What is the difference between a dehumidifier and the Air Oasis machines?
A dehumidifier is a household appliance used to help reduce the level of humidity in the air. They are generally not energy-efficient and arelimited in their ability to stop or prevent mold. Mold, a type of fungus, requires moisture, oxygen, warmth, and food, which includes paper, wallpaper, wallboard, sugars (fruits, vegetables), fabrics, body oils, wood, dust, etc. All of these conditions are necessary for it to grow. Lowering the level of humidity helps but does not stop mold. In addition, dehumidifiers do not address any of the other harmful aero-allergens that we deal with here on a daily basis.
Air Oasis Sanifiers, unlike dehumidifiers, are actually designed to destroy mold, mildew, viruses, bacteria and other aero-allergens. They produce catalysts (a unique combination of catalytic molecules, hydro peroxides and super oxide ions) that radiate through a house providing 100% silent air purification.
How do the Air Oasis products work?
(This is a little technical) The Air Oasis air purifiers utilize state-of-the-art, energy-efficient technologies unique to any product currently on the market today: AHPCO Cell (Advanced Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation Cell) - the next generation in catalytic oxidation. The AHPCO Cell technology consists of a proprietary, high-intensity broad spectrum UV tube in a hydrated catalytic matrix cell that creates hydro peroxides, super oxide ions, hydroxyl ions, passive negative ions and ozonide ions that circulate throughout your home or business, providing 24-hour protection against not only airborne mold, but also bacteria, viruses, odors and VOC's (volatile organic compounds). All of these air pollutants combine to cause the allergic effects common in Panama and listed below.
What health conditions are caused or made worse by mold & mildew?
In addition to its being an unpleasant odor and sight, mold can cause harmful effects to human health that might turn to allergic infections and toxic reactions.The most common allergic effects are:
- Nasal congestions and irritation
- Mucous membrane irritation
- Allergic reactions - Rhinitis and Asthma
- Sneezing and coughing
- Throat and eye irritation
- Difficulty breathing
- Asthmatic attacks
- Itching and skin stains
Again, it's important to note that the Air Oasis Sanifiers effectively destroy mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, odors and VOC's, as opposed to merely reducing humidity.
For the 250 Mobile units, one should plan to replace the AHPCO UV Cell once a year. In addition, the filter should be brushed off periodically, depending upon the amount of dust being filtered.
For the tower units (AO1000G3 & 3000XG3) , the AHPCO UV Cell should be replaced only every 3 years. There are no filters to be replaced or cleaned, nor are there plates to be wiped off.
What is the warranty on the Air Oasis units?
The Air Oasis Mobile 250 units and AHPCO cells are covered for 1 year.
The Air Oasis 1000G3, 3000XG3, and 5000 units are covered for 3 years. The associated AHPCO Cells are covered for 2 years.
How often do I run my AO units?
Since we live near forests and rivers, there is a high concentration of mold colonies. You cannot keep spores and many other allergens out of your home, thus the importance of regular home cleaning and maintenance, eliminating and correcting areas which have had water leakage or infiltrations, and regular use of Air Oasis “sanifiers.†This combination provides the very best results.
Which AO Units are in stock and how much do they cost?:
We carry the following units:
- AO Mobile 250 which covers up to 250 square feet, normally being closets, bathrooms, small bedrooms and for travel. This unit also comes with an adapter for use in automobiles. Priced at $165.
- AO 1000G3 which covers up to 1000 square feet, normally used for smaller open living areas, larger bedrooms and closets. Priced at $425.
- AO 3000G3X which covers up to 3000 square feet, normally used for larger open living areas and bedrooms and high contaminant areas. Priced at $550.
Typical Client Feedback:
For the past 3 years we have shared many of our clients' testimonies regarding their experiences with Air Oasis products. Every week we continue to get positive feedback from our clients. Typical comments include:
The cough I had has gone away.
I was able to reduce and then eliminate the allergy medication I was taking.
The sinus drainage I was dealing with is so much better.
This year I have not had the seasonal allergies that I've dealt with for years.
My house and especially my closets smell so fresh.
No more bronchitis!
Even my pets are not wheezing.
We can help you with both Purified Air AND Purified Water!
Special Notice: The U.S. embassy directs U.S. citizens traveling to and/or living in Herrera and Los Santos to the message below from IDAAN, Panama's Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers:
WATER PRODUCED IN CHITRE AND LA VILLA PURIFICATION PLANT NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. Please refer anybody you know in that area to us for help as Berkey filtration systems are used by the Red Cross, Peace Crop and Relief Agencies worldwide for these types of hostile water conditions. IDAAN, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health (MINSA for its acronym in Spanish) in both provinces, took the decision to declare water as unfit for consumption after they received reports on June 30, of the tests conducted by the Public Ministry about the presence of a herbicide dissolved in water.
It is important to note that through diligent testing and research it has been proven that Berkey water filters removed viruses to purification standards, pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites to non detectable levels and harmful or unwanted chemicals to below detectable levels. Until these tests results were made public, words like non detectable were seldom if ever used to describe the abilities of a water filter to remove harmful pollutants. The filters in the Berkey not only took the industry by storm with these unheard of benefits but also added the ability to reduce toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury without removing the beneficial and nutritional minerals needed to support a healthy body and mind.
Owning a Berkey Water Filter gives you the ability to utilize almost any outside natural water source and transform it to the best tasting, purest drinking water possible, all while using a natural method without the use of chemicals or complicated processes. Are you prepared for such an emergency?
