The Maxi-Gard™ and Maxi-Gard QUAD™ represent Respicaire’ s latest advancement in LED UV and PCO air purifying technology, specifically engineered for ductless and mini-split systems. This system uses multi-spectrum UV wavelengths that work together to optimize performance for both air treatment and coil irradiation. The UVC wavelengths radiate at evaporative coils, creating conditions to control viruses, bacteria, mold & mildew. The Maxi-Gard™ combines effective air purifying technologies in one compact unit. First, the multi-spectrum UV LED platform delivers broad-spectrum ultraviolet disinfecting wavelengths. Second, the system incorporates PCO (Photo-Catalytic Oxidation) filters as an additional technology layer for enhanced air treatment. Third, the PCO processes help produce friendly air cleansers that work continuously to address various indoor air pollutants, including microorganisms, mold spores, and odors. This non-ozonating air treatment system operates usingeffective, small, and lightweight LED platforms. The dual-voltage, auto-sensing ballasts automatically adjust between 120 and 240-volt applications, making installation flexible across different electrical systems. The Maxi-Gard QUAD™ is a premium modelfor larger ductless systems and ceiling cassette. The Maxi-Gard™ offers one of the most practical designs for mini-split retrofits with multiple installation options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about how the Respicaire Maxi-Gard™ and Maxi-Gard QUAD™ protect your mini-split system and improves your indoor air quality with these common questions.
How does the Maxi-Gard™ prevent mold growth in my mini-split system? The multi-spectrum UV wavelengths create an environment at the evaporator coils where mold, bacteria, and viruses are inactivated. This continuous treatment helps prevent biofilm buildup that causes odors and reduces system efficiency.
Will the Maxi-Gard™ work with my existing mini-split installation? Yes, the Maxi-Gard™ features a compact design with multiple installation options for retrofitting existing systems. The dual voltage auto-sensing ballasts automatically adapt to 120V or 240V electrical systems.
How often do I need to replace the UV LED strips and PCO filters? Replacement schedules vary based on usage, but UV LED strips typically last much longer than traditional UV bulbs. Contact your HVAC contractor for specific maintenance intervals and to ensure you receive genuine Respicaire replacement parts.
Does the Maxi Gard™ system create ozone?Both Maxi-Gard™ models are non-ozonating systems using germicidal LEDs which do not produce ozone. The UV light remains contained within your mini-split unit, treating air and coils without exposure to living spaces.
What specific contaminants isthe Maxi-Gard™ effective on? Laboratory testing shows effectiveness against influenza, H1N1, adenovirus, and coronavirus strains. The system also reduces mold spores, bacteria, odors, and various indoor air pollutants through its combined UV and PCO technology.
