Why should an air conditioner be cleaned and disinfected?

In order to protect yourself and your family from the various viruses, fungi and bacteria that may grow in your A/C unit.
When it comes to A/C-related diseases, you usually hear about the so-called legionnaires’ disease – caused by Legionella bacteria – the primary cause of which is the use of neglected, inadequately cleaned air conditioners.

The name of the disease dates from 1976, when a Philadelphia convention of the American League, a veterans’ organization, was followed by an outbreak of mass pneumonia, which claimed over 30 lives and received considerable media attention.

If you inhale air infected with Legionella and the bacteria reach your lungs, the initial influenza-like symptoms may – depending on your resistance – be followed by severe pneumonia, diseases of the digestive and nervous systems and ultimately even death.

There are two distinct types of legionellosis:

• Atypical legionella pneumonia, also known as legionnaires’ disease: its main symptom is pneumonia, which, combined with high fever and various extrapulmonary symptoms, often results in a life-threatening condition.
• Pontiac fever: caused by the same bacterium, Pontiac fever is a respiratory disease without pneumonia that follows a much milder course; it is similar to acute influenza.

An inadequately cleaned A/C unit may also trigger additional respiratory and other symptoms, including dry eyes, a parched or scratchy throat, a dry nasal mucous membrane or, in more severe cases, headache, dizziness, fatigue and tinnitus.
It may also induce allergic symptoms, and sometimes even toothache and conjunctivitis (pinkeye).

Our health- and environment-friendly, organic cleaning and disinfecting agent kills 99.9999% of Legionella bacteria and all other types of mold, fungi, viruses and bacteria.

In addition to protecting your health, a regularly maintained air conditioner is also cheaper to operate, as it consumes less electricity.

Hypochlorous acid, this special substance, is also produced in the human organism, so it has no detrimental health effects. In the human body it is generated by the immune system, which deploys it to destroy invading fungi and bacteria that may cause infections. In some countries – e.g. the USA, the UK, Japan and other Asian countries – hypochlorous acid is also used to treat wounds and disinfect skin.

This pH neutral substance has much more disinfecting power than traditional A/C cleaners.

It provides protection against 99.9999% of the mold, fungi, viruses and Legionella bacteria found in air conditioners.

It cleans, deodorizes and disinfects.

It is environmentally friendly, as it breaks down completely in a short time and leaves no ecological footprint. When released to the environment, it poses no threat to waters and does not pollute the soil or the flora.
It is organic in nature, as its production mirrors a biochemical process. When used, it does not induce any allergic reactions or trigger suffocating fits of coughing, nausea, etc.

The substance has also proved its worth in hospital conditions, as it has been demonstrated to be effective against all known enveloped and non-enveloped viruses found in a human environment.

Licensed by the Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OTH), tested by an accredited laboratory and certified by the National Center for Epidemiology, it is used by healthcare institutions, even in operating rooms.
