Here's how to use the Home Air Check test kit to collect an air sample:

Your kit contains a sampling pump and a glass sample collection tube.
Test the pump. Use the switch to turn it on. A green light should go on. If it doesn't, contact us. Now turn the pump off.
Uncap the outer glass tube and remove the red-capped collection tube.
Gently pull BOTH red caps off of the sample collection tube.
Insert one end (downward pointing arrow) of the glass sample collection tube into the rubber receptacle on top of the pump unit.
Place the unit on a table or countertop centrally located in your home. Close outer doors & windows; keep interior doors open.
Push the pump unit switch to the up/on position. When a green light comes on and you hear a soft buzzing, your test is working.
Allow your test to run for 3.5 hours or as indicated in your instructions.
When done, recap the collection tube and reseal in the outer glass tube.
Return pump and tube to the provided shipping container and seal the box.
Apply the pre-addressed return shipping label and ship back to us.
