The first stage of the system involves the carbon filter that helps eliminate odors and larger particles that can even be seen with the naked eye, and is recommended to be changed every 90 days.The second stage uses a high efficiency HEPA filter which captures the microscopic particles which are really what cause allergy and Asthma sufferers severe problems. These microscopic particles include; dust mites, pollen, animal dander, ragweed, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's), skin cells, swine flu virus, and bacteria. The HEPA filter captures 99.7% of all airborne allergens down to .3 microns (300 smaller than the diameter of human hair), and needs to be changed on a yearly basis. The Electrolux Oxygen Pet Air PurifierThe final stage is the PlasmaWave which uses negative and positive ions that remove any airborne odor causing particles. This process causes no Ozone to be released back into the air. The main HEPA Filter handles the majority of the filtering process.Five Fan Speeds, and Remote ControlThe Oxygen Ultra has comes standard with a five speed fan, and a remote control. The lower 2 speeds are very quiet, and can easily slept through. The remote control is handy for lowering the fan speed at night before going to bed.Odor Detector, and Filter Replacement IndicatorThe Electrolux Oxygen Ultra EL500AZ comes standard with an Odor Sensor, which will automatically adjust the fan speed according to whether or not it senses odors. The sensor is very sensitive, and we at GoVacuum have extensively tested this feature, and were very impressed with it. It is able to detect cooking odors, pet odors, odors caused by chemicals, or body odors, and more. When it senses there is an odor present, the air purifier will turn up the fan speed until the odor has been eliminated, then turn the fan back to the setting it was set on prior to the odor. The EL500 series also have a filter indicator change light. After approximately 1 year, the air purifier will automatically indicate when the filter needs to be changed.Engery Star RatedThe Electrolux Oxygen air purifiers are all Engery Star Rated. When left on the automatic setting, this appliance costs only pennies a day to operate, while still effectively cleaning the air.Help protect spreading of the swine flu virus outbreak by having an air purifier running constantly in your home.
