True HEPA Filtration With Optional Germicidal UV-C Lamps
When it comes to harmful air pollutants, what you can’t see can hurt you. CAP600 series and CAP1200 series Central Air Purifiers with true HEPA filtration are often recommended by allergists, pediatricians and other healthcare professionals for patients with allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. CAP600 &CAP1200 series models represent the ultimate in home air purification systems that deliver clean, pure healthy air into your customers’ homes.
All CAP600 series and CAP1200 series models feature a HEPA filter that is tested and certified to an efficiency of 99.97% or higher at 0.3 microns. This HEPA filter is similar to the kind used to cleanse the air in hospital operating room suites. Your customers can also add-on an optional UV-C or UV Plus lamp for enhanced control of microbes, VOCs and odors.
"Because of its high efficiency at filtering out tiny particulates, HEPA filtration is recommended for those individuals who suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems..."
–American Lung Association
Abatement HEPA Filter Captures Microscopic Contaminants
No other filter captures microscopic contaminants as effectively as a true HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. Scientific studies have shown that more than 99 out of every 100 particles in indoor air are smaller than one micron in size–far too small to be captured by most upgraded filters let alone low-efficiency throwaway furnace filters. The HEPA filter used in the CAP600 series and CAP1200 series models are tested and certified to capture at least 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns in size.
Internal Motorized Impeller Circulates Air
CAP600 series and CAP1200 series Central Air Purifiers are designed to supply HEPA-filtered air to the entire conditioned space in the house without adding any load to the HVAC motor &blower. A powerful, internal motorized impeller pulls contaminated air out of the return, through the filters and pushes the purified air back into the return plenum. A typical installation can replace the entire volume of air in the home with purified air up to 75 times per day.
Simple Partial Bypass Installation
Installing CAP600 series and CAP1200 series units in a “partial bypass” configuration further enables the units to pull air through the highly-efficient filters without adding any appreciable load to the HVAC motor &blower. Bypass connections are made by cutting a 10-inch diameter hole into the return duct and connecting the inlet of the CAP unit to the duct with 10-inch rigid or flexible ducting. The exhaust of the CAP unit is similarly connected into the return duct or plenum downstream from the inlet connection to complete the "bypass loop". Continuous operation of the HVAC fan and the CAP unit is recommended for maximum 24/7 air cleaning performance.
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.
