It’s the patented PlasmaWave technology. It’s a highly unique air purifying system that works in the same way as an ionic generator but doesn’t generate harmful ozone. It works by eliminating pollutants at the molecular level through the use of water vapour.
The process is effective at getting rid of airborne toxins like viruses, bacteria, chemical vapours, odours, and gases. When you combine them with a fan and a sturdy filter system, this forms an air purifier that’s capable of eradicating all types of unwanted pollutants inside your home.
