Abatement CAP600 - CAP1200 Whole Home HEPA Air Purifier Series
Overview
How do the Abatement CAP600 & the CAP1200 HEPA Purifier Models Differ?
The Abatement CAP Series all have the exact same aluminum cabinet, German motor, & airflow. The difference is in the filter. The CAP600 series has 2-stage prefiltration and certified HEPA filters. Where the CAP1200 series has a 3-stage prefiltration and certified HEPA filters.
What's the Difference Between the UV bulb and the UVP bulb?
The Abatement UV bulb uses 1 frequency of light to help deactivate microbials such as mould and bacteria. The Abatement UVP (P for photolytic) uses 2 frequencies of light to both help reduce odours and sanitize the AC coils on top of reducing microbials such as mould and bacteria.

UV Technology
The Abatement UV lamps offer germicidal UV disinfection. The Abatement CAP-UV HEPA air purifiers perform better than HEPA-only cleaners because they offer greater microbial reduction.
UV Plus Technology
The Abatement “UV Plus” is a unique technology. UV Plus lamps combine germicidal UV disinfection with an in-duct oxidation reaction called “photolysis”. The Abatement CAP-UVP air purifiers perform better than HEPA-only cleaners because they better neutralize common household odours, and offer greater microbial reduction, especially in air conditioning coils.

Technology
How does the Abatement CAP600 OR the CAP1200 HEPA Air Purifier clean the air in your home?
The Abatement CAP600 OR CAP 1200 Series HEPA air purifiers use advanced and efficient air cleaning technology. Each Abatement CAP whole home air system features:
1. Advanced Fibre-Trapper High-Capacity Prefilter
Compared to fibreglass panel filters, these filters last longer because they have a 5 times greater dirt holding capacity. With a MERV 4 rating, they also have a higher particle arrestance as per ASHRAE 52-76, so they extend the life of the more costly subsequent filters and they are also biodegradeable – GO GREEN!
- Filter life: 6 months based on the air purifier being on all the time.
2. (CAP600) Pleated Vapor-Lock Carbon/Particulate Filter
2. (CAP1200) H502 Particulate Filter 
Two inch pleated prefilter protects the Vapor-Lock filter and HEPA filter while trapping visible particulate. With a MERV 8 rating, this second stage particulate filter protects your health and extends the life of the more costly subsequent filters.
- Filter life: 6 months based on the air purifier being on all the time.
Vapor-Lock® activated carbon filters are dual function – they filter fine particulate (MERV 7) and capture airborne gases, VOCs, and odours. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are often generated by off-gassing from carpets, composite wood furniture, and other materials in the home. Vapor-Lock® filters capture gases and odours via adsorption, a process whereby the gaseous molecules of the contaminants are attracted and chemically bound to the surface of the carbon. The effectiveness and life of the Vapor-Lock® carbon filter is determined by the concentration of gases and odours in the home.
- Filter life: 6 months based on the air purifier being on all the time.
3. (CAP1200) Pleated Vapor-Lock Carbon/Particulate Filter
Vapor-Lock® activated carbon filters are dual function – they filter fine particulate (MERV 8 in the CAP1200) and capture airborne gases, VOCs, and odours. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are often generated by off-gassing from carpets, composite wood furniture, and other materials in the home. Vapor-Lock® filters capture gases and odours via adsorption, a process whereby the gaseous molecules of the contaminants are attracted and chemically bound to the surface of the carbon. The effectiveness and life of the Vapor-Lock® carbon filter is determined by the concentration of gases and odours in the home.
- Filter life: 1 year based on the air purifier being on all the time.
3. HEPA Filtration 
The 99.97% Type A HEPA Filters are 100% tested and certified to IEST-RP-CC001.3. Your HEPA filters are certified at 1000 cfm of airflow which is more than the airflow through the CAP Series. The certification photo shows an Abatement HEPA filter tested at 99.996% efficiency at 1000 cfm! This guarantees you true HEPA performance and peace of mind.
- Filter life: 2 – 3 years based on the air purifier being on all the time.
4. Optional UV or UVP Photolysis Lamp
The UVP bulb is brilliantly placed inside the cylindrical HEPA, where the air is already pre-cleaned. This system provides better UVP performance. With an output of 33 microwatts/square centimeter, measured 1 metre away, the UV effectively reduces microbes. Unlike germicidal UV systems, our UV Plus technology does not need a clear line of sight exposure of the microbial organism to the lamp. Consequently, better performance is assured. This technology employs a second frequency of light that splits oxygen in order to create short-term ozone (short-term because it reverts back into oxygen in seconds). This process continues in your duct work and air conditioning coils to break down airborne microbes, gases, and odors through good chemistry (an oxidation process called photolysis). Abatement UVP systems are designed to generate 0.10 to 0.20 ppm of ozone in the purifier so that, when measured with duct testing only 10 feet downstream, the concentration is reduced to 0.01 ppm or less. This is well below 0.05 ppm or typical outdoor levels. You can feel confident in Purahome’s research into this product. Our scientific research indicates that the Abatement CAP600 OR the CAP1200 with UVP will improve your health.
- Bulb life: 1 year based on the air purifier being on all the time.
How to Improve Your Air Quality
As is the case with any whole home air cleaner installation, best results are achieved with the furnace fan running, especially when a family member has a greater need for improved air quality. It is the customer’s choice whether to run the furnace fan 100% of the time or not (hydro costs will go up but air quality will be better).
Filter Life
The prefilter and VOC filter should be replaced approximately every 6 months. An annual filter kit is available to make filter changes easier. The HEPA air filter is typically replaced every 2 to 3 years. Purahome will gladly call you to remind you when your filters are due to ensure your indoor air quality remains as healthy as possible.
Warranty
Purahome and Abatement provide an industry-best warranty of 10 years on the CAP600 OR CAP1200 Series HEPA Air Purifier’s motor. All consumables, filters are exempt from this warranty.

Huge difference and immediate reliefI have been suffering with allergies for ever and finally, after installing the Abatement air cleaner, I have relief. It has been awesome and now I can't imagine life without it. When we go visit friends and family, we notice the difference right away in the air quality in their homes. I wish we would have done this sooner. We love our Aquaspace water too! Thanks Purahome.
