What Is an Air Scrubber?  

An air scrubber is an advanced indoor air quality system that installs directly into your HVAC ductwork. Unlike portable air purifiers or basic filters, which clean air as it passes through them, air scrubbers treat the air throughout your entire home. 

Using ActivePure® Technology, air scrubbers combine UV light with a photocatalyst to generate oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals. These are distributed through your HVAC system to help neutralize contaminants in both the air and on surfaces. 

This NASA-inspired technology, recognized by the Space Foundation, operates whenever your HVAC system is running. 

Air Scrubber vs. Air Purifier: What’s the Difference?  

Many homeowners ask whether they need an air scrubber or a traditional air purifier. While both improve indoor air quality, they work in very different ways. 

Air purifiers work passively by filtering air as it moves through the device. They clean only the air that passes directly through the unit and do not treat surfaces, making them best suited for basic air-quality improvement. 

Air scrubbers work by releasing oxidizers into your home’s air. This allows them to clean both the air and surfaces. Air scrubbers help reduce bacteria, viruses, mold, and odors throughout the house. 

Benefits of Air Scrubbers  

Installing an air scrubber provides several whole-home indoor air quality benefits, including: 

Reduces Airborne Contaminants  

Air scrubbers help reduce dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and viruses circulating through your home. Advanced systems can reduce up to 99% of many common airborne contaminants. 

Sanitizes Surfaces  

Unlike basic air purification systems, air scrubbers treat surfaces. Oxidizers help neutralize bacteria and viruses on commonly touched surfaces. 

Eliminates Odors  

Air scrubbers break down odor-causing compounds at the molecular level. This makes them highly effective against odors from pets, cooking, smoke, and everyday household activities. 

Reduces VOCs  

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by cleaning products, paints, and building materials can negatively affect indoor air quality. Air scrubbers help break down and remove these compounds, creating a cleaner indoor environment. 

Protects Your HVAC System  

By reducing contaminants before they circulate through your ductwork, air scrubbers help keep HVAC components cleaner. This can improve system efficiency and enhance long-term performance. 

Energy Efficient  

Most air scrubbers use less than 20 watts of electricity, about the same as a small LED light bulb. They operate automatically whenever your HVAC system runs, with minimal impact on energy usage. 

Who Benefits Most from an Air Scrubber?  

Air scrubbers are an excellent solution for homeowners who want more than basic filtration, especially those with: 

• Allergy and asthma sufferers 
• Pet owners 
• Homes with smokers or lingering cooking odors 
• Families concerned about bacteria and viruses 
• Health-conscious homeowners 

For these types of concerns, basic air purifiers may fall short of addressing contaminants throughout the home.
