iWave uses needlepoint bi-polar ionization to create equal amounts of positive and negative ions. When these ions are injected into the air stream and the breathable air space, they break down passing pollutants and gases into harmless compounds like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapor. The illustration below demonstrates this process.
When the ions come in contact with viruses, bacteria or mold, their reaction decomposes surface proteins of these pathogens, thereby inhibiting their activity. The ions also attach to allergens like pollen and other particles like dust and dander, causing them to band together until they are large enough to be caught by your ventilation system's air filter.
iWave's technology generates the same ions that nature creates with lightning, waterfalls, and ocean waves, etc. Nature uses energy to break apart molecules, naturally cleaning the air and producing a healthy environment. The only difference between the iWaves technology and nature is that the iWave does it without developing harmful ozone.
