Dometic Breathe Easy Air Purification System
The Dometic Breathe Easy Air Purification system is designed for marine and RV environments, providing advanced air cleaning by leveraging technologies such as ionization and photocatalytic UV processes to neutralize airborne contaminants and odors.
Technology and How It Works
-
The system employs photocatalytic Nano-Mesh technology combined with specific UV lighting to break down pollutants including pollen, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, fumes, and odors into nontoxic elements—without producing harmful ozone.
-
In models like the BREATHE 4500, advanced ionization technology is used. Negative and positive ions generated in the system attach to airborne particles, causing them to cluster and making them easier to be filtered or neutralized by the air conditioning system.
-
The ionizer mechanism helps reduce bacteria, viruses, dust, and even breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that cause unpleasant smells.
Features and Installation
-
These systems are typically installed in the ductwork of marine or RV air conditioning systems.
-
Models like the BREATHE 4500 and portable units are compact and easy to install, with versions requiring simple bolt or adhesive mounting and direct power connection to existing fans or air conditioners.
-
They do not require thick disposable filters; the ongoing maintenance usually involves cleaning ionizer brushes, and their operation is both energy-efficient and silent.
Health and Safety Benefits
-
Substantially reduces airborne allergens, mold spores, bacteria, and chemical odors.
-
Improves overall air quality in closed spaces such as boat cabins by neutralizing pollutants, thus offering a healthier environment and reducing aggravation of allergies or respiratory issues.
-
The technology avoids introducing secondary pollutants such as ozone, ensuring user safety.
Applications and Maintenance
-
Designed specifically for marine and RV settings, enhancing the indoor environment by addressing the typical humidity and pollution issues found in such closed environments.
-
Filters (for specific models) are highly effective micro-particle air filters, and Dometic recommends filter changes based on use intensity—ranging from every two to six months.
The Dometic Breathe Easy system represents a robust air purification upgrade for boats and RVs, beneficial for extended stays in enclosed, humid, or odor-prone environments.
