Compatibility
Check your product part and model before confirming your order
PCO cells create a chemical reaction using light to activate a catalyst. It helps oxidize particular pollutants. Mechanical filtration only captures particles in filter materials; however, a Photocatalytic cell is not a HEPA filter and cannot be a replacement of the purifier’s particle filter.
The product is intended to reduce odors and treat biological containments in the air. However, it cannot be guaranteed that it can disinfect an entire room and remove all pollutants.
You can say that PCO performance is dependent on the design of device, catalyst, exposure time, and light output. To establish its emissions and effectiveness, product-specific testing is required.
The Triad Aer Photocatalytic Oxidation Cell is originally designed for the Triad Aer V3. However, it is also compatible with the underneath air purifiers:
EcoQuest Fresh Air 2.1
EcoQuest Fresh Air 2.0
Puratron
GreenTech Environmental GT3000
Merecola Pure & Clear
You must confirm the model and cell specifications of your purifier before ordering a PCO cell.
According to the service claim, the service life of a PCO cell is up to 9000 operating hours. However, it is not guaranteed that every cell will last that long.
