Is this safe to use with ozone?

I have not used it with ozone, but my guess is yes. It's only the stone and the plastic piece. Most of the ozone generators I've seen are full of plastic. Perhaps someone else has actual direct experience with it using ozone.

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.

No I do not think you would want to drink water that is high in ozone. Great for disinfecting, not so much for drinking

No, it's just a fan wrapped in foam with a passive filter in front. It's not a high voltage air purifier that could generate ozone.

you can smell the ozone when it is working. i would guess that it would effectively work for at least five or more years.

I don't know. But I have found that refrigerators mix freezer and refrigerator air and so keeping it in the refrigerator also sends ozone to the freezer.

The ionizer's in our units produce less ozone than the UL* established limits of 50ppb. However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.

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

Hi Mickster, Glad to help :). The ozone generator is generally safe for use in current and classic cars depending on the condition of the leather, plastic, etc in the car. However, if overused, ozone can be damaging to interior components of the vehicle such as rubber seals. Most ozone treatment durations are for 30min to 2 hours depending on the level of odor you are trying to remove. The treatment can be repeated if necessary, but it is best to fully air out the car before repeating treatment. Some precautions to take are to remove all trash and personal belongings and to thoroughly vacuum and wipe off all surfaces before treatment. Here is a description with pictures to give you an idea of best placement and practices for the ozone generator in cars: http://www.wikihow.com/Do-an-Ozone-Shock-Treatment-on-a-Vehicle. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can possibly help with anything else :).

I hope not. The CDC and EPA suggest against Ozone purifiers for home/personal use.

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.

You never want to let the ozone function run for that long. Odors are generally taken care of with the "AWAY" setting which is a 2 hour function where you are suggested to be "AWAY". Since the ozone is generated with electric "sparks". the unit would be destroyed running 24/7 without regular maintenance for more than the regular recommended times. You won't need to run it 27/7 unless you have a lot of dead skunks in your attic. This is a good unit, just follow instructions.

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.

I do not find UL certification on the unit or in the manual. In a list of Ozone generators provided by independent review, it also is not on the list of Ozone generators having been tested by UL. That being said, the generator does what it claims it does and has done it well for me. Anyone knowing the health risks associated with using these units should weigh those into consideration before purchasing and using them

It uses a filter rather than ions to clean the air. So it should not emit ozone.

Im not sure but the UV does emit an odor I have noticed after I use it I can smell the odor of ozone I think is the best way to describe it, but I have no way of testing it to find out if this thing really works like lab tests all I can do is riley on what it says on the box, so Im not to sure if it could be false sense of security or if it is real...hope this helps

Ozone in high enough concentrations will kill mold spores. As far as running it while occupying the home it really depends on the cubic volume of the area, the temperature, fresh air circulation etc.... You breath ozone everyday in nature however the parts per million are very low. Without a way to monitor the parts per million in the occupied space and knowing what is deemed safe I would not run the machine when a structure is occupied.
