UV-C + PCO inside your HVAC system
How the Platinum PURE UV PCO Air Purifier Works
The Platinum PURE is designed for whole-house odor and VOC reduction using ultra-violet light type-C and advanced PCO technology. This central UV-C system creates a powerful combination designed for airborne microbial and germicidal control, which helps to reduce and/or eliminate odors, bacteria, viruses, mold, and VOCs.
Neutralize volatile organic compounds with an air purifier that does not produce ozone or harmful by-products.
The Platinum PURE is positioned in the HVAC system to also disinfect the coils of the HVAC system, air system interior, and air stream. This is only one of the reasons why regular furnace UV systems underperform compared to the Platinum PURE air purifier system.
What it does in your HVAC system
More Than a Furnace UV Light
The Platinum PURE kills germs by destroying their DNA and preventing them from reproducing. It is more than just a UV light; it’s the catalyst in your home to:
- Help reduce or kill airborne bacteria, viruses, and allergens, such as microscopic mold, that circulate in the HVAC system
- Improve indoor air quality and freshen the air
- Create a cleaner central air system
- Provide possible maintenance and energy savings from clean A-coils (less restriction on airflow)
- Provide chemical-free disinfection without producing ozone
- Remove or reduce odors and decompose VOCs
- Operate safely and effectively

Odors, VOCs, and PCO
Odor and VOC Control That Goes Beyond Filtration
Odors, smoke, germs, mold, and all types of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have one thing in common: the majority are too small to be captured in an air filter. Platinum PURE’s germicidal UV-C light, activated carbon, and PCO combination is the solution for odor control and disinfection.
The common household odors from pets, foods, cooking, garbage, paint, cleaning supplies, musty damp odors, and even bathroom or diaper smells are drawn inside the HVAC system and processed by the Platinum PURE air purifier system, effectively eliminating these issues.
PCO Purification With 3 Times More Surface Area
The Platinum PURE air purifier uses three panels of activated carbon cells, providing three times more air purifying power than typical photocatalytic air purifiers for truly whole-house effectiveness. Germicidal UV light-activated carbon capture, and the PCO carbon-titanium dioxide (C/TiO2) catalytic process freshens all air flowing through your home, working silently in the background, out of sight, and out of mind.

Already own a Platinum PURE?
Order replacement lamps from our online store, or have one of our qualified technicians do the replacement for you, since UV-C light is dangerous to skin and eyes. Lamps and parts ship anywhere in North America.
Replacing a Platinum Carbon UV or Platinum PCO?
The Platinum PURE replaced them: the Platinum PCO came first, then the Platinum Carbon UV, and now the PURE. Keeping yours running? The PCO and the Carbon UV share one replacement lamp; the PURE takes a different one.
Cleaner coils, cleaner air
Purify Air and Keep Your A-Coil Clean
HVAC coils, or A-coils, collect moisture from the air conditioning system, and it is very common for them to accumulate bacteria and mold growth. Platinum PURE’s UV light inhibits mold growth in the system, which helps to prevent bacteria and mold from spreading throughout the air. This also saves long-term energy and maintenance costs because the A-coil is not restricted, allowing air to pass through the system efficiently.
Airborne toxins stand no chance against Platinum PURE’s powerful UV wavelengths, which help to reduce and eliminate airborne bacteria and viruses in the air your system moves through every room.
Lab tests
Platinum PURE Is Tested to Perform
UV-C inactivation results
Tested to inactivate microbes, it’s confirmed that the Platinum PURE’s UV-C light combined with the titanium dioxide-infused activated carbon PCO cells reduces high concentrations of VOCs found in residential and commercial buildings. This technology is also powerful in applications including hospitals, hotels, offices, and schools.
Typical tests reveal that UV-C light inactivation results were:
- 98.85% Bacteria (S. epidermidis)
- 99.03% Virus (MS2 coliphage)
- 78.8% Mold (A. niger)
- 99.9% Odors (VOCs)
Lab test: SARS-CoV-2
Innovative Bioanalysis, a CAP, CLIA, and AABB-certified laboratory in the USA, tested the Platinum PURE and concluded that it inactivates >99.99% of SARS-CoV-2 virus in 2 seconds or less.
Tests were performed in conditions designed to exceed probable real-world scenarios. Airspeed across the air purifier was 75% higher than typical, and concentrations of the virus far exceeded the probability of the natural occurrence of the virus on a surface.
Questions
Platinum PURE UV Air Purifier FAQ
Where can I purchase a replacement lamp (bulb) for the Platinum PURE Air Purifier System?
You can purchase replacement lamps from Platinum Air Care for pick-up or mail delivery. However, because UV-C light is dangerous to skin and eyes, it is recommended that our qualified technicians do the replacement for you.
Why does UV light kill germs?
UV-C light (the frequency used in germicidal UV lights) kills germs by disrupting their DNA, which prevents them from reproducing, effectively killing them. In nature, this frequency of light is filtered out by the Earth’s atmosphere, so microbes have no defense against it.
Is UV light safe for children and pets?
When a UV light is installed in a central air system, the germ-killing effect takes place inside the air system and is limited to that area. There is no danger to any living thing in the home except microbes that are carried by air into the central air system.
Is it OK to look at the UV light?
Never look at the UV light when it is lit. UV-C light can give your eyes a painful “sunburn.” Our technicians unplug or disconnect the unit to work on it.
Is reflected or distant UV-C light dangerous? Should people with glaucoma and similar eye conditions be concerned about indirect UV-C light (blue glow) from Platinum PURE UV?
The effect of UV-C light falls off quickly with distance because it is filtered by the atmosphere (air), which is why microorganisms have no defense against it. One should always avoid close direct exposure to skin and eyes, but when the Platinum PURE is properly installed in the HVAC system, reflected UV-C light at a distance is not noticeable and contained safely.
Our air system is not running, so why is the UV light still on? Is the light on 24 hours a day, or only when the blower is on? Does the UV light stay on when I run my heater?
These products are intended to be on 24 hours a day. Mold growth doesn’t stop when the blower is off, and cycling the UV light on and off would shorten the life of the UV lamp.
Will a UV light system kill mold in the walls?
No. UV-C germicidal irradiation can only kill microbes on surfaces that the light shines on directly (surface kill) or that pass by in the air stream (airborne kill).
How can we purify the air when the AC or heater is not on? If neither my furnace nor AC is running, does the Platinum PURE still purify the air?
Running the air system in “fan” mode will cycle air through the home without turning on the AC or heater. Many programmable thermostats have a setting for this as well.
Which system is best for removing odors?
It is strongly recommended that you consider the Platinum PURE air purifier system for odors in general. It is specifically designed to fight volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are the source of most household and chemical odors.
Is UV light radioactive? Will radiation spread into my home?
No. All light is a type of radiation, but not a dangerous kind. UV light kills germs by giving them an intense “sunburn,” and it only affects things it shines on directly. Nothing spreads into the home except clean air.
Is it OK to look at the UV light with sunglasses?
No. Although UV-C light will not pass through plastic or ordinary glass, there is still the risk to exposed skin. UV should not be visible light to the naked eye. Always turn off the light or disconnect power to service the system.
Can UV light reduce radon in your home?
No. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into your home from the ground below. It is not the product of any volatile organic compound (VOC) or biological contaminant, so UV-C light has no effect on it.
Do HVAC UV lights produce ozone?
Other furnace photocatalyst UV systems, and UV systems in general, may differ. The Platinum PURE is validated to produce zero ozone and is perfectly safe.
Do you recommend other air purifiers alongside the Platinum PURE?
The Platinum PURE furnace air purifier is excellent for all of the points above; however, it does not collect or remove particulates. For particles, the Platinum TrueHEPA filter system is recommended for furnace installation, and the MedicAir® Pro does both jobs, HEPA filtration and UV-C with PCO, in one portable cabinet.
How long does it take for the UV light to kill mold?
The germ-killing effect starts immediately, with about 90% of surface microbes sterilized within the first few minutes, and about 99.99% sterilized after the first 24 hours.
