FAQ

YES, biofiltration is a completely natural processes that has been producing clean air and oxygen on our planet for millions of years. Not only is it perfectly safe for your family, its safer for the environment because it produces zero waste for landfills. Living Atmosphere Control System is simply a more efficient form of biofiltration, so it offers you even more benefits.

Yes, Bio-filtration provides more air benefits than HEPA filtration. In addition to removing the same compounds from the air as HEPA filters, our purifiers also increase oxygen levels, lower CO2 levels, and balance air humidity so you can breathe easier. Our products main benefit over HEPA systems is the units operation is not dependant on having a clean filter installed. Living Atmosphere Control System LACS will provide you with ongoing benefits and uses plants and water instead of filters. Our system just needs to be topped up with water like a humidifer, we offer you more air benefits with less maintenance. ( we also replace the need for a humidifier because our products balance air humidity.)

Yes, our products are designed to support the growth of lush healthy plants. Our built-in water and artificial lighting systems have programmable settings for you to simulate whatever conditions are needed for different plant species. Our system will make you look like a professional gardener so you can impress everyone with your lush indoor air purifiers.

During our tests we have found that indoor air quality is always worse than outdoor air quality. There is a lot of factors to consider that contribute to the quality of your breathing air. The most important factors to consider are oxygen and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) levels, and air humidity. An imbalance in these factors can affect your health and cause uncomfortable breathing conditions. Dry eyes, nose, skin and morning nasal congestion are all tell tale signs your air quality is out of balance.

Volatile Organic Compounds are gases emitted from solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands. Examples include: paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials and furnishings, office equipment such as copiers and printers, correction fluids and carbonless copy paper, graphics and craft materials including glues and adhesives, permanent markers, and photographic solutions. Organic chemicals are widely used as ingredients in household products. Paints, varnishes, and wax all contain organic solvents, as do many cleaning, disinfecting, cosmetic, degreasing, and hobby products. Fuels are made up of organic chemicals. All of these products can release organic compounds while you are using them, and even when they are stored.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature and has a strong odor. It is found in resins used in the manufacture of composite wood products like hardwood plywood, particleboard, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), and other building materials and insulation. Formaldehyde is also found in tobacco smoke. even at low levels, formaldehyde can be dangerous – especially for children and particularly sensitive individuals. One of the ways to protect yourself day in and day out is to maximize the amount of clean air you breathe. Our natural purifiers are eliminate formaldehydes from the air and provide over all healthier air quality indoors.

No, HEPA filters reduce air pollution but they do not help critical factors like oxygen, CO2, or air humidity levels. Air is like water and can be full of things too small for you to see or smell. HEPA filters are like running dirty water through a coffee filter, the filter will catch some of the contaminants but doesn’t completely purify the water. Our patented purification process can purify the air back to a “fresh” state by reducing CO2 and increasing Oxygen levels.

Our system can be filled up with water and left alone for up to two weeks to maintain itself and clean the air. The watering system also has a backup power supply (4 AA batteries), so if the power to the unit gets interrupted it will still continue to water the plants. Internal memory will not be erased from power loss, watering will continue from backup power supply as scheduled until the power returns to the unit.

Our purifiers do need to be filled up with water every 7-14 days depending on the watering schedule. They also require access to a standard outlet, and some setup including setting the lighting and watering schedules. After that all you need to do is keep the unit topped up with water and connected to a power source.
