OdorFree Ozone Generator Odor Removal

OdorFree Ozone Generators harnesses the power of O3 to naturally eliminate the toughest of odors and pollutants at their source. Using a special process that utilizes an electrical current, the OdorFree Ozone Generators create O3, or ozone, which attaches directly to a pollutant or odor molecule. Ozone reverts back to O2 in about an hour if the O3 is unused. Ozone works by breaking down odor molecules, which leaves the air fresh because the source of the odor has been permanently removed.  Easy to clean, non toxic, convenient, and POWERFUL, OdorFree Ozone Generators will solve the most severe odor situations. Features Easy to operate with the turn of a dial Timer also has “Hold” setting for long term treatment Plates are as easy to remove as a CD for cleaning Convenient built in cord holder to stow cord Quality and durability backed by a Full 5 Year Warranty Ozone Safety Ozone generators are for use in unoccupied spaces and not running when people or pets are present. While O3 is a powerful oxidizer that will eliminate most odors, long-term exposure is not recommended by government agencies because it can contribute to eye and respiratory irritation. These are valid safety concerns because the ozone breaks apart molecules as part of the oxidation process, especially odor causing molecules. However, humans and pets are also made up of molecules, so ozone at high levels has the potential to irritate the eyes and respiratory system, especially those with asthma or COPD. Therefore, ozone should be used with caution. In the recent past, some direct marketing companies sold air purifiers that produce ozone to consumers for use in occupied spaces. This created concern at the EPA, the FDA and the American Lung Association, which resulted in adverse publicity for the ozone industry. For decades prior to that time, ozone had been used commercially in the hotel, apartment, janitorial, water and fire damage remediation industries and many others, while spaces were unoccupied. So the state of California now has ozone restrictions for consumer air purifiers, and industrial ozone cleaners like the OdorFree have special labeling requirements. Beware of any type of air purifier that produces ozone and claims the product is for use in occupied spaces High Output Claims Sellers on the internet often make false claims regarding the performance of their products in order to obtain a sale. Beware of sales claims for ozone generators with very high ozone output at a price that seems to be too good to be true. In the event these units were creating the extremely high levels of output claimed, the ozone would be causing unseen damage to vulnerable materials like speakers, leather furniture, electronics and other materials. Once ozone reaches a certain level, degradation and deterioration of materials begins. Ozone can do great things, but as with any substance, too much or excessive levels will create problems. And extreme levels are not required for permanent odor removal. Moderation is the key to a successful ozone treatment. Ozone output levels can vary as a result of air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and other factors. And there are no set standards or protocols for testing ozone production in milligrams per hour (mg/hr). A high output number is sometimes posted simply to attract buyers. Unfortunately, there is no authority to prevent this type of misinformation from being uploaded and distributed on the web. Warranty All ozone generators require periodic cleaning of the ozone producing elements to continue operating. Beware of unitsoffered on the Internet that cannot be maintained by the buyer because they will stop functioning after a period of time. The OdorFree carries a 5 year warranty because it is built to be easily maintained. Many ozone generators have a very short lifespan. Always check the details of the warranty that a manufacturer provides. Ozone can be corrosive and all ozone producing elements build up a film on the plates that dramatically reduces output. Even plates protected by a filter will build up a microscopic film on the plates over time that causes the ozone production to drop. Beware of ozone plates that cannot be removed and cleaned by the end user. This is especially true of mica plates because the material cannot be cleaned and alignment is very important. So the mica plates have to be permanently built into a handmade assembly for protection. Thus, the mica assembly can become the most expensive component, by far, in the entire unit. Once the inevitable microscopic film builds up on the mica plates or corrosion occurs, ozone output drops dramatically, making it a throwaway product or requiring a costly return to the factory. The most expensive part in the unit will need regular maintenance but cannot be serviced, so the warranty can become somewhat meaningless.     Shipping included to the Contiguous US. *Please note: Ozone can adversely affect indoor plants, certain plastics, rubber, and some electrical wire coatings.
