A HEPA Home is a Healthier Home
CAP600 series and CAP1200 series
units are designed for use in both new installations and for
retrofit applications. CAP600 series models are designed for use in
one to four ton forced-air systems. CAP1200 series models are
designed for use in larger (four to ten ton) residential and
commercial systems. One CAP unit is required for each HVAC system
and installed by a licensed HVAC professional.
Standard CAP600 Model
The standard CAP600 model is equipped
with three stages of filtration:
Stage One
is an inexpensive Fiber-Trapper® filter designed to capture up
to five times more dirt and larger particles than a standard
throwaway 1” furnace filter. This filter is even washable if
the homeowner wants to reuse it.
Stage Two
is a dual-purpose Vapor-Lock® carbon filter that captures
smaller particles, as well as odors and some volatile organic
compounds (VOCs).
Stage Three
is a HEPA filter designed to capture bacterial, mold and fungal
spores, pollens and other lung-damaging microscopic particles.
“Of primary concern from a health
standpoint are small, invisible respirable-size particles, with a
higher probability of penetrating deep into the lungs…. And may
cause chronic health effects.”

CAP600-UV and CAP600-UVP Models
These top-of-the-line models have all
of the features of the standard CAP600 model, plus the added
benefits of our germicidal UV-C or UV Plus lamp technology.
The CAP600-UV is equipped with an
ozone-free, high-output germicidal UV lamp designed to irradiate and
kill bacteria, mold and fungal spores, viruses and other microbes as
they pass the lamp or are trapped on the HEPA filter.
The CAP600-UVP model is equipped with
a special dual-output lamp that generates both germicidal UV and a
controlled amount of trivalent oxygen (ozone) via an oxidation
reaction called photolysis. This lamp provides enhanced
effectiveness against odors caused by mold and fungal growth or VOCs
that may be present in the dark, damp recesses of the HVAC system.
When the filter access door is opened
for inspection or servicing, both models feature a safety interlock
switch. The electrical interlock instantly deactivates the lamp to
protect against any possibility of direct skin or eye exposure to UV
light.
CAP1200-UV and CAP1200-UVP Models
Both models contain larger internal
blower systems designed to handle the filtration requirements of
HVAC systems that are four tons (1,600 cfm) or larger, plus have the
added benefits of UV-C or UV Plus lamp technology. These units have
four stages of filtration to handle the higher dirt-loading
requirements of larger systems:
Stage One
is an inexpensive Fiber-Trapper® filter designed to capture up
to five times more dirt and larger particles than a standard
throwaway 1” furnace filter. This filter is even washable if
the homeowner wants to reuse it.
Stage Two
is a 2" pleated particulate filter.
Stage Three
is a dual-purpose Vapor-Lock® carbon filter that captures
smaller particles, as well as odors and some volatile organic
compounds (VOCs).
Stage Four
is a HEPA filter designed to capture bacterial, mold and fungal
spores, pollens and other lung-damaging microscopic particles.
The CAP1200-UV is equipped with an
ozone-free, high-output germicidal UV lamp designed to irradiate and
kill bacteria, mold and fungal spores, viruses and other microbes as
they pass the lamp or are trapped on the HEPA filter.
The CAP1200-UVP model is equipped
with a special dual-output lamp that generates both germicidal UV
and a controlled amount of trivalent oxygen (ozone) via an oxidation
reaction called photolysis. This lamp provides enhanced
effectiveness against odors caused by mold and fungal growth or VOCs
that may be present in the dark, damp recesses of the HVAC system.
When the filter access door is opened
for inspection or servicing, both models feature a safety interlock
switch. The electrical interlock instantly deactivates the lamp to
protect against any possibility of direct skin or eye exposure to UV
light. |
