Air Purifiers – Has no Ozone?
Hello
I have 3 Oreck XL Professional Air Purifiers, One by one they all stopped emit Ozone smell
I cleaned the Ozone plates, they still don’t work.
Then I bought 2 Used Alpine air fresheners — Same problem, I cleaned the ozone plates and no success.
Any Idea why?
Thanks

How do I control the dust in an old house?

I have an old house. I know from experience that old houses are just dusty. There is 100 year old hidden dust in every crack and crevice in this house and it does get stirred up!

I don’t have forced air heat, which is a good thing, but I don’t have any carpet at all to catch or collect airborn dust. I have hardwood floors everywhere which makes stirring up the dust very easy.

I dust all the time. I’ve tried ozone generating air purifiers and hated them. I use the vaccume cleaner attachments to suck up dust when I clean.

Any ideas for controlling the dust problem in an old house? Air filters? Hire a live in maid? I’m exhausted, what do I do?

Air Cleaner for a smoker with low budget?

Im looking for an air cleaner/purifier for someone who is a smoker. I found some cheap ones at Wal-Mart for like but I am really worried that those ones generate ozone and not very effective when it comes to eliminating odor.

Im pretty paranoid when it comes to chemicals so I don’t want to have any incenses and candles burned. I just need something that I can trust that it won’t cause more harm.

Yes I know it sucks that my budget is low. But is there anything that can safely eliminate cigarette smoke? Something I can afford? Please tell me the make/model so I can get sth.
Thank you very much!

What mode should I use on my air purifier?

There is an anion mode and an ozone mode.

In easy terms (no scientific nonsense I won’t understand) what is the difference between anion mode and ozone mode? Which one should we be using most often?

What is the best way to prevent kids from possibly bringing home the norwalk (or similar) virus this winter?

The whole family caught it last year. It was miserable. 3 days.. with 8+ hours of nonstop violent vomiting, plus an additional 2 days of diarrhea. Could not even keep a sip of water down. It was hell!
Not sure where it came from, but it was all over town and my oldest daughter had been attending daycare once or twice a week.

So I was wondering, besides cleaning and making sure everyone washes their hands, is there a vaccine, a spray, or medication that can prevent this from going around again in our home? I’m seriously contemplating an air purifier with ozone…!

By the way, this was a nasty virus. Within comming in contact with an infected person, you would contract the virus and begin vomiting within 8 hours or less! (I’m not kidding, it went through the ENTIRE family, including inlaws in a week!)

I’m just paranoid…. I really REALLY don’t want to ever get this again! lol

help! is working on the train messing with my health????

Ever since I started working for amtrak – and I LOVE it… I’ve been concerned about the recirculated air and diesel fumes I’m constantly breathing.

I cough a lot and because we work such long hours, I feel sick a lot.

Question is, do you think its really affecting me? Is it unhealthy!?

Was thinking about purchasing an air purifier (non-ozone) to use in my room on the train so when I go in there at least I have that space to breathe freely in.
Its tough- you can really smell it in the air.

What should I do?(Besides quit!!!)

Question about ozone exposure from an ionic breeze, help please?

My mother had an ionic breeze running in the basement all night long on the highest setting. Though the basement is somewhat large, there is no air circulation down there to disperse or diffuse the ozone produced by the "air purifier" as the air conditioning is currently malfunctioning.

I was down there for approximately a half hour when my nose began to burn, and it was at this point that I immediately thought to ascertain whether or not the ionic breeze was on. Seeing that it was, I promptly returned upstairs and the pain in my nose subsided and eventually abated.

I’m asking this because I’m curious if I could, feasibly, have been inhaling unhealthy amounts of ozone – and if so, could my lungs, olfactory lobe in my brain, or any other internal organ have sustained cell damage?

ionic purifiers: is removing ozone a bad thing?

as advertised, ionic purifiers turn smog and ozone into pure oxygen. Well isn’t ozone that thing in the air that protects us from harmful UV rays? So if it is bad, why do they advertise it so proudly?

I got a humidifier that evaporates water through ionization.Is the vapor harmful to breathe?

I ask this question primarily because I bought an air purifier once and there was an obvious ozone odor, which I promptly returned the product to the store. The humidifier I bought more recently smells nothing like ozone and whatever odor is produced is very subtle. I just don’t want to be breathing this in now and find out 10 years from now I’m dying of cancer. This humidifier appeals to me to help me with allergies because it doesn’t use up heat to humidify the room. Thanks,
There are no settings. It’s just called an "atomizer" or "ionizer", but it uses an electric current of some sort to evaporate the water (the evaporation is not hot at all).

As for the other answer, I’m not sure what you mean by it removes ions/toxins from the air. This is a water purifier, so the ionizer device is not exposed to the air at all. If you are referencing the air purifier I once purchased, well I only had this for a few days and refered to this simply because it had an ozone odor (where ozone is known to be carcinogenic).

I’d like to know if this evaporated water is carcinogenic! This vapor has a slight odor, not of ozone. Can’t really describe it .

need an air filter for my apartment?

I’m looking for an air filter that will trap mold, dust, allergens, etc. as well as reduce odors. My apartment is about 650 sq. ft. so all the kitchen smells disperse through the whole place. I don’t want one of those ionic purifiers that create a lot of ozone which is even worse for you than the dust and mold. If anyone has a website that I can get reviews, I’d appreciate that too.

Thanks,
