how much ozone is produced

I 'm not sure but it does produced some smell if you are 2 square feet from the area not whole a lot because O3 is very unstable. It evaporates right away.

I have no idea but it seems to work very well. There is a very strong "ozone" smell when it's working. I've been using it for months and it's never failed me.

While I am unable to state how much ozone is produced, I can tell you how I use the unit. I put the unit into any room in my house that has an odor, run it for a couple of hours, and then let the room air out, and odor is gone. I also use it under sinks, or anywhere that I might have mold, and again it has worked very well.

this thing really produces a lot! Don't stay in the room that this is running in! Until the o3 clears!

I don't see about "ozone" in their specifications my advice to you is call Fellowes Customer Service and ask them directly, I bought 2 of this for my daughters since they have cats they both swear that you can feel the difference with this air purifier.

Hey there. I had bought this for a friend. From what I can remember it's 3.5 h ope this helps.

"All of our air purifiers have been tested to comply within the ozone safety requirements set forth by California Air Resources Board. Our BioGS model emits zero ozone when the negative ion generator is on or off and our MinusA2 emits zero ozone on all speeds once you have turned off the Negative Ion Generator. An amount of 0.002 ppm (parts-per-million) was recorded at low fan speed of our MinusA2 with the negative ionizer turned on. That is 25 times less than the 0.05 ppm maximum ozone concentration safety standard set forth by the California Air Resources Board." - http://www.rabbitair.com/faq.aspx

There exist strains of mold that can survive the ozone process. that being said, it does kill most of them. do not let people are pets be inside while this is in use, it is very dangerous.

Hi Robert, Glad to help :). All ozone generators require an ozone plate or cartridge in order to work. Ozone (activated oxygen, O3) is created when voltage is applied to the ozone plate/cartridge to create a corona discharge. This corona discharge reacts with the oxygen present in the ozone generator chamber to create ozone. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can help with anything else :).

Per the owner's manual (pg 9)... "Is my Air Purifier considered an ozone generator? No. Ozone generators produce large amounts of ozones as the primary way to clean the air. The EPA does not endorse these products because they can cause ozone related health problems. The air purifier does not use ozone as the primary method to clean the air. It cleans the air by using ifD technology (intense Field Dielectric) which only generates trace amounts of ozone, substantially below the limits established by the EPA and FDA." "The ionizing process used by the air purifier produces small amounts of ozone as a byproduct. The air purifier complies with U.S. Government limits for acceptable levels of ozone (less than 50 parts per billion by volume of air circulating throught the product). People that are extremely sensitive to any ozone emitting products, even trace amounts, should consult a physician prior to using this product."

ionizers generally will create ozone, I would avoid using it, I make sure its always off. How much ozone it makes i'm not sure, but any amount is not good, especially if it is in a room long term making ever so steadily small amounts, you get where i'm going with this. So yea, don't use the ionizer, not sure why people would say it doesn't make ozone, that's what ionizers do - ozone is a by product of it. How much ozone it makes not sure, but best to have zero.

Ozone generators work by electrically charging oxygen (o2) and converting it into ozone (o3). One of the big advantages of this product is that it it doesn't run constantly. By turning itself off it saves on wear and tear. Thanks.

If you believe the company's claim that it is not an ozone generator then I believe it appears to be a hydrogen peroxide generator. See my comment to the question here about what technology does this use. I explain in more detail including safety.

Its not something you run all day long. It doesn't use much more energy than a large fan. Use the away setting which turns off automatically after 2 hours and go shopping. Ozone isn't dangerous but is unpleasant. It works very well.

The photocatalytic process does produce a small amount of ozone, but I too am wondering how much is produced by this specific model. It should not be as much as the ionizing filters produce.

Think its is 5 year not Forsure though. I've had it for 3 years and run it 24/7 no issues at all. The ozone is very strong.

i have been using it for 4 month, and so far i am very pleased. the smell that produces is the ozone, doent get into the water (the water is delicious) and that i beleive is what suposed to do...without the smell there is no ozone.

Hi Mark. It does not emit ozone. This model uses both HEPA and a carbon filter.

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

Yes, all UV-C products produce dangerous amounts of ozone! See:http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03323.htm
