AMERICAN STANDARD ACCUCLEAN WHOLE-HOME
AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM
Cleaner air starts with better airflow. American Standard follows that philosophy with AccuClean, its whole-
home air filtration system that is capable of removing 99.98 percent of airborne particulates and allergens
(down to 0.1 microns), while avoiding the pressure drop that can lower airflow and efficiency. The unit’s
reusable filter is a reported 100 times more effective than a standard one-inch throwaway version, and eight
times more efficient than the best high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) room appliance.
Meanwhile, the unit’s ozone output is 10 times less than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s
recommended standard, bringing it down to a household total that matches what is normally in the
environment.
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) recently awarded
AccuClean with its Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification (AAFC). To receive the certification, AccuClean was
independently tested and required to meet benchmark standards as prescribed by ASL and AAFA, based on
industry-leading medical and scientific research in health issues and indoor air pollution.
