Features 1. System Features 1. Air cleaning using electrolyzed water The combination of electrolyzed water with the Virus Washer element creates a “virus washer” function which is able to remove airborne viruses and bacteria from the air. 2. What is electrolyzed water? When tap water is electrolyzed it becomes electrolyzed water that contains electrolyzed hypochlorous acid, a chemical that has a disinfecting effect.
