Does this use ozone to clean the equipment?

Yes. The company calls it "activated oxygen," but that's just another term for ozone (aka O3 or trioxygen). Ozone generators are also used in hot tubs and swimming pools as a way to keep the water clean while reducing the amount of chlorine or bromine needed for sanitation.

I bellieve it is oxygen that is used. Google soclean 2 and go to the websight that has a video that thoroughly explains the cleaning process. This should answer all your questions.

Some air cleaners use ozone. However, this air purifier uses a filter. The only way that it can yield ozone is if there was an electrical problem causing arcing. I would say that all electrical products run this extremely low risk, and it has nothing to do with the air filtering functionality of this particular product. Also, if there was arcing, my feeling is that hazard due to ozone is the least of your concerns. Fire would be a real risk.

Good to rinse the ozone plate with water every so often, And let dry completely or use hair dryer to remove ALL water before installing, be careful they are delicate. Replace plate every year or so, Or if ozone smell depreciates. Keep clean of dust, It will clog and burn out your fan motor. Too much ozone is not healthy for you so please use as directed. And never leave pets in the home while it is on full air cleaning mode.

You can keep the oxygen machine hooked up but just make sure that the oxygen machine is off. If the oxygen was on it could dilute the ozone cleaning the cpap machine.

No, But the ozone the machine produces is far more effective at sterilizing the air than uv!!!

In my case no,because a have a good well , but it wont hurt to filter the water for cleanness. The ozone will destroy bacteria

I think there may be a difference between an ionizer and an ozone generator. I'm looking at the same EPA page as you, compare "electronic air cleaners" to "ozone generators": http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/airclean.html#What%20Types

Yes it does.. it has a ball for water or defused air and a cylindrical one for either air or oil or water.. l have had my unit for about 2 weeks now and have used it quite a bit to make water and fresh in the air.. for a little unit it does well and keeps the level of ozone low enough and with a maximum 30 second timer so u don't end up making your self sick from it..

Not really, but here is EPA's stand on how ozone generating devices are being sold as air purifiers... http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html

Yes. The unit separates into 3 parts for cleaning. Often, a good rinse is all that's necessary. Disassembling and reassembling is very easy.

THANK YOU! I am so excited to see this. I bought it a year ago, but turned it off month ago because I hated the smell it produced. I wondered if the smell was ozone, but it's not supposed to produce ozone. However, a friend said that the ionization (the PlasmaWave part) turns oxygen into ozone, so...it does produce ozone. Glad to know that I can turn off the PlasmaWave. I'm going to clean it out and start it up again and see if it still produces that unpleasant smell.

this unit doesnt have a filter, in any case i supose you can clean it with compresed air

No, it doesn't. Filters that emit ozone attract particles with an electrostatic charge, and this one doesn't use that technology.

Yes the ozone can be shut off as well as the ion generator in which air cleaner will take impurities out of the air by the use of the three air filters. There is great control when using this unit.

Per the flyer for this product in the link I'm including below(if amazon will allow the link), on page 2 it says "Produces no ozone, fumes or other secondary contaminants"http://jonecacorporation.com/UVC_Air_Sanitizer/UVCAIR.pdf

this filter can be cleaned with ammonia and a toothbrush. once a month if you use it all the time. beware that you do not use the Ozone too much as this is bad on your lungs. only use it when you are not in the room.
1116366
It should, you need to keep the filters cleaned. I don't run the ozone all the time.
