These are common questions regarding both the Steril-Zone Room Air Purifier and the SteriLight Whole House Air Purification System. Click a question to view the answer.


How do SteriLight and Steril-Zone differ?

SteriLight is an installed whole house UVC air purifier system. Steril-Zone is a portable room air purifier for rooms up to 1000 sq ft that combines the same UVC technology with two additional air cleaning stages for particulate and VOC control.

Can I use both products?

Definitely! SteriLight delivers cleaner air to your entire home, while a Steril-Zone air purifier may be used to provide supplemental protection where needed, e.g., a nursery, or bedroom of a family member with allergy or asthma problems.

Should I be worried about ozone?

Not with our products. Steril-Zone and SteriLight do not produce ozone. Other products may, so be aware. The health hazards associated with ozone are well-documented and may include coughing, throat irritation, wheezing, lung damage, and aggravation of asthma and other respiratory ailments. The American Lung Association states that "exposure to ozone causes a variety of adverse health effects, even at levels below the current standard".

Is UVC technology proven?

Absolutely! Steril-Aire UVC products have been installed in buildings all over the U.S. and worldwide - including hospitals, schools, offices, public buildings, food processing plants, electric utilities and residences. View the Case Studies section of the Steril-Aire website for details.
