A
PPLICATIONS FOR THE
Primary Uses
The primary uses for your DefendAir HEPA 500 are:
Other uses include fire damage restoration, dust control, odor control and sewage
remediation. To learn more about these, contact a Dri-Eaz Technical Specialist at 800-
575-5152.
Use for Water Damage
In a standard Category 1 water damage situation, place the DefendAir HEPA 500 in
the middle of the affected area. Utilize airmovers to lift particles into the air. The HEPA
500 filters the air in the affected area to reduce particle levels during the restoration
process.
Mold Remediation
In most cases, the remediation process requires containment of the affected area.
Containment prevents the spread of mold spores and other bioaerosols. Only a pro-
fessional with specialized training in remediation and containment techniques should
use the HEPA 500 (or any negative air machine) for remediation. For more information
about proper remediation techniques, consult the IICRC S520: The Standard and
Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation. You can get a copy and learn
more through the IICRC at (360) 693-5675. You can also contact the Dri-Eaz
Education Department for technical advice or to learn more about educational opportu-
nities at 800-575-5152.
Specialized Features
Daisy-chain capability
Dri-Eaz designed the HEPA 500 for optimal versatility. You can interconnect up to
three units to create a maximum of 500, 1000, or 1500 CFM using the auxiliary outlet
on the unit's control panel. You can also daisy chain the units in a stacked position
(see "multi-positional" in this section).
Removable intake panel for remediation professionals
The DefendAir HEPA 500 has a specialized feature to assist containment (Figure 6).
There's a removable panel on the intake side of the unit. Lift the 8 latches to release

• Mold remediation (including creating a negative air environment)
Formally trained remediation professionals
Run the HEPA 500 as a negative air machine without interruption for the
duration of every remediation job. The HEPA 500 filters 99.97% of particles
0.3 microns and larger, such as mold spores and fungi.
When using the HEPA 500 in a containment area, turn off all sources of
power to open combustion appliances such as fireplaces, boilers, furnaces,
water heaters and HVAC systems to avoid the risk of backdrafting deadly
carbon monoxide fumes.
If the Filter Change Light illuminates during the remediation process, imme-
diately change the HEPA filter. See "Changing Filters" and "Maintenance"
for more information.
To create a negative air environment
You can install the DefendAir HEPA 500 outside a containment area to draw
air out of an affected area. (see "Specialized Features,
panel for remediation professionals).
