According to the technician, the mold is something noted on virtually all Villages units. Curious on others experience and curious if anyone has installed one of the ultraviolet lights.
UV is good, and will kill germs - but a better option is an ionizer; both will kill germs (and CoVid) - but an ionizer will kill covid on surfaces, while UV will only kill what’s in the airflow.
Did this for a critical facility I ran during the pandemic - no employee covid due to building conditions.
