Better Indoor Air Quality in Columbus with an iWave Air Purifier
Reduce viruses with the iWave-R Air Purifier. The iWave family of products have been proven through independent lab testing to significantly reduce a wide variety of pathogens including the coronavirus in living areas and on hard non-porous surfaces.* The iWave is the first air cleaning device to have formal confirmation of this effectiveness.
The iWave Air Purifier has the ability to inactivate up to 99.4% of exposed COVID-19 virus in 30 minutes.
This is the world’s first self-cleaning, no maintenance needlepoint bi-polar ionization generator designed specifically for treating air inside HVAC systems. While this air purifier is suitable for residential applications, it’s designed for light commercial systems. It can be duct-mounted inside or outside to ensure the indoor air quality at your business becomes much cleaner.
iWave-R Residential Details
iWave-R treats the air in any brand of residential duct air conditioning systems up to 6 tons (2400 CFM) in size with no maintenance and no replacement parts. Designed for universal mounting, the iWave-R typically installs inside or outside of duct, or it attaches magnetically near the indoor fan in the air handler. iWave-R always works at peak performance, producing over 160 million ions/cc, more than any other ionizer product on the market. Its patent-pending self-cleaning design includes a programmable cleaning cycle that can clean the emitter brushes every 1, 3, 5 or 10 days. The iWave-R is factory set to clean every third day, which is adequate for a typical installation. iWave-R does not create “black walls” as negative-only ionizer products will do.

Additional Indoor Air Quality Information
Q: Do Residential environments always have the best indoor air quality?
According to the EPA, indoor pollution in residential buildings is caused by particles and gasses released into the air from many different sources. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) found in paint, home cleaning products, and wood finishes mix with the carbon emissions from your HVAC system to cause poor indoor air quality.
Other common sources of indoor air pollution include:
- Tobacco products
- Fuel-burning combustion appliances
- Excess moisture
- Newly installed carpet, flooring, or upholstery
Even outdoor sources, such as pesticides or radon may cause poor indoor air quality in Columbus.
Q: Does Indoor air quality have anything to do with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions?
Yes. Indoor air quality in Columbus has a direct impact on allergies, asthma, and respiratory conditions. Allergens found in your bedroom can impact the way you sleep by causing your asthma to become worse, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Q: How can you improve indoor air quality?
There are three main ways to improve indoor air quality in your Columbus home or business, according to the EPA.
- Eliminate the Source – If possible, the first step you want to take is eliminating the source of pollution or reducing emissions.
- Improve Home Ventilation – The second step to help improve indoor air quality is to improve ventilation. This includes increasing the amount of outdoor air you let inside by opening windows or installing an attic fan.
- Install an Air Cleaner – One of the best ways to make your indoor air quality better is with an air cleaner. The right air cleaner will help to reduce the pollutants in the area by removing particles, gasses, and other harmful pollutants.
Q. Can air purifiers eliminate or reduce coronavirus (COVID-19)?
