Fantech is expanding its line of HERO residential filtration with the addition of the HS300 whole-house HEPA filtration unit. The HERO HS300 provides full-spectrum air cleaning by removing 99.97 percent of particles of 0.3 microns and larger from the air circulating within the home.
The HERO HS300 offers two-stage filtration—a pre-filter with carbon and a HEPA filter—that together remove pollutants, allergens, odors, viruses and more. The pre-filter with carbon will collect up to 90 percent of particles between 3-10 microns in size, such as pollen, dust, lint, dust mites, and pet dander; the activated carbon also filters out odor-causing particles from the air, such as cooking smells and smoke. The HEPA filter arrests up to 99.97 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns in size, such as bacteria, legionella, combustion smoke, milled flour and mold spores.
The HERO HS300 is designed for installation directly onto the return air plenum of the forced air heating/cooling system; if this type of installation is used, homeowners should run the fan on the forced-air HVAC system continuously to maximize the cleaning effect. The built-in fan and bypass technology on the HS300 ensures that this installation method does not restrict the HVAC system’s airflow. Up to 300 cfm of air is drawn from the return air duct, filtered, and returned upstream.
Alternatively, for homes with limited space around the furnace, the unit can be installed using 8-inch round collars for mounting with ductwork. Each system comes with two 8-inch round collars, two mounting brackets, installation guide, and fasteners.
The HERO HS300 has a fully insulated cabinet for quieter operation and offers variable speeds of 200 cfm and 300 cfm. Under normal usage, the carbon filter only needs to be changed every three to six months and the HEPA filter just once a year.
The HERO HS300 is suitable for existing and new homes of up to 3,000 square feet.
