No, AirKoi is certified ozone free; tested to UL-2998 standards.

UL-2998 is an environmental claim validation created by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). Indoor air purification systems that meet this strict standard are considered ozone-free. This crucial standard helps people make informed choices when selecting systems and safeguards them against false claims that may jeopardize safety. Qualifying products must demonstrate they emit less than 0.005 ppm (5 ppb). This is 10 times more stringent than the UL 867 requirement of 0.05 ppm (50 ppb).

Yes, it can make a MERV 8 filter perform like a MERV 13 filter. MERV measures a filter’s ability to capture particles of varying sizes. It stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value and ranges from 1 to 20. The higher a system’s MERV rating, the more effective — and more expensive — a particular filter is. Buying replacement MERV 13 filters would cost up to 75% more than MERV 8 filters…in perpetuity. Not to mention fan energy costs.

The patented technology in AirKoi is widely used in commercial applications - Google, The White House, Harvard University, John’s Hopkins, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, to name a few. Hospitals, surgery rooms and schools have been using this technology for years as well - you have been in ionized rooms before without noticing! Our goal is to bring this existing technology to homes, where you do most of your breathing.

While we recommend professional installation; AirKoi is simple to install and can be installed by the homeowner in under 10 minutes.

Yes, the patented technology used in AirKoi has been demonstrated to deactivate SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), with details from the testing documentation below.

SARS-CoV-2 was exposed to the patented technology for a period of 10, 15, and 30 minutes. Based on viral titrations it was determined that at 10 minutes 84.2% of the viral particles became inactive, at 15 minutes 92.6% of the viral particles became inactive, and at 30 minutes 99.4% of the viral particles became inactive.

Yes, AirKoi is proven effective at eliminating airborne particles. Customers with seasonal or pet allergies are the most vocal about life with an AirKoi - and they will never go without one!

No, this is not a requirement. However, the first couple of filter changes after installing AirKoi, the filter will be noticeably dirtier than usual. This is AirKoi doing its job! You may decide to change your filter more often once you see how much more particles are being captured!
