3.3 Filtration System

The unit employs a 5-stage filtration system for comprehensive air purification:

1. Pre-filter: Captures large particles like dust, hair, and pet dander (up to 240 microns).
2. Carbon Filter with Silica Gel: Absorbs unpleasant odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, formaldehyde, and benzo(a)pyrene. The silica gel layer enhances the removal of nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
3. HEPA H13 Filter: Removes 99.97% of PM 2.5 particles, pollen, and other fine airborne allergens.
4. Humidifier Filter: Retains sediment from water, reducing scale buildup and ensuring clean humidification.
5. Plasmacluster Ionizer: Generates positive and negative ions to neutralize airborne viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and odors.
