Re: Is this Real? It helps with cleaning air inside homes.

[Guest guest]

Ann,

Here is what the EPA label, which states what the law is, says

about Benefect Biocide AD. It is the only one of their products

approved for forced air ducting. None of the others are legally

allowed to used. Also as you will see below, they say to turn off

the blower while using it. But the only way it will work by placing it

by the air intake is with the blower running.

* " 3.6 Returning the System to Operation following

Application Fans and blowers in the section of duct being

treated must be turned off during application of

BENEFECT® BIOCIDE AD. If the system cannot be shut

down, the section of duct being treated must be isolated

until treatment is complete. This will prevent the spray of

fog from being blown away form the surface that is being

treated.

* Do not attempt to use the system fan or blower to carry

BENEFECT® BIOCIDE AD to the surfaces in the duct

system. Such a practice will not result in uniform application

of the product to the surfaces being treated and will lead to

ineffective control. This should never be attempted. "

When you read the rest of the label it does not sound as " safe " or

as innocuous as the marketing promotion does. The good new is

they have an EPA Registration number and official label to inform

us. But we must read the label before making a decision.

If this Thyme based product is so safe, why does EPA require all

those protections?

Hi all.

My accupunturist gave me this brochure today. They use this product

and swear by it. It is Benefect and it is something you put in your air

intake and it supposed to help with fungi and bacteria and such and

approved by EPA. I don't know if this is garbage so that is why I wanted

to ask if anyone knows about it. I don't think anything this easy could

really clean the air. I guess it is all natural and is made from Thyme.

Anyway I appreciate any info on this.

Ann

Carl,

It is a bit bizarre that you can't run the blower while treating with this,

unless they just intended for it to be used for spot cleaning areas of ducting

or parts of the air cleaner you can access.

Ann is fortunate that she has someone like you to check in with. I know what it

is like when you are ill and foggy headed, you can easily wind up not checking

out everything that you need to and this sounds like something one should not

mess around with. But you might think the people selling this would know more

about it?

Thanks for all that you do for us,

Sam

An EPA number or registeration does not mean that the product is safe. Such

products, like pesticides, contain inert ingredients that have never been tested

for safety. Be careful of what you purchase and use.
