Camp Bow Wow Experiment

One day while I was on duty at Bethesda we had gone to get fuel in the ladder truck. On the way back to the station I noticed a place called Camp Bow Wow, a doggie day care and I thought it might be a good place to try one of our air purifiers.

The next morning when my shift ended I stopped by to introduce myself. I told them I had an air purifier and I wondered if I could do an experiment with their facility. They informed me that they ran a very clean place and did not need such a product but if I wanted, I could leave a unit for them to try. I told them before I left that it is very good at removing dust from the air and they assured me that they would put it to the test.

The next morning I received a very exciting phone call from the owner, Neil Bleau. He told me that it snowed inside their facility last night. He went on to explain that the staff had done a super clean last night and when they came in this morning it looked like it snowed! The entire facility had a white coating of pet dander.

They also told him that when they opened up in the morning they normally clean any accidents that happened overnight right away so there are no lingering smells when clients come in. When the staff came in this particular morning, they noticed there was no overnight accident smells. By the way, the accidents were still there and needed to be cleaned up.

The unit for this experiment is designed as a residential unit that covers a 3000 square foot home. The area of this facility was 7000 square foot with a 16 foot ceiling. Needless to say, the test the unit was put to, indeed passed!!

After putting a proposal together with a few different options, they decided that two of the residential units is the way they wanted to go. Prior to doing this experiment, Neil was planning to put some money into the staff break room to make it nicer and more comfortable. When the time came, Neil asked the staff to pick between upgrades to the break room or the purifier units and they chose the purifiers. The staff understood they were breathing in all that pet dander that was floating in the air, and it was not a healthy environment to be working in.
