately, many people are unaware that the heating and cooling systems used in our homes can actually contribute to spreading airborne contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew, and allergens throughout the house. These contaminants can have various adverse effects on our health, including allergies, asthma, colds, flu, and sinus infections. The good news is that the Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer offers a safe, economical, and effective solution to significantly reduce airborne contaminants.

Understanding Airborne Contaminants

Before diving into the installation process and benefits of the Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer, it's essential to understand the different types of airborne contaminants that can be found in our homes. These contaminants can range from annoying to potentially harmful, and taking steps to eliminate them is crucial for maintaining a clean and healthy living environment.

The Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer: Overview

The Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer is an innovative solution that effectively attacks and sanitizes airborne pathogens and allergens circulating through your heating and air conditioning ductwork. By utilizing the power of ultraviolet (UV) light, this device offers a chemical-free method of purifying the air in your home. With its simple installation process, you can enjoy the benefits of fresher, cleaner, and sanitized air in no time.

Installation Steps: Fiber Duct Board

If You have determined that your HVAC unit has fiber duct board instead of metal ductwork, follow these installation steps for optimal results.

5.1 Determining the Best Location Choosing the right location for installing the air sanitizer is crucial for maximizing its effectiveness. Consider factors such as the layout of your ductwork and accessibility for maintenance.

5.2 Applying the Insulation Template To secure the air sanitizer insulation, apply the insulation template sticker to the chosen location on the HVAC ductwork. This template will guide you throughout the installation process.

5.3 Drilling the Hole Using the provided 2 and 7/8 inch hole saw, drill a hole with firm pressure at the marked location. Take caution and ensure a clean and precise hole.

5.4 Securing the Octagon Duct Board Mounting Plate Since you're installing on fiber duct board, use the included Octagon duct board mounting plate. Place it over the drilled hole and secure it with tape around the corners.

5.5 Attaching the Clear Mounting Bracket Insert the clear mounting bracket into the hole and use the three screws provided to secure it. You can use a hammer and nail to create starter holes before inserting the screws, if needed.

5.6 Installing the UVC Lamp Prepare the power source for the UVC lamp by unscrewing the lamp clamp nut from the blue power supply. Insert the lamp into the power source until it clicks, then replace the lamp clamp and tighten it securely.

5.7 Connecting the Power Source Slide down the yellow lock mechanism on the power source and mount the unit inside the hole. Turn the lamp to the right until it clicks into place and depress the yellow lock to secure it.

5.8 Completing the Installation Attach the power source to the base by aligning the pins on the power supply with the holes in the white connector cap and turning it clockwise. Verify that the power source is securely attached by giving it a gentle tug. The clear mounting bracket will emit an indigo light, indicating that the UVC power is functioning correctly. Congratulations, your UVC air sanitizer installation is complete!

Installation Steps: Metal Ductwork

For installations on metal ductwork, follow these steps to ensure proper installation and optimal performance of the Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer.

6.1 Selecting the Location and Preparing the Insulation Carefully choose the installation location, considering factors such as accessibility and proximity to the power source. If there is insulation present at the selected site, cut away the insulation and apply tape around the edges to secure it. Avoid covering the power supply with new insulation after installation.

6.2 Applying the Installation Template and Drilling the Hole Apply the installation template to the chosen location and use a nail and hammer to create a starter hole at the center of the template. Drill a hole using the provided hole saw, following the template as a guide.

6.3 Attaching the Clear Mounting Bracket Place the clear mounting bracket into the hole and secure it with the three screws provided. Using a hammer and nail to create starter holes may facilitate this process.

6.4 Installing the UVC Lamp Prepare the power source as explained in the previous section. Securely attach the lamp to the power source, ensuring it clicks into place. Check the attachment by giving the lamp a gentle tug.

6.5 Connecting the Power Source Slide down the yellow lock mechanism on the power source and insert the unit into the mounting hole. Rotate the lamp to the right until it clicks and depress the yellow lock to secure it.

6.6 Completing the Installation Line up the pins on the power supply with the holes in the white connector cap. Once aligned, turn the cap clockwise to attach the power source to the base. Make sure the connection is secure by giving it a gentle tug. The clear mounting bracket will emit an indigo light, indicating that the UVC power is functioning correctly.

Maintenance and Replacement

To ensure the continued efficiency and effectiveness of the Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer, regular maintenance and Timely replacement of the UVC lamp are essential. While the air sanitizer uses less electricity than a 25-watt light bulb, it is recommended to keep it plugged in continuously throughout the year. The UVC lamp itself should be replaced annually for optimal performance. Keep track of the replacement dates directly on the installation template for convenient reference.

Benefits of the Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer

1. Improved Indoor Air Quality: The Bioshield UVC Air Sanitizer effectively neutralizes airborne allergens and pathogens, leading to a healthier living environment.
