Congratulations Justin Rafton - Daikin Air Purifier Winner

Aug 01, 2022
Daikin MC55YPVM Air Purifier Competition Winner

Congratulations to the winner of our Newstalk ZB competition, Justin Rafton who won a Daikin MC55YPVM Air Purifier.


Justin entered the competition with the radio station in July and took delivery of his prize today from The Heat Pump People Manager, Adam Kelso, at his home in beautifully sunny Mount Pleasant.


Justin and his wife have just returned to New Zealand from Canada with their dog and are staying with family.  He says there are currently a lot of people and pets (2 dogs and 2 cats) in one space so the plan is to start using the Daikin Air Purifier in their bedroom to help clean the indoor air of odor/hair/etc. and generally assist in the battle against winter/spring allergies. "We've never had an air purifier before so we are excited to learn all of what it can do, and the best ways to put it to use". 


Daikin Air Purifiers with Streamer technology have been proven to be effective at removing more than 99.9% of certain air borne viruses, including the common flu (H1N1) and the human coronavirus which is one of the viruses that causes the common cold.


Swiss multi-national testing and certification company, SGS, confirmed these findings based on their independent testing which featured the Daikin Air Purifier model MC55YPVM.


The Streamer Technology helps to remove viruses, bacteria, mould, allergens, dust, and pollen from indoor areas using a high-performance electrostatic filter that traps the airborne particles. A high-powered plasma discharge then generates electrons to  eliminate harmful substances.
