The Respicaire NPI i-Guard™ uses advanced needlepoint bi-polar ionization technology to improve your indoor air quality. This self-cleansing system works in both residential and commercial ducted applications. The unit creates positive and negative ions through its unique “Venturi Emission” system. These ions spread throughout your space to reduce odors, VOCs, particulates, and airborne microbes.The i-Guard™ produces over 1 million ions per cubic centimeter, making it one of the most powerful compact ducted NPI systems available. The ions work by causing airborne particles to stick together (agglomerate), making them easier to capture. The system also creates air cleansers, including hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyls, super ionized oxygen, and oxidizing ions. These migrate into your indoor spaces to help deactivate molds, mildew, bacteria, viruses, and spores.The unit features a watertight housing that operates at peak output. It handles ducted installations up to 4,800 CFM. The compact design fits easily in crawl spaces, garages, closets, attics, tight areas, and high ambient temperature applications. Installation is simple in either the supply or return air ducts of your central HVAC system.

MAINTENANCE
The Respicaire i-Guard™ requires virtually no maintenance. There are no replacement parts to change or filters to replace. We recommend an annual inspection of the needle posts. Simply wipe the posts with a soft cloth using a circular motion. This quick cleaning ensures optimal performance and consistent ion output year-round. The self-cleansing design prevents buildup and clogging, keeping your system running efficiently without frequent service calls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about the i-Guard™? Here are answers to what contractors and homeowners ask most often.
How does the i-Guard™ compare to standard air filters? Unlike filters that only trap particles passing through them, the i-Guard™ actively sends ions throughout your space. These ions work continuously to reduce pollutants, odors, and microbes in the air and on surfaces.
Is the i-Guard™ safe for my family and pets? Yes, the i-Guard™ uses needlepoint bi-polar ionization technology that’s completely safe. It doesn’t produce harmful ozone levels and creates the same type of ions found naturally in outdoor air.
Will the i-Guard™ work with my existing HVAC system? The i-Guard™ works with most ducted HVAC systems up to 4,800 CFM. Its multi-voltage connection and compact design make it compatible with various equipment types and installation spaces.
How long does the i-Guard™ last? The i-Guard™ is built to last for years with minimal maintenance. Its self-cleansing design and durable construction mean you won’t need frequent replacements or repairs.
Can the i-Guard™ help with wildfire smoke? Yes, the i-Guard™ helps reduce particulates and odors from smoke. Its ionization process causes smoke particles to clump together, making them easier for your HVAC filter to capture.
