Just keep one end of the cool tube open. Make sure you have at least a 6" 250 cfm fan blowing straight up and out of your area...you will still have a fair amount of smell, but you wont need a filter...this is what I do in my veg tent...hope this helps

I just rinse it out weekly with a soap and water, works fine for me. I haven't had an issue with odor

Absolutely. The other day I cooked salmon and burnt it! So not only did I have stinky salmon smelling up my house, but I had a terrible burnt fish smell! Yuck! Turn that purifier on, turn the ozone on, and bam! smell is gone in minutes. Seriously. I love it. I have a smelly Fiance who leaves dirty socks and clothes every where, needs to be nagged to take out the trash etc: turn the purifier on and you'd never know it! haha

Open the front of the a/c unit on the side facing the room and remove the filter by hand and clean it well with a dry paint brush to remove any pollen/lent etc., I take it outside to do this...or you can wash it under running cold water if it really needs that much cleaning, but blow it dry with a hair dryer or similar before replacing it. Then if the light is still on afterward, press the filter button and it goes off. This light comes on after the air conditioner has operated, I believe the directions said around 1000 hrs., so it's automatic, even if you have already cleaned it prior. Hope this helps you.

I just got mine out to check. I have a pretty good sense of smell and mine had no odor. Sometimes soaking it submersed in vinegar for a few days will clear the smell. Good luck!

Hi Joanne; I have not put this one together yet but years ago we used one and I just lit it with a match or bic lighter. My wife said she didn't like the odor of kerosene and she got rid of the old one. Sorry I cant help any more than that.

throw it in the dryer with a dryer sheet and it will help with the odor. Doesn't last too long unless you have a sensitive nose.

I am not an expert but I believe cat urine order is difficult to remove and would require a higher level of ozone the GTF can generate it would also depend on how large the room is which would affect the ozone concentration in the affected area

As I remember the A Plus Filter says it uses a better type of carbon based molecule to trap odors. I have no way of knowing if it is better. But the air is fresh in the basement. Is it fresher than before? Can't tell without some quantitative guidelines and measurements. For me it was "chicken soup": couldn't be any worse than the plain carbon filter and might be better.

Yes, there is a separate button for the ion option so you can turn it off with the the lamp on. I did not think there was a "plastic" smell and I prefer to have the ion on myself.

Turn it off, remove the filter, clean it (I use a little dustbuster or a regular vacuum on a gentle setting), put it back, turn it on, and press the filter button (the light will go off). voila!

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

I would try washing any microhood or venthood filters first, if you can? Metal ones can go thru the dishwasher and then usually better catch contaminants without any grease, etc possibly clogging them up.. They work best if you crack a window too, before turning them on (especially in newer homes with better insulation). Not exactly what you were asking, lol, but hopefully this helps. Yes, the carbon in these filters should help too. Mostly with stagnant smells, not necessarily while cooking though.

It probably depends on how dirty your air is. I've had my unit for 9 months and the light just came on to replace the odor filter. The main filter replacement light has not come on yet.

My system had that same bad taste and odor. I even flushed the system many times and unplugged the UV lamp and still had the same outcome. The water tasted fine after many flushes, but returned to the same bad taste/smell after a few days EVERY time. Even with the UV lamp unplugged. I believe there is something toxic in the tank and have gotten rid of this system. Good luck.

No, we didn't but opened it outdoors. You might try Nok-Out Odor Eliminator and/or a water sealer to help with the odor.
