Question: Will this unit pick up mold?
Document: This product has been a god-send. I rented a house that has a severe mold problem. The slumlord slapped some paint over the visible mold and did nothing else. With the air quality monitor I have been able not only to quantify the extent of the mold presence in the air (as well as monitor the presence of smoke and dust from the exterior) but also evaluate various strategies for alleviating the problem.
Also, someone said that they didn't trust the readings because they went up and down, but that is what particulate levels in a house do - they go up and down and often for no apparent reason. That is why you need one of these things so you know how much junk you're breathing! I will say that I think the threat of insects crawling into the unit is real, but a little bug spray around the area you use it might be all that's needed.
Dylos technical support was kind enough to check and service the monitor for me (even though I admitted to having opened the unit), but the monitor still does not work right.So, as much as I appreciate the good folks at Dylos, who really tried to help me, I just do not find this monitor a reliable tool, due to the design flaws I outlined above, which I hope they would address in a subsequent version. I hope your experience is better.
The unit is well made, easy to operate (I'm an engineer by training), and Dylos technical support is very good about answering questions about how the unit works, calibration, etc. Additionally, Dylos publishes the RS-232 data format that the DC 1100 outputs so you can write your own data recorder and charting visualization software if you want.I would highly recommend this device to anyone serious about monitoring the air quality in their work or home environment.
I purchased my DC 1100 a few years ago to measure and record air quality problems in my office. This unit has functioned well, provided us with a reliable method of continuously logging air quality data over several weeks at a time, and after comparison with measurements captured from data loggers provided by a professional environmental consulting company (in side-by-side measurements), the DC 1100 readings were highly consistent with data gathered from the professional equipment.
very good product ,very reliator the air qualityble and reasonable price.recommend for people who want to monitor the dust and air quality
no PCs(laptops and newer mother boards) come with serial anymore.
Without a tool like this to measure particle counts, you cannot know what is happening, and if what you're doing helps any. For example, it completely changed the way I vacuum. The Dylos is affordable, and you definitely should get one if you spend anywhere close to that amount of money on filtration equipment. I normally disregard 5-star reviews because I believe the critical reviews have more useful information, but here I am making one...
Very good. I buy it for a friend of mine from China. He will use it to monitor the air quality in his office.
This is a good product. It does measure the count of micro particles in the air quite accurately. Great for you to test the filter of air conditioning systems, but cannot test allergen (like pollen) because it doesn't do any analysis - it cannot figure out what the particles are. Therefore, it is only for dust control.Two big drawbacks: 1. very noisy in continous mode because it uses a fan to blow in air.
Answer: This unit will pick up particulates in the air. This includes mold spores. This will not tell you what particulates are in the air. But it well tell you if your air quality is good or bad. We use them for clearance testing on our mold projects. Since using the Dylos we have yet to fail a clearance test.
