Just step indoors and smell the
fresh air.
Even on the coldest day that's the
first thing you'll notice when you
step into the Brussels-area farm-
house of Alicia Deitner. And after
testing the air purification system
that brought freshness into her
home, Alicia decided to become a
distributor.
The mother of two young chil-;
dren, Alicia had recently decided to
quit her full-time job and be a stay-
at-home mom for a while. During a
conversation with a visitor to their
home, she was asked to try "Thun-
derstorm in a Box" for a time. Ali-
cia said, "I put it in the basement
and within a few days I could feel a
change."
Then a neighbour had a problem
ridding her house of a smell often
typical to farms. A rodent had died
under the back kitchen. "I took the
unit up to her house and left it
there. Two days later the smell had
dissipated. She moved it into her
house and kept it."
It was then that Alicia decided
this might be the type of business
venture that would permit her to
work while staying home. "I wasn't
really sure, but then I helped anoth-
er distributor with a display at a
local fair. I saw the excitement and
thought this might be for me."
Becoming familiar with this air
purification system has been an
awakening for Alicia. "It has really
made me aware of indoor air prob-
lems," she said. "Our houses are
more airtight and as we spend 90
per cent of our time indoors, we are
constantly breathing consistent
low-level contaminants."

Collection was received with

There will be quilting and tying

glow of sunlight, said Alicia are not
just dust, but contain even more
disgusting particles. "There are
42,000 dust mites and their feces in
one little ounce of dust. Think
about it. Your vacuum cleaner is
just one big corpse."
Household products used for
cleaning, can be irritants, particu-
larly for those with allergies. "The
air purification system doesn't cure
allergies, but it is certainly benefi-
cial to anyone who suffers from
them, or for those who are asthmat-
ic.
The Thunderstorm in a Box
purifies the air in a home much the
way nature does the outdoors. Ali-
cia said, "When Mother Nature
wants to clean her air she produces
a thunderstorm."
The rain and lightning creates the
abundance of negative ions in the
air, which increases oxygen and
destroys bacteria. The Thunder-
storm in a Box, which was created
by a North American designer, is
electrically producing fresh air,
said Alicia.
Unlike a filtration system which
has a fan to draw the air in, then fil-
ters and expels clean air, the Thun-
derstorm has positive and
negatively charged ions which grab
hold of the particles in the air. The
negative charges connect with the
positively charged particles which
then become heavy and fall to the
ground.
"That's when the ozone kicks in,"
said Alicia. "It breaks down and
destroy germs, bacteria, fungus and
molds while increasing the oxygen
in the air.

comes in several sizes. They can
cover 500, 100, 2,500 or 3,500
square feet for ionization at a .60
foot radius through walls and
floors. For the ozone effect, it's best
to set the box in a room you want
freshened, as it mainly goes in air-
flow patterns.
It is portable and economical to
use, plugging in to any 110 outlet
and requiring 30 watts of power. It
can run 24 hours a day, seven days
a week.
The unit price, over a 10-year
span is about $8.30 a month, Alicia
said.
There is a Thunderstorm in a Box
also available for specialized busi-
nesses such as beauty salons and
agriculture.
To introduce her product to the
local public, Alicia has taken a
booth at this week's Environmental
Fair in Brussels. "There is no high-
pressure sale with this system. The
company bases their business on a
lot of free trials. We place the unit
in your home and let it do it's own
talking," said Alicia.
Anyone interested in trying out a
Thunderstorm in a Box can call her
at 887-6502.
