Biocide Technical

How does Biocide actually perform all these amazing feats? Biocide emits a unique energy that penetrates the cell walls of microbial, causing cellular damage at the genetic level. The microbial then becomes unable to reproduce or spread any further. The amount of exposure time and level of intensity determines how quickly a microbial is rendered ineffective.

While an air filter is still needed in order to keep dirt, pollen and other particulates from invading your home, Biocide contributes significantly to the reduction of microbial that pass through filters and into your air stream.

Proper placement of the Biocide unit above and below the coil or near a surface area that is prone to microbial growth will assist in lowering the amount of potentially viable microbes on that surface.

Biocide units are available in multiple sizes, so the unit you receive will be specific to your needs or the needs of your business.

By leaving our windows shut, as so many of us do, our indoor air becomes stagnant. This allows bacteria, molds and viruses to become more concentrated. This, in turn, causes inflammation of mucous membranes, upper respiratory problems and can greatly aggravate asthma and sinuses, in addition to other breathing conditions. Biocide assists in combating high levels of this microbial by stopping their continued spread and wiping them out.

Most people spend 90% of their time indoors, with little or no exchange of air. Especially in Florida, with the blistering heat, this environment is highly susceptible to becoming a breeding ground for potentially dangerous pathogens. In high numbers, these pathogens can be highly hazardous to human health. With Biocide energy, these risks can not only be lessened, but avoided entirely.

Biocide also is instrumental in stopping “Dirty Sock Syndrome”. This phenomenon, caused by bacteria that collects and grows on the indoor coils of heat pumps and air conditioners, is a result of more efficient air conditioning systems.

How is this possible? By virtue of their efficiency, these systems can grow mold better than previous systems. For example, old systems used to use a “4 Fin” system, but modern systems use “29 Fin”, which, while more efficient, is also more delicate and prone to breakage. Biocide’s Stage 4 can remove the bacteria and destroy, not simply cover up, but DESTROY the musty odors that pervade such houses.
