HEPA filter removes 99.97% of all
airborne filth and will not clog in two years.
Simple, quick one thumbscrew filter change in one minute.
NO MESS, QUICK, CLEAN IN ONE MINUTE |
Very small Hog's hair filter removes
only about 10% of filth from ventilation air until it clogs up in 2-3
months. Messy cleanup, refit of filter |
No exterior filter; interior filter is
difficult to access and housing is difficult to clean. Interior filter
removes about 10% of filth from ventilation air. Often needs cleaning
every 30 days. Unpleasant, dirty job. |
Without filter, outdoor
filth is delivered into the ductwork and occupant's lungs. When small
filter clogs, no radon reduction occurs until filter is cleaned or
replaced |
QUIET

eliminate siren-like noise of off-the-shelf fans. |
NOISY

control operation unless occupants manually turn the radon system off as
humidity goes too high |
It may take months or even
years for moisture saturation to reach 70% by weight, but when it does,
mold will suddenly appear everywhere. |

dehumidification and corrects poor performance or warns of
possible failure |
