Reduce Asthma, Allergies and Hay Fever

Asthma

Reduce Asthma Symptoms by Improving Your Home Ventilation

Air and water. They’re the most essential elements we need to live. So why do we think so little about what we’re breathing?

DVS EC Connect home ventilation systems are proudly recognised by Asthma New Zealand. A DVS ventilation system can reduce exposure to triggers and subsequently the symptoms. Common causes of asthma and allergies include excess moisture and condensation, dust mites, mould, mildew and airborne mould spores.

Asthma Triggers

  • Allergens are triggers of asthma.
  • Cold and damp homes exacerbate asthma and are more likely to contain mould spores.
  • Mould spores are dangerous to you and your family’s health and are an equally dangerous trigger of asthma.
  • Dust mite excreta is one of the most common asthma triggers. Dust mites are microscopic tick like arachnids typically found in damp environments.
  • Dead dust mites and dust mite excreta can make up 10% of a 2 year old pillow’s weight.

Ventilation Solutions

  • DVS EC Connect home ventilation systems use natural wool filters with Helix technology used by NASA to protect astronauts.
  • The Helix technology is able to remove allergens, pollen, harmful dust, toxic gases, bacteria and other asthma triggers from the air that is distributed into your home.
  • Air cannot bypass the filter, which means that air entering your home has all been filtered by Helix technology.

Allergies and Hay Fever

Eliminate Allergies and Hay Fever by Improving Your Home Ventilation

Air and water. They’re the most essential elements we need to live. So why do we think so little about what we’re breathing?

An allergen is something that triggers an allergic response. Allergens found in everyday environments include pollen, mould, animals and dust. The rate of environmental allergies, including hay fever, eczema and dust mites, has doubled in 15 years. Most of the research points to the state of our damp, cold home environments and the air we’re subsequently breathing in.

Symptoms and Reactions to Allergies

  • Hay fever (allergic rhinitis)
  • Eczema
  • Hives
  • Asthma

Ventilation Solutions

Since we cannot cure allergies, we must change our environment to minimise (and even eliminate) their impact.

  • DVS EC Connect home ventilation systems work by creating a positive pressure that prevents the entry of allergens into your home.
  • DVS EC Connect home ventilation systems use natural wool filters with Helix technology used by NASA to protect astronauts.
  • The Helix technology is able to remove allergens, pollen, harmful dust, toxic gases, bacteria and other asthma triggers from the air that is distributed into your home.
  • Air cannot bypass the filter, which means the air entering your home has all been filtered by Helix technology.
  • Positive pressure created by the ventilation system removes dust in your home.
