Podcast excerpt (single-speaker) explaining that UV light—likened to sunlight—can be installed inside HVAC/drain pans to prevent biological growth, odors, and moisture-related issues that occur in dark, damp system areas. The speaker uses a north-side-of-tree/moss metaphor to illustrate how absence of UV enables growth.

UV is a powerful product. I mean, it's the sun. You're basically bringing the sun inside your system, which is in a damp, dark spot. I mean, when you think about it, you got hot air coming across a coil, which is then cooling the air down and then dripping and then things in the pan. It's dark, it's damp, there is no sunlight. Things start to happen. That's pretty nasty. UV can handle that problem. So. So if you, you know, if you think about the north side of a house or if you're in the woods, the north side of a tree has moss on it, right? That's because it gets no uv. Things start to grow, right? So we can take that same power and put it inside your system.
