Why is the UV light needed to "keep the aiir fresh" when ozone is made? Doesn't the ozone does that?

The UV light kills mold spores, viruses, bacteria, and more, which leads to better, healthy air. UV lamps are used in air conditioning systems to help prevent mold and mildew growth on the evaporator coils. It's proven technology, and provides healthier, cleaner air quality.

As far as I know bulb only produces uv light. I have mine installed just above the evaporator coils because I had read somewhere that it would help kill any mold growing on the coils but you can also install near the return air duct.

Yes...it is on 24/7. This light does not emit ozone. The UV lights that emit ozone must go on and off with the fan so the ozone doesn't build up in the air handler.ThanksScottClean Air Solutions LLC

The UV light only comes with certain models. I would double check the description of the one you purchased.

The UV that is emitted by this device is contained inside the cylinder and does not come into contact with people. It kills germs and dust mites that are drawn into the cylinder by the fan that operates at a very slow speed that gives the UV enough time to kill them. Best results are obtained when it is left on 24-seven.

This in--line sterilizer is carefully constructed so that you can not directly see the UV light and damage your eyes. I would not suggest taking it apart and trying to light the bulb. With that being said, I believe this bulb is able to sterilize the water because the water is routed around the bulb in a shallow column. This allows the UV rays to penetrate all of the water. It would not be as effective on the surface.

According to installation instructions, the unit is powered continuously, that is to say, once installed, you plug it into an available 115 vac outlet. That means that the operation of the UV unit is not associated with heating or cooling. The effective life of the bulb in continuous operation is about a year, so I plan to replace the bulb as part of my annual routine HVAC maintenance. The effectiveness of UV light on mold is unaffected by temperature. I am satisfied with the ease of installation and operation of the unit.

This is the UV light only and you would need to purchase a pump, hosing etc... What most people do is split off their current pump/filtration to route into a UV filter such as this.

Don't really have an exact answer to that, but it does put out a good bit and that's the "rain fresh" smell we like that it puts out. We typically put the ozone control on low when we leave the house and turn it off when we return home. Even on the low setting the entire house smells very fresh and after turning off the ozone, we leave the ionizer on med fan speed 24/7. Hopes this helps you :)

I have not experienced any smell produced by my unit. It has so far performed flawlessly. In my research prior to order/installing, I did read where UV can break down some plastics, so I was careful to inspect the area inside the duct and around the coil to make sure there weren't any plastic parts that might be exposed.

The whole point is to have clean water stored in tank.of course it goes to uv and through filters and stored in tank.the water is warm in first 10 minute of running, that's the bad part

I have an LED light, but to answer your question Yes you have to have either LED or UV light to dry this product.

If it is still making the little electric arc then it is making ozone. Just blow out any dust from the machine that plugs air flow.

Annually or earlier if it is placed first in lime which it should not be. Trust the engineers that designed it. If it is placed first the UV chamber will become coated with impurities in the water thus blocking the UV light from working.

There are specific placements that are recommended, depending on how your A/C is setup. These 'types' of UV lights are very powerful. To look directly at them is harmful. Im guessing, if your filter is disintegrating, then your UV light is probably not in the right place. The light it emits should never leave the unit. I do not know how you are going to use a reflector to shield your filter without limiting air flow? FYI: I am not a professional just a DIY guy. Mikes response is on point, you still need to shield all wires that are exposed. Ian M also has a valid point for placement. All good advice here. Hope this helps.

Yes -- it is to an ultraviolet light that is a "tube" (water goes through the tube and the light bulb is encased). It's to help kill algae. Our light bulb is not part of the filter. However, we have had great success with this purchase. Hope this helps!
