EcoQuest Fresh Air Review
EcoQuest International makes many different air purifiers for home and commercial use and the number one top of the line unit they sell is the Fresh Air by EcoQuest.
The Fresh Air purifier is the latest high tech unit that has been developed through several years of air purification research. The technology in the Fresh Air was originally developed by William Converse who eventually started Alpine Technologies that was later purchased by EcoQuest International.
The Fresh Air was introduced to EcoQuest Dealers back at the company convention in New Orleans in August of 2003 and was then available to customers in November of that same year.
The Fresh Air worked superbly at cleaning the air in people's homes, but almost immediately a problem cropped up with hardware in these air purifiers rusting out. This was because of moisture and the oxidation process caused by ozone used in the machine.
Many Fresh Air's had to be returned to the factory at EcoQuest so eventually the company came out with a kit that contained stainless steel hardware to be sent to customers that had problems with rusting.
The company eventually changed their manufacturing process and upgraded all of the hardware inside the Fresh Air thus alleviating all of the rusting problems.
The Fresh Air machine is now in it's second generation development and is working quite well as reports from the field are much more positive. These air purifiers do a great job of getting rid of odors, reducing mold, mildew and bacteria and leaving your home fresh and clean smelling.
The dust reduction properties are still somewhat under question as some people report great results while others notice little to no reduction in dust. The ionization process used in the Fresh Air removes particles out of your breathing space but does not remove them completely from the environment. Dust can still be reintroduced to your breathing space by being stirred up by walking through your house. To be removed from the environment dust must be filtered and trapped.
Overall I think the Fresh Air works fairly well but may be an expensive investment at a $747 suggested retail price.
