four high tech electrodes instead of the standard two, and redesigned the ionization proc-

ces utilizing silver, copper impregnated carbon fiber electrodes, which is far more efficient

with higher efficacy than the standard two metal electrodes used by other bi-polar com-

petitors. Our R&D engineers also created an “ion cannon” by alternating the current in a

grounded tube, which actually propels the ions into the HVAC plenum or ducts. This cost

Food Safety and IAQ Opportunity

Washington (CNN) -- Despite sweeping reform of food
safety laws intended to make what we eat less dan-
gerous, the number of Americans falling ill or dying
from contaminated food has increased 44% in the
past two years alone, according to a report released
Wednesday. Approximately 48 million people get sick
from eating tainted food each year, according to the U.S.
Public Interest Research Group, arguing more must be done to protect Americans from
unsafe food.

Federal laws aimed at reducing food contamination are now in place and being strictly enforced. In general, the Federal
laws require every food processor to reduce bacteria and virus levels in their plant. A very easy and relatively low-cost way
to do that is to install a REME-ATS air treatment system. It is water resistant, can be pressure cleaned, and is very easy to
install. Just screw it to the wall and plug or hardwire it in!
Plusses
• There are thousands of food processors throughout the United States. Within one mile of our plant in Palm Beach

County, Florida, we have five – beef, chicken, fish, pasta and baked goods. (Note: no pork, we are too close to Boca)!
• An average plant is 20,000 sq. ft. and will need about 20 ATS units at about $4,000+ each. Also, the offices always smell,

so you will get Guardian Air sales for each HVAC zone (usually four), plus lots of PIPs for problem areas.
• We have undisputable validation and over 27 years of experience in food safety using our PHI technology.
• This is a great way to diversify and increase sales and profit.
• Other IAQ opportunites in large open office / warehouse applications.

Hydro-Peroxide for Indoor Air Quality!

A new Advanced Oxidation Technology utilizing “Ionized Hydro-Peroxide”

is brought to the HVAC industry for indoor Air Quality!

at a relatively low dosage. A look at Table 1 of oxidizing agents
shows ozone as number 3, just below fluorine and the hydroxyl
radical, which are far too dangerous to consider.

Chlorine (CL) is a chemical that creates a byproduct of tri-
halomethanes that are known carcinogens linked to cancer in
humans. Oxygen (O2) is good, but by raising oxygen levels,
fire hazards are created.

Hydroxyl radicals are almost theoretical in that they are so re-

of the catalyst where they are made. They can be difficult to
control, and accordingly are not always practical to use for in-
door air treatment systems.

Ozone was discovered in the late 1800s in France and has
been used extensively for water and food purification. Unlike
America, Europe prefers ozone over chlorine for water purifi-
cation. In the 1980s, ozone began to appear in air purification
primarily as a way to destroy various odors including smoke.

How to Sell IAQ Products
and Services Using RGF’s
Rapid Recovery Unit

RGF’s Rapid Recovery Unit (RRU) is a remediation product that uses RGF’s PHI technology to quickly reduce microbes
and odors by using a much higher concentration of Hydro-Peroxides Plasma than our standard Guardian Air Unit. This al-
lows users to offer remediation services for IAQ problems and demo PHI technology to end users interested in purchas-
ing.

A key factor in how to promote the RRU system is operating cost. The RRU is available for approximately $1,700 and has
a cell life of 10,000 hours, putting the operating cost per hour of use at only $0.17. This low operating cost means the ma-
chine has the potential to generate huge profit margins, as long as you find ways to use it.

Below we will outline some of the ways the RRU can be used to this end:
1. Performing remediation service (up to $100/hour revenue - $0.17+ labor/hour cost)
The RRU can be used to reduce one-time problems and be billed at an hourly rate for the service. Many
remediation professionals charge $100 per hour and more for the service. The RRU can treat a hotel room
(10x15x10) in about one hour depending on the strength of the odors. They are used by the major hotel and
restaurant chains worldwide.

One point to keep in mind is that any kind of ongoing odor will come back after you have finished treatment.
The RRU is designed to reduce the airborne odor molecules, but you have to eliminate the source of the odor.

The RRU will eliminate the following odors: pets, mold, smoke, floods, heating oil, apartment turnover, paint,
solvents, VOCs, cooking, urine, feces, dead animals, tobacco and cleaning fluids.

2. Adding value with “Duct Sanitation” along with your standard duct cleaning
Duct cleaning works on the physical particles that settle in the duct. Duct sanitation works on the microbes,
mold spores and other contaminants that can be found in old ducts. Using the RRU to add duct sanitation to
your current duct cleaning business can differentiate you from the competition, or can be used with an upsell
model to generate more revenue.

Example:
a.“Would you like to add duct sanitation to your cleaning today for only $50?”

b.“We offer a duct cleaning and sanitation for the same price, the competition only does cleaning.

c.The RRU will eliminate chemical odors if you use chemicals for cleaning drip pans, coils or air ducts.

3. Demonstrating PHI Technology
Whether you are in a home for an HVAC, duct cleaning or plumbing lead, you can demo the technology and
use it to sell Guardian Air units. Homeowners don’t know what their house smells like; the nose adjusts to its
surroundings over time. By running the RRU units for a customer, you are demonstrating two things. One,
you show how the PHI process can actually make a noticeable difference in the air quality. Two, once you
turn off the RRU, the normal household smells will start to creep back in, and this time the homeowner will
notice them because their nose has adjusted to the new purified air. Here are a few ways to perform the demo:

11

a. Having your technicians put on shoe covers and walk on paper to keep your customer’s house clean, purifying their
air for free when you perform an equipment service is another way to show that you care about your customer’s envi
ronment, and you set yourself apart from the competition. With the RRU’s low operating cost, you could demo it at
thousands of houses, and if you sold only five (5) more Guardian Air units, it pays for itself.

b. If you are concerned about purifying the air without asking your customer, you can use the RRU as a great way to
start talking about IAQ.

“We are offering a free air purification service now if you’re interested. This brochure shows how the
technology works, and I can purify all the air in your home while I’m here. We also offer the same tech-
nology installed so you can get the benefits every day.”

Once your technicians and sales people are well versed in basic IAQ sales and concepts, adding something like the RRU to
their sales process can be a strong tool to help close the sale. With its low operating cost and many uses, the RRU can be
another way your company increases revenue from Indoor Air Quality.

For more ideas or to talk about some specific ways to build the RRU into your IAQ sales process, please contact your RGF
Representative.
