Advanced Air Cleaning for Home and Office
Perfect 16 Whole House Air Purifier
Compact Particulate, Chemical and Odor Control
Specially formulated gas phase filter media make IQAir GC and GCX units perfectly suited to take control of gaseous contaminants in residential, commercial or medical environments.
Just like a professional gas mask, IQAir maximizes filter efficiency for different gases and odors by offering the right filter cartridge. Since different gaseous contaminants can only
be effectively removed with specialized gas phase media, the IQAir GC and GCX Series are available in a range of special gas phase media configurations.
And while gas and odor control is a particular strength of these systems, the GC Series also offers excellent filtration efficiency for particles.
Features of the IQAir GC and GCX Series

Compared to the GC Series the GCX Series features nearly 75% more filtration media and as a result provides about 20% more airflow and longer filter service life.
IQAir GC and GCX Gas Phase Filter Cartridge Options
A broad range of gas phase filter cartridges provides customized control over almost any gaseous pollutant or odor problem. Currently there are four specialized gas phase media configurations available:
| Model | Gas Phase Control for | Efficiency for Particles |
| MultiGas | wide spectrum of gases | > 99% at 0.3 µm |
| VOC | volatile organic compounds | |
| Chemisorber | formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide |
|
| AM | ammonia and amines |
Thanks to its selectable cartridges, the IQAir GC series is able to meet almost any moderate gas phase removal need in residential or commercial environments.
In applications with higher concentrations or where longer filter life is desired GCX Series units should be considered.
Relative Effectiveness of Types of Activated Carbon
For best results, a specific carbon blend should be utilized to match the offending vapors in the air. For most home applications, we prefer the MultiGas version of the
gas phase media because it covers a wide spectrum of odors and chemicals. If there is a heavy concentration of a known contaminant one of the other formulations
may be best. These cartridges are interchangeable, making it possible to replace them with a different blend if your situation changes in the future.

IQAir MultiGas GC and MultiGas GCX
The GC MultiGas provides the most comprehensive gas and chemical filtration available in a residential air purifier. It is perfect for filtering strong household odors,
and it is the #1 recommended gas and chemical filtration air purifier for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and for Smoke Removal.
In most cases, the MultiGas GC or GCX is the best choice for home use since its carbon blend absorbs the widest range of chemical vapors. It contains both the VOC and Chemisorber absorption media.
The GC and GCX units also include a HEPA pre-filter that will remove particulates at 99% efficiency at a 0.3 micron level, making them capable of excellent filtration of particles such as dust, dander,
pollen, and mold.

Note: The MultiGas GC is recommended for control of wide range of gaseous organic and inorganic chemicals, however, if you have a specific chemical problem such as formaldehyde off-gassing, you may want to consider one of the other configurations. Please call us if you need help in choosing between the MultiGas, VOC, Chemisorber, or AM units.
Summary of IQAir GC and GCX Series Features and Benefits
Professional Control of Gaseous Contaminants and Odors
The IQAir GC Series is a specialized line of advanced
air cleaning devices that meets almost any gas phase
removal need in residental, commercial or medical
environments. Since different gaseous contaminants
can only be effectively removed with specialized gas
phase media, the IQAir GC Series is available in four
gas phase media configurations: VOC, Chemisorber,
MultiGas and AM.
Gas Cartridge Technology
The IQAir GC Series uses four filter cartridges to
hold up to 17 lbs. (7.7 kg) of gas phase media. The
cylindrical shape of these cartridges allows for
optimum contact between the air and the gas
phase media, while offering low air flow restriction.
The cartridges are very user friendly and can be
replaced in a matter of minutes.
High-Efficiency Particulate Filtration
The GC gaseous filtration process is complemented by
two particle filtration stages, one before and one after
the gas phase cartridges. This increases the service life
of the gas phase media by preventing its pores from
clogging. It also results in a total system filtration
efficiency for particles of 99% at 0.3 μm.
Advanced Controls
The IQAir control panel allows you to select from six
fan speed settings. A two-line LCD displays the
corresponding air delivery rate at each speed setting.
A sophisticated filter life monitoring system calculates
the remaining life of each individual filter. An
integrated timer allows you to program the unit for
automatic operation. For added convenience, the GC
Series also come with a remote control.
