Awesome Air® for Mold Prevention

Don't allow mold to grow. It is a danger to you and everyone else. When you have a mold problem, you have a problem with excess moisture. Mold does not grow on dry surfaces, only where excess moisture exists. Preventative maintenance to control mold is a must. AWESOME AIR filters were developed to reduce excess moisture to help stop mold and other moisture-borne allergens from occurring.

The American Hotel and Motel Association has reported that the repair of mold and mildew damage to wallpaper, paint, carpet and other materials caused by high humidity levels could cost hotels and motels $68 million annually. Desiccant systems can lower the humidity levels in these spaces, saving millions of dollars in unnecessary repairs.

Experts say that modem building designs may help contribute to the mold problem because they are more airtight and can trap moisture. Or, there could be a problem with a leaking pipe, faulty water heater, leaking roof, windows or outside air ventilation, etc. However, mold problems can occur regardless of age, style or type of building.

Many of these mold problems have ended up in the courtroom. Microbiological contaminants, particularly molds, account for half of all indoor air complaints (www.epa.gov/iaq). Defendants in these cases have included builders, contractors, manufacturers, architects, engineers, property managers, building owners, insurance carriers and others. AWESOME AIR could reduce your exposure to mold litigation when used as part of your routine preventative maintenance. You'll see the difference in as little as 48 hours.

Telltale signs of mold growth at home/work/school include: moist carpets or walls, stained ceiling tiles, stains or wet surfaces around return air vents, air conditioner or heater not working properly, high humidity, musty odors or health concerns related to mold problems which include serious breathing difficulties, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, memory and hearing loss and bleeding in the lungs. Serious, established mold problems are a result of neglect of moisture problems and need professional clean-up crews. Vigilance is necessary to prevent these situations.

Never turn off your air conditioner or heater for long periods of time, especially in humid areas and always use AWESOME AIR to ensure better air quality. Remember that molds can take hold within a few hours.

AWESOME AIR is a technologically advanced, all natural desiccant that is easy to use. It works in conjunction with your existing air conditioning and heating system. Just place the AWESOME AIR filter behind your existing dust filter in the air return.

Multiple benefits are derived when using AWESOME AIR. When excess moisture is removed, the air becomes dryer. Dryer air feels cooler and more comfortable, so thermostats can be adjusted. Every degree you raise the thermostat saves up to 7 percent on energy costs according to TXU, a large power company in Texas. Example: Moving your thermostat up 3 degrees would result in a 21 percent savings on your cooling bill. People tell us the product sounds "too good to be true." That's because there is no other product on the market like it. For better indoor air quality and energy conservation, use AWESOME AIR.
