It draws contaminated air through a pre-filter and a combined HEPA\/activated carbon filter, and carries a supplementary UV-C lamp downstream of the filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the machine you run alongside air movers and dehumidifiers to capture the particulate they stir up — particularly on category 3 water damage and mould remediation, where uncontrolled airborne spread is the main risk to the rest of the structure.

This lamp uses a quartz envelope that transmits 253.7 nm while suppressing the ozone-generating line, and the lamp manufacturer states the glass is ozone-free. That is what allows the unit to run in a semi-occupied space.

A UV-C lamp that has lost most of its output still lights normally. \"It is still glowing\" is not a serviceability test — without a UV radiometer there is no way to check output in the field, which is why the interval is a calendar rule rather than a condition-based one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety — read before servicing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV-C exposure.\u003c\/strong\u003e 254 nm radiation causes photokeratitis (welder's flash) and skin erythema.

Mercury-containing lamps are handled under state and territory waste regulations, which vary by jurisdiction. Only two facilities in Australia process them, so lamps need to go to a collector who delivers to one of those.
