Some facilities require EPA-registered solutions
In regulated or sensitive environments, EPA-registered solutions may be required to meet compliance standards and internal policies. Standard treatments may not satisfy these requirements.
- Healthcare and medical facilities
- Food processing and storage environments
- Pharmaceutical and laboratory settings
- Schools, universities, and public buildings
- Government and municipal facilities
- Sites with strict internal compliance policies or audits
Key benefits
Focus on outcomes that matter to operators and maintenance teams: cleaner operation, preserved performance, fewer complaints, and less maintenance churn.
EPA registered
Designed for applications where compliance standards require EPA-registered products.
Longer-lasting polymer format
Provides 6-month protection in standard HVAC applications, with 3-month protection for commercial sizes.
Supports cleaner drain pans
Helps support ongoing maintenance and cleaner system operation.
- Reduced service frequency: Extended protection helps reduce repeat labor and maintenance visits compared with short-interval treatments.
- Strong positioning for regulated accounts: Gives contractors and distributors a clear solution when EPA registration is required.
Polymers vs tablets in regulated environments
Algae Guard polymer strips
Built for regulated environments that require EPA-registered solutions.
- EPA registered for compliance-driven applications
- 6-month protection in standard HVAC applications
- 3-month protection for commercial sizes
- Reduced maintenance frequency
- Stronger positioning in regulated facilities
Traditional tablets
Traditional tablets are often not positioned for regulatory applications and usually require more frequent servicing.
- Frequent dosing increases labor costs
- Shorter service intervals
- Less suitable for compliance-driven environments
- Limited differentiation in proposals
Why it matters
In regulated environments, product selection affects compliance, service frequency, and how confidently a solution can be specified.
- Supports regulatory compliance
- Reduces service burden
- Improves contractor credibility
- Strengthens proposal positioning
How it works
- Inspect and clean the drain pan before first installation.
- Select the appropriate Algae Guard size by tonnage or coil coverage.
- Remove from packaging and leave the fabric intact.
- Place Algae Guard on the surface of the drain pan away from the drainage point.
- Replace during scheduled maintenance intervals based on application size.
Ideal for facilities requiring EPA-registered drain pan treatment, including healthcare, institutional, food-related, and other compliance-driven maintenance environments.
- Healthcare facilities
- Food processing and storage environments
- Institutional buildings
- Compliance-driven HVAC maintenance programs
