Description
The ProGuard Defender Mini air purifier is a compact, active air and surface sanitization unit designed mainly for cultivation / indoor grow-room environments to continuously reduce mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Active Sanitization (PCO + Bipolar Ionization)
The unit combines a photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) process with bipolar ionization (BPI). Under UV or catalyst activation, moisture (water molecules) in the air is converted into ionized hydrogen peroxide vapor (H₂O₂) and other reactive oxidizing species, which act to neutralize pathogens both in the air and on surfaces.
The BPI component creates positive and negative ions which cause particles (spores, microbes) to cluster (making them easier to drop out of air) and also help kill or inactivate microbes.
24/7 Continuous Operation
It is intended to run continuously—day and night—to provide ongoing sanitization without interruption.
Coverage Area
The Defender Mini is rated for up to about 250 square feet (≈ 25 m²) coverage under typical ceiling heights.
Low Maintenance / Plug & Play
It is marketed as simple to install (plug into standard mains), low maintenance, with replacement cells/filters (PCO cells) needing periodic replacement.
Safety / Compatibility
The system is claimed to be safe for people, animals, and plants (i.e. it is gentle enough to run continuously in grow rooms).
It is also claimed that it does not adversely impact terpenes, fragrances, or the potency/quality of the crops.
Intended Applications
- Small indoor grow rooms, dry rooms, greenhouses, grow tents
- Environments with high mold / mildew risk, high humidity, or dense plant populations
- Where continuous sanitization (air + surfaces) is needed to reduce pathogen load and improve disease resistance.
