Re: RGF's *Guardian Air HVAC Duct Indoor Air Sanitation Question

[Guest guest]

Ron,

Shacklee has a website at:

http://www.shaklee.net/pws/library/products/as_3000_compchart.pdf

The Shaklee site has a number of test studies available.

EcoQuest has a website at:

http://www.tryfreshair.com/acaciaservices

If you scroll down to the fourth line at " The Science of Fresh Air "

there are a number of links for further information. The graphical

summary of the Kansas State study is on last line. I now see the

basis for saying mold will be killed.... Stachybotrys chartarum is

reported as being reducible by 98% over 24 hours..

On the Science page there is a link to an explanation of the PCO

generator. Just hit on the honeycomb structure on the right side.

In answer to your question on what did Shacklee and Ecoquest receive

from RGF. The two Shaklee products are shown in their web site.

In 2004 Ecoquest I had been told purchased the home products division

of RGF. Here's that story. RGF which happens to be the initials of

the founder [ G Fink, a nuclear engineer] who started the

comoamy probably in the 1970's to design safe nuclear sterilizing

facilities for the food preparation industry. RGF started out to

serve the food industry. Using nuclear isotopes to generate

sterilizing rays was an uphill fight. The engineers became servents

of the food indudtry... They knew what was needed by the industry.

Consequestly it was an easy shift to use ozone and ozonated water to

sterialize meat and poultry plants known as serious disease centers.

Their ozonated water systems soon became reasily used throughout the

industry. RGF developed a close relationship with the USDA. Their

slaughterhouse system designed to control E-Coli endeared them to

both the USDA and the food industry and brought them into contact

with the major universities having schools of agriculture. From

there they began projects with the Florida citrus industry designing

million dollar facilities to clean and sterilize the skins of

citrus. All along the products designed by RGF were to support

million dollar RGF designed facilities. Then in the 1980's RGF

started to redesign their products around the UV bulb mounted in a

catalytic reactor.

Since the 1990's RGF developed a number of smaller appliances

suitable for the home. However by 2002 they had a number of small

products but little sales experience to the home market. They had a

contract to design a device for Shacklee to manufacture. However

they had a number of small devices requiring a degree of marketing

expertise. They found Ecoquest and it has been said sold/licensed

their small products to the EcoQuest company. The products included

the Spectrum containing an 8 inch uv bulb vertically mounted within a

catalytic grid behind an aluminum reflector. It was a work of art,

beautiful, functional and requiring no maintainance other than to

replace the bulb once every three years. There were other products

for the traveler on the go suitable to disinfect an average room

within a few hours or mounted in a vehicle cabin. It is

transportable and can either be plugged in the automobile cigarette

lighter or a wall socket with an intelligent power supply able to use

either 110 or 220 voltage.

Also EcoQuest received the right to sell RGF commercial sized

products designed for restaurants, food storage facilities, places

generating obnoxious odors from sewer gas, decaying matter, or auto

fumes. A large appliance to reduce the ethylene gases produced in

fruit and produce storage rooms will slows enough to increase shelf

life by 30%.

Ron, if you wish to see a display of RGF equipment there in Jupiter

you might visit the Molto Bene Restaurant at 17370 Alt. A1A at unit

401. The location should be about 5.5 miles east of your new address.

It was in 2003 they outfitted their facility with air duct devices,

counter top PHX purifiers at the bar area, an industrial purifier to

remove dust, airborn grease, smoke from the kitchen, a tray food

sanitizer to sterilize portioned fish and meat prepared in advance of

cooking. The process will entend shelf life in the cooler by 30%. A

water ozinator is connected at the sinks where green salads are

prepared. All food that requires rinsing is washed at the ozinator.

The business is owned by Rick and Orsi and has been rated as

one of the cleanest restaurants in the state. You might visit and ask

Rick for a tour of the RGF equipment.
