by Rebecca Walker — December 25, 2009—SANYO North America Corp., a maker of HVAC and other energy related equipment, and Mann Theatres have announced a partnership to provide cleaner and safer air quality for Los Angeles moviegoers.
The plan calls for the first-ever U.S. installation of SANYO’s duct-type air purification system in a public movie theatre. This air purification system, which has been installed at one screen of a Mann theatre in Santa Monica, demonstrates their commitment to providing the highest quality cinema experience for its guests as possible. The Criterion 6 theatre installation will serve as a pilot for all future Mann Theatres throughout Southern California.
The announcement to provide a cleaner and safer air environment was made not long after Consumer Reports listed public movie theatres among seven things dirtier than money.
This duct-type air purification system, installed at the end of October, uses electrolyzed water technology to effectively suppress a wide range of airborne agents, such as bacteria, pollen and odors.
The electrolyzed water that is produced decomposes tap water with an electric current, creating two forms of active oxygen to clean the air.
