Portable Air Cleaners - Winix PlasmaWave 9000

Winix PlasmaWave 9000: Overview

As Canada’s Exclusive Authorized Winix Dealer, we were the first Canadian air quality company to realize just how exceptional the PlasmaWave technology is. It took Purahome a long time to find where the Plasma technology was originally developed, but we are sure glad (and our customers also) we persisted! Your Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifiers are made and tested in South Korea. Because of the advanced quality and tremendous value in these Air Purifiers, they have become Purahome’s single-best selling product for air and water inclusive.

Winix PlasmaWave 9000: What is Plasmawave?

What is PlasmaWave Technology and what does it do for ME?

Winix PlasmaWave™ creates Hydroxyls (without producing ozone) which attack dangerous airborne pollutants such as viruses, bacteria and chemical vapours
(VOCs), as well as common household odours caused by pets, tobacco smoke and cooking.

The active component of Winix Air Purification Systems are the PlasmaWave Ions. This is a revolutionary new technology for cleaning microbial organisms and odours from the air. By creating a positive hydrogen and negative oxygen ion shower in a room, your Winix Purifiers are able to actively seek out and inactivate most airborne microbes including viruses, bacteria, mold spores, germs, fungi, and other odour causing substances. It is even effective against many of the noxious components contained in cigarette smoke. This is how it works:

Airborne allergens are naturally sought out and surrounded by the PlasmaWave (oxygen and hydrogen) ions.
 

The PlasmaWave Ions then combine with water molecules in the air and rearrange to form Hydroxyl (oxygen combined with hydrogen but negatively charged) Ions. The Hydroxyls in nature will reform water. In order to do so, they will remove a hydrogen ion from the allergen.
 

This natural process renders the allergen inactive! This is the reason why Winix PlasmaWave Purifiers are able to actively seek out and destroy microbial allergens and many odours unlike any other technology. Unlike traditional technology that relies on capturing an allergen in a filter, the active PlasmaWave will deactivate a dust mite allergen for example, right at your pillow where you are asleep!

 

Winix PlasmaWave 9000: Features

What Makes the Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifiers a Purahome First Choice Winner?

The Winix Series' advanced performance and features make it a Purahome First Choice for individuals looking for serious allergen and microbial control especially in a bedroom. These features include:

1. The PlasmaWave Difference – Not Just Another Ordinary Air Cleaner!

When several customers who agreed to a trial run to provide feedback on the Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifiers concurred that they were getting exceptional results, Purahome knew that the PlasmaWave technology was truly unique and special. PlasmaWave, a disruptive, active technology that seeks out and inactivates airborne contaminants, is especially effective against dust mite allergens, microbials and many odours.

“We have 2 dogs that sleep in our bedroom right on our bed. The air in the bedroom is now considerably better! When the dogs come in from playing outside, especially now in the Spring, they bring in an “earthy” smell. With our Winix unit, the smell is not observable. We had bought many air filters, but none have been this good!” Mrs. Margaret Hall

Winix is proud to fund research and partner with Drexel University Plasma Institute. The Drexel Plasma Institute is a multi-disciplinary research center coordinating the efforts of professors in engineering, medicine, biomedical engineering, and arts and sciences. The Institute is working on new plasma approaches to material treatment, fuel conversion, environmental control and medical applications, as well as fundamental and applied research into new and nontraditional areas of plasma and combustion science. Purahome is impressed that Institute research is also supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Air Force, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the National Science Foundation, as well as by industrial partners.
Elsewhere, Environment Canada, NASA, Oxford University, University of Guelph, University of Toronto and Queen’s University are researching plasma.

2. The TRUE HEPA® Difference – Not just another HEPA or HEPA-Type

The Winix PlasmaWave Series features TRUE HEPA filtration technology for superior airborne particle removal. Many Air Cleaners have a plastic HEPA or a HEPA-Type filter that are not capable of filtering below 0.3 microns. The TRUE HEPA in your 9000 PlasmaWave Series Purifiers is made from borosilicate and this advanced Micro-Fibre Filtration Technology will capture particulate below 0.3 microns. The 9000 Series PlasmaWave HEPA purifiers contain filters rated above HEPA standards at 99.99% efficiency at 0.3 microns which guarantees you clean, fresh air in your home.

3. Individually Tested – Not Theoretical, “It Really Works!”

Purahome has tested many air cleaners (especially those relying on ionizing and electrostatic technology) that don’t even meet 10% of their label claims! Winix individually tests each air purifier to ensure that its performance meets strict specifications, just the way Purahome likes it. This provides Purahome and its customers true peace of mind. To date, the warranty claim rate is less than 0.8% of all sales!

4. Ultra-Quiet Design – Not “Shut that Off!”

So far every Purahome customer that has been asked has said that they are able to run their Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifier on “High” speed when sleeping at night! This provides a lower particulate count and greater PlasmaWave coverage resulting in a better sleep or a complete nights sleep!

“My congestion is so bad that I wake up in the middle of the night because I cannot breathe through my nose. I then have to rely on medicine to open my passageways.

By the second night, after purchasing our Winix PlasmaWave Air cleaners, I was able to sleep through the night without waking up! I cannot remember the last time this has happened. I woke up being able to breathe through my nose. My right nostril was completely open and I only had some partial congestion in my left nostril.

The particle levels when tested were much better. Within 30 minutes, the air in our main floor was more than 50% cleaner!  The units have really helped me. We are very happy with them. We are very happy with our cleaner air!”  Mr Mottola

The Scirroco fan design helps move air efficiently and quietly. The result is an air purifier quiet enough for your bedroom even on high speed and virtually inaudible on the low fan-speed settings.

5. Advanced Controls and Display - Easy To Use & Convenient 


Every Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifier comes with advanced features that are easy to use to enhance performance.  A digital control panel allows you to visually see what the system speed, odour level, particulate level and mode of operation are. The intelligent filter life monitor precisely forecasts filter replacement based on actual usage. Your purifier even comes with a sleek remote control that fits in the top of the unit!

Digital Controls Include:

- Auto Mode
- Timer Setting
- 4-Speed Setting
- Sleep Mode
- Change Filter Alert

6. Smart Sensors

Winix PlasmaWave™ HEPA Air Cleaners are equipped with Digital Smart Sensors that automatically monitor air quality in your room. As air pollutant level increases, fan speeds will adjust automatically when your Purifier is on AUTO mode – True “SET-and-Forget” operation!

Dust and Odour Sensors
Automatically detect the presence of dust and odour in the air and adjust fan speed accordingly. It will reduce fan speed when particulate and odour are reduced.

Light Sensor 
When you run your Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifier on Sleep Mode, the Light Sensor, when the room is darkened, automatically activates Sleep mode to ensure continuously quiet and energy-efficient operation. Even the Digital Display illuminates to a lower setting! The Light Sensor then changes the mode of operation back to normal mode in the presence of light.

7. Gas & Molecular Control - Good Bye to Unwanted Odours

In addition to removing pollutant particles, such as dust and allergens, your Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifier is highly effective in removing molecular air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other gaseous chemicals and unpleasant odours. The carbon filter is covered by a Nano-Silver mesh for AntiMicrobial protection and is washable. Further, PlasmaWave naturally seeks out and reduces many organic compounds back down to carbon dioxide and water thereby reducing odours!

8. Energy Efficiency – You save money and the environment!

Your Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Purifiers are EnergyStar Rated. This means they are 35% more energy efficient when compared to standard air cleaners.

9. Sleek, Beautiful Design – and Timeless too!

Purahome and the majority of our Winix customers agree that this is the best-looking air purifier we have seen. The sleek design adapts beautifully to any home or workplace, whether contemporary, modern or traditional.

What Air Cleaning Technologies are in my Winix PlasmaWave HEPA Air Purifier?

5. PlasmaWave Technology
In the final stages of cleaning, the PlasmaWave generator emits negative oxygen and positively charged hydrogen ions that combine with airborne water vapour to form Hydroxyls. These “Nature-Cleaning” Hydroxyls shower your environment and instantly neutralize viruses and bacteria, chemical vapours, odours and gases in the air. 

4. Washable Carbon Filter
Activated granular carbon effectively adsorbs VOCs which are responsible for odours, including odours caused by cigarette smoke and cooking.

3. Nano-Silver Mesh
A shield of silver particles one billionth of a meter in size neutralizes bacteria on contact. 
Throughout history, silver has been recognized as one of the most efficient germicides known. While an antibiotic can kill as many as a half-dozen different kinds of disease organisms, silver is known to kill some 650 species of bacteria or viruses simply by coming into contact with them. Particle size has been the only limiting factor to silver's effectiveness. Now through nano-technology, a rapidly growing science of producing and utilizing particles that measure in nanometers (1 billionth of a meter), your Winix PlasmaWave HEPA purifier uses silver efficiently as an antimicrobial.
 
2. True HEPA Filter
Captures 99.99% of particles and impurities as small as 0.3 microns including smoke, dust, pollen, bacteria, mold spores, and pet dander.

1. Washable Anti-Bacterial Pre-Filter
This reusable filter collects large airborne particles such as pollen, dust, pet hair and lint, etc.

"Our daughter Mia has had a persistent nagging cough for some time. We have had to use inhalers for her. Now that we have our air cleaners, her cough is gone!
We initially purchased a Winix Plasma Purifier for her room because that was Purahome’s recommendation based on her symptoms. That night was the first night that she slept through the night!!
We then had the Abatement whole home HEPA installed the following week. When people ask me what does it now feel like in my home, I tell them like I am on a beach! My first concern was my daughter but I have respiratory challenges also, I can breathe! It’s great! I can breathe effortlessly again!! Thank you very much." Eva and Tony Tasillo
