UVPhotoMAX™ GI is the ultimate in HVAC air purification combining PCO + UV + Bi-polar ionization

UVPhotoMAX™ GI is a powerful whole-home air purifier with built-in adjustability for living and working spaces up to 3300 square feet. Designed to address virtually all types of air contamination except large particulates such as pollen, it disinfects the HVAC airstream air as well as surfaces in living areas using Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) germicidal UV light and and bi-polar air ionization.

An effective mix of PCO technologies and ionization creates air that is more naturally pure. Ultravation’s exclusive and patented PCO TiO2 formulation includes germicidal silver and zinc. To optimize effectiveness in both disinfection and purification.

UVPhotoMAX™ GI core features:

Industry-leading: 200 sq. in. layered PCO catalyst surface area

10-inch high intensity 254nm UV lamp for airstream disinfection

Bi-polar ionization: The built-in plasma ion generator emits friendly ions that freshen the air by breaking up complex molecules of VOC and other chemical pollutants—in the same way a summer storm freshens the air outdoors. These ions also electrically charge microscopic particulates such as atmospheric dust causing them to gather into grouped particles ready for capture in air filtration.

Patented: 1) PCO adjustability that never affects UV or ion performance and 2) for Ultravation's exclusive highly effective PCO formulation.

UVLampMonitor™ Microprocessor Control: LED display shows system operating status and notifies when the lamp is due for replacement.

Expandable: Add a UV lamp powered by the purifier's auxiliary port— the EZ-Light 6P for germicidal coverage at the cooling coil and drain pan or add the EZ-Light-4-DUV, the DRAINLight UV accessory add-on*, to disinfect the HVAC condensate running from the drain pan into the drain lines to address biological infestation such as Zooglea (white drain slime) and other bio-growth.

Alternatively, UVPhotoMAX GI can power a second PCO module for increased overall purification performance.

18,000-hour UV-C lamp life: One-year recommended replacement / two-year MAX

Commercial-grade construction for durability and longevity.

Self-cleaning! The PCO surfaces are continually cleaned through the PCO process.

High-speed electronic power supply. Optimizes UV lamp performance and lifespan.

Warranty:  Lifetime system warranty / 1-year UV lamp warranty

UVPhotoMAX™ GI conforms to UL 2998 (3rd Edition, July 10, 2020) clause 6.2, emittance of ozone not exceeding a concentration of 0.005 ppm.

Ionization adds power to the UVPhotoMAX™ GI air purification 

Enhances germ-killing and air-freshening power while enabling the removal of harmful air-suspended micro-particulates. The ionization process electrostatically collects micro- and nano-particulates into large, filterable groups.

UV light and ionization work together

Bi-Polar Ionization: The built-in UVPhotoMAX GI ionizer combines its ions with PCO purification and UV disinfection.

PCO reaches beyond filtration to remove biological and chemical air contaminants

Benefits of Ultravation PCO for indoor environments

Healthier, fresher air through nanotechnology: PCO (photocatalytic oxidation) works at the molecular level to break down chemical impurities including common odors, VOCs and toxic fumes in homes and offices. PCO converts them back into the normal components of fresh air.

PCO is germicidal: Ultravation PCO air purifiers deactivate bacteria, viruses and allergens in the HVAC air stream and on household surfaces* (*Selected models).

Photocatalytic (PCO) technology differs from filtration with its ability to reduce contamination much smaller than can be captured in filtration.

Applications include:

• Homes
• Offices
• Schools
• Industry

• Restaurants
• Medical facilities
• Pet centers
• Cruise ships

• Hotels
• Military
• Bus stations
• Retail shops

The Science: A unique and patented PCO process

Ultravation PCO air purifier surfaces are coated with a patented titanium dioxide (TiO2) formulation that includes both silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) ions. This combination enhances both disinfection and the breakdown of complex chemical impurities in the air and on surfaces.

VOC-untouched

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a common component of indoor air contamination.

VOC-ions-attached

Hydroxyl radicals, short-lived charged ions created by TiO2 and UV light, attach to VOCs...

VOC-broken-up

...breaking them up to form simplified molecules of mostly water vapor and CO2.

Germicidal UV Light Plug-in Upgrade Kit for UVPhotoMAX

It’s easy to add a second UV Light for additional disinfection

Saves energy by maintaining peak HVAC efficiency

The EZ-Light 6P, an add-on remote lamp, connects directly to most Ultravation® systems and provides additional germicidal UV-C light to keep the HVAC coil and surrounding surfaces clean of clogging and insulating biofilms that reduce energy efficiency and can be a major source of mold allergen—saving energy, and reducing HVAC maintenance and repair costs—and while increasing airstream disinfection.

Your HVAC professional can advise after inspection whether a second UV lamp is advisable.
