Technology	AHPCO™ Cell: Next generation of advanced photo catalytic oxidation.  The newest technology on the market.	UVC Light: Old UV technology that uses UVC light to kill microbials.  With no ions being produced the unit will cover a very low range of pollutants.
Mold Reduction	Lab test results show a 98% reduction throughout the test chamber.	They claim 99.9% reduction of microbes, but we could not find tests to back it up.  The air must travel through the unit to kill the microbes and with their small and quiet fan there is not much air traveling though the unit.
Reduce odors, VOC’s, bacteria and viruses	Labs show odors cut in half quickly.  VOC's are reduced by as much as 98%.  Bacteria and viruses are also quickly destroyed throughout the home.	Their unit only reduces microbes and does nothing for odors or VOCs.

Placement in home	With our unique design, air enters the unit just above the base and out of the angle cut at the top.  With this design, our unit can be placed on virtually any shelf, in corners, against walls or just about anywhere.  It's artistic brushed aluminum case allows the unit blend nicely with almost any decor.	The unit can be placed just about anywhere, but may not go very well with your decor.  It's space age look might stand out.
Meets Federal safety limits for ozone. The FDA set the safety limit at 0.04 ppm	Our unit uses a unique catalyst to convert ozone to safer ions.  It relies on friendly oxidizers to purify your air instead of ozone.	With no ions being produced their UV lamp will only cover half of the usually air quality concerns when compared our AHPCO Cell, but from what we could see there is no ozone produced.
