New Technology Reduces Exposure to Infectious Germs

After suffering now for many years working in new homes(I build custom showers of tile and stone),I had finally reached the end of my rope. All day,most every day spent in a new house under construction is spent with the misery of difficult breathing.Apparently I like many others am allergic to many of the components used in modern day construction materials.Quite simply most days are spent with what seems to be clogged or swollen sinuses Regardless it is miserable.
In my search for relief I was most struck by the technology from one manufacturer boasting NASA connections. I am smart enough to know the respiratory problem is airborne,it is a construction zone.This is why I sought air purification expertise. the name of the company is Ecoquest International and have been around for 20 years in the air and water purification business in fact they sell more air purifiers than their top two competitors combined!
Now the main difference that sets their purifiers apart is this NASA technology (RCI cell) incorporated into the unit. RCI acronym for Radiant Catalytic Ionization,was developed by NASA to prolong the life of plants in space.Well these guy at Ecoquest are a bunch of Bible pounding Christians and through prayer began incorporating this technology into their flagship purifier "The Freshair". What this has accomplished has been turning heads now in the USDA for the last year.
Dr James Marsden,KSU ,conducted tests using RCI cell against bacteria,viruses and mold on surfaces resulting in amazing results,you can view these test results yourself:
KSU Test Results
You can see that the results are incredibly promising.Here in a nutshell is what Dr Marsden had to say in laymans terms how it works," The combination of ionization and the ActivePure (RCI) cell in Fresh Air helps remove floating particles from the air. University of Cincinnati tests clearly show that in controlled scientific published tests, Fresh Air reduced floating microbial matter by up to 250% over gravity, or in an environment without Fresh Air. Removing matter from air is good. If it is not in the air, it cannot get into your lungs. Then, KSU studies show that the ActivePure component of Fresh Air also inactivates mold, bacteria and even some viruses, like Avian flu, on surfaces." ActivePure sends little active scrubbers out of the Fresh Air, ecobox, and other EcoQuest technology. They act like little pacmen who safely destroy mold and germs on the surfaces in your environment."
A week later I had one sitting on the job. First of all,I love the fragrance emitting from the unit. Secondly,the air even feels different,like thinner or fresher or something,I do not know I just know I like it! After I sat it up on a high position (above head level),I cranked it on high because I wanted to purify all the air in my workspace before I got started mixing mud for the day. Meanwhile I realize the painters are showing up and realized they are setting up to spray lacquer.This is an 11,000 sf house by the way.But the fact is when they spray lacquer,I am leaving! I refuse to be exposed to the vapor from the lacquer! But,today is different I want to see if this thing can eliminate the lacquer from the air,if it does I will work,if it does not,I am going home till they finish spraying!
I go ahead and start mixing mud,with the unit running overhead and the painter is in the next room prepping the cabinetry he is planning on spraying when I notice a peculiar reaction today when pouring the thinset mix into the 5 gallon bucket. Usually when pouring the very fine powder I catch myself holding my breath so as not to breathe the fine dust particulates of portland cement that inevitably billow from the bucket upon opening and dumping the sack. But today the dust cloud never got above waist high! Very strange indeed! This is the ionization at work ,totally cool I think,this is like science class.. Pretty soon I have my prep all done and I get to work. After a bit I realize the painter is spraying in the next room.Can't smell a thing,walk closer to the door,still nothing.I have to walk completely out of my area before I even get a scintilla of lacquer,amazing! throughout the day various other tradesman stopped by the job and came in where I was when they realized I was the only other craftsman working inside where the lacquer was going on. Mainly wondering if I had lost my mind working inside with the lacquer. However,one by one when they stepped into my area their first response each and every time was " How come it doesn't smell like laquer in here?" and my response was to point to the unit on the top shelf and remark"That purifier is totally knocking it from this room"
Oh and by the way I am now not the only craftsman to bring one to the job now. Three other subcontracting craftsmen from that job bought units for their job site and two told me they had purchased units for their homes too.
I have discovered some really beneficial features about the Freshair by Ecoquest.Having owned 2 now for over a year,one for the job one for the house,you do not have enough money to buy this from me. My house first of all has never felt nor smelled as clean as it does to day.My trashcan NEVER gets funky smelling.I could sit next to you on my couch and smoke a cigarette,a pipe,a cigar,I don't care what and you will never smell it! NEVER! This thing is totally amazing! I've even been told they are staring to put these units in produce markets because it will actually increase shelf life of produce because it kills all bacteria....think about it ,that will slow down organic breakdown it seems to me would be the logical conclusion. Shoot they put them in a pre school in Pennsylvania and noted an absentee rate reduction of 75%!
All I know for sure is these are the coolest gadgets with the most incredible health benefits I have ever seen and I will fight you to keep mine!

Get your own Freshair!!
