Why is Indoor Air Quality Important?
We spend approximately 90% of our time indoors, with 70% of that time spent at home. Indoor air can be up to 5 times poorer in quality than outdoor air. The American Standard AccuClean® Whole Home Air Cleaner utilizes patented technology to deliver cleaner air throughout your home.
It removes up to 99.98% of airborne particles that pass through its re-usable filter, including 99.9% of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus. The AccuClean® system is also effective at removing a surrogate for the virus that causes COVID-19, based on independent testing. This level of filtration is up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1" filter.
The AccuClean® system is certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, guiding consumers toward products suitable for those with asthma and allergies. It is scientifically proven to reduce exposure to asthma and allergy triggers. Furthermore, American Standard AccuClean® is verified zero ozone producing, ensuring your air is free from harmful byproducts.
