Airwise is based on advanced technology that goes beyond mechanical filtration methods like high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and other methods like electrostatic filtration, ozone, ultraviolet light and ionizers. Airwise technology (photocatalysis plus WisePointeTM) oxidizes odors, fungi, mold and parasites, and toxic chemical gases. At the same time, it settles dust and other large particles out of the air and destroys microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. Airwise creates inductive warmth, drawing humidity into the purifier. When humidified air enters the target area, a photocatalytic reaction occurs and superoxide ions and hydroxyl radicals are created. As an added benefit, positively charged indoor pollutants are treated by the WisePointe technology which generates active negative ions at an accelerated rate, thereby enhancing the speed at which dust and other airborne particles are dropped out of your breathing space. Airwise technology works “outside of the box so it is not necessary for polluted air to actually enter the purifier. This process significantly reduces allergens such as pollen, pet dander, dust and smoke; and it destroys viruses, bacteria, mold and mildew. So, why settle for stick (grid) units or noisy fan machines? Air that is not circulated through those units is never purified! Airwise needs no fan, so it’s totally silent. And it has no grid or filter, so it requires no cleaning or filters replacement. All you do is replace the photocatalytic lamp module once a year (no tools required).
