Recap 2009 - PURE AIR

Ice Machine Testing by AC SupplyAC Supply has a Trust Only Yourself philosophy so they did their own testing.SCOPE:To determine the amount of reduction in total microbials and mold/fungus spores when exposedunder normal conditions to the Guardian Air Ice System.PROCEDURE:Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital installed Guardian Air Ice on four of their ice machines. Wetook a sample of the ice from one of the four ice machines, and ice from a machine without theGuardian Air Ice was used as a control. After letting the ice melt, we put the water into test ampules.The test ampules were then put into an incubator. The incubator warms the samples to95 degrees Fahrenheit to allow the microbials to grow and form CFU’s (colony-forming units).The incubator runs for a determined amount of time to count how many CFU’s per milliliter arein the water. The longer the incubator takes to detect CFU’s, the cleaner the water is.CONCLUSION:Based on our tests, the Guardian Air Ice definitely reduced the number of CFU’s per milliliter andmold/fungus spores. The control had a count of between 5 and 10 CFU’s per milliliter, while theice machine with the Guardian Air Ice had a count of less than 1 CFU per milliliter. As seen inthe reference chart below, if the incubator runs for more than 24 hours, the CFU per millilitercount is almost undetectable. In water drawn for the ice machine with Guardian Air Ice, the incubatorrequired 36 hours to detect less than 1 CFU per milliliter. Also at the time that we pulledthe samples out of the incubator, the control had far more floating red particles than the samplewith the Guardian Air Ice, which showed there was also a reduction in mold/fungus spores.SAMPLE HOURS CFU/MILLILITER MOLD SPORESControl w/o PHI 18.9 Between 5 and 10 Particles PresentGuardian Air Ice 35.6 Less than 1 No Particles PresentRGF Two Year Hospital StudyTest results from a two year study of RGF’s PHI at ColletonMedical Centers of Walterboro SC showed significant improvementwith their IAQ problems.
