Air Purification Instructions
We only recommend un-occupied Shock Treatment use.

Allergy Purifiers LLC does not recommend the use of an ozone generator for air purification in occupied residential applications unless sophisticated monitoring and controlling equipment is used. If you intend to use an ozone generator as an air purifier, cleaner, deodorizer, etc. in an occupied area you must first realize that ozone will NOT completely sterilize any environment at a level that is safe for people, plants and pets, and ozone can be dangerous for the lungs. Ozone will however reduce the contamination and eliminate most odors when used in the shock treatment manner. Air Purification with ozone is very effective, however we do not sell ozone generators for occupied air purification. Ozone air purification is NOT RECOMMENDED and all ozone generators on this site are designed, manufactured and labeled for Industrial Use Only. It is most effective to use ozone shock treatments or choose a HEPA rated air purifier filter with a gas and odor Carbon filter such as the IQAir HealthPro Plus, Allerair Allerair AirMedic Exec, NQ Environmental Clarifier Purifier. We have an air purification rating on ozone generators for competitive comparison and industrial unoccupied use. Ozone permanently kills odors and germs through oxidation with ozone shock treatments. For permanent results; sterilizing surfaces of an environment, please refer to the shock treatment section. Ozone Generators are used in industrial cleaning applications and are considered tools of the trade for Commercial ODOR, MOLD / flood remediation, Smoke / fire remediation, protein decomposition (animal, crime / death scene clean-up) and bacteria or virus remediation businesses. Air purification only requires low levels of ozone for most applications. It is recommended to read the ozone safety page. The ozone generator should be properly sized for the specific area and contaminants. The Ozone generator gas should be distributed into the air handling system by a professional in order to ensure proper distribution. (mounting brackets are available for the PRO 3600, 5000, & PRO 9000). An ozone controller should also be used in order to ensure safe levels are not exceeded in some industrial applications. See the new! fully adjustable HVAC UV 560 Duct mounted commercial industrial ozone generator purifier. If a controller is not used (not recommended) adjust the o3ozone ozone generator so that the ozone or the problem odor can not be detected. Equipment specification: An ozone generator capable of going as low as approximately 20 mg/hr / 100 sq/ft of space and an ozone controller should be used to ensure that the ozone is kept at a safe level. The amount of ozone needed is different for every installation due to several factors: - 2. The level of odor or other contamination. The stronger the problem the more ozone is needed.
- 3. Air exchange, if the room or building has an exhaust, air exchange, etc. this must be taken into account.
-
- Application procedures:
All ozone generators are of a commercial design. Wherever possible the ozone generator should be run through the air handling system to ensure that people are not exposed to high concentrations from the ozone generator output.
Some models can be used for air purification of various types ising a controller to ensure the level does not go over EPA standards. There are basically two categories: Industrial, commercial - large scale air purification, such as food processing plants, fish processing plants, chemical plants, wastewater and chimney exhaust treatment, smoke control in bars, pool rooms, hotel room odors, etc.
(commercial uses typically need larger output units either for their high capacity or quicker results)

Commercial: UV ozone generators include UV PRO 550, UV PRO 550AT, UV PRO 1100AT, UV PRO 2800, UV PRO 4000, and UV PRO 6800 | If you need an ozone generator with adjustable ozone output, two new models, the UV PRO 550AT or UV PRO 1100AT are ideal. The "AT" stands for Adjustable with 48 hour Timer. These models produce the cleanest ozone ever possible - adjustable down to very low levels or high levels for shock treatments and are much more dependable than corona models on the market! Please call 330-497-6900 for information or to purchase. |
Corona discharge models:
PRO 3600 V1, PRO 3400 V3, PRO 3400 V5, PRO 3600 V5, PRO 5000 V, PRO 9000, or 0302-8000 Residential: Fully adjustable UV PRO 550AT or UV PRO 1100AT or
PRO 700, PRO 3400 V1, PRO 3400 V3, PRO 3400 V5, CA 45-2, PRO 3600 V1, or PRO 3600 V5,
New! fully adjustable HVAC UV 560 Duct mounted ozone generator air purifier. These instructions are for the Residential, office, and room air purification applications. Only recommended if you are purchasing a quality electronic ozone monitor. It is recommended to read about ozone's used for occupied air purification / ozone safety. If you are leaving for the day and want to purge more ozone into the air for germ killing action, we do recommend Shock treatments to eliminate the source of the odor. |
The numbers on the control dials are 1 through 10, though 8 is 50% output, and 10 is 100%. This allows significant control over the lower end outputs. It is best to try the 5 setting and below as this will usually be adequate. Turn on the unit and check after 30 minutes - an hour or so. It is hard to determine the correct level any other way because the ozone level will be affected by three factors: 1) Temperature: ozone is depleted much more rapidly in high temperatures, than in low temperatures. At COLD temperatures, such as freezing, ozone may not be depleted for over 30 Days. It is important to use ozone in temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. See understanding ozone depletion.
2) Level of contaminants: if the amount of odors, bacteria, chemicals, and other contaminants is high, more ozone will be needed for their eradication.
3) *Humidity: - ozone generators will produce more ozone in dry air, than in humid air.
- *with the exception of UV ozone generators, which maintain their output throughout the humidity range
Why are UV ozone generators a better choice than corona discharge ozone generators?
(For all air or surface sterilization Shock treatment applications such as MOLD, Smoke, Fire odors, musty smells, flood odor, protein decomposition odor, germ and virus remediation, etc.)
The Biggest difference between corona discharge and UV ozone generation methods is that UV ozone generators have stable ozone output levels throughout humidity ranges, while the output of corona discharge ozone generators is significantly reduced by just moderate humidity levels such as 40–70% (ozone output is reduced by approx. 40-70% with 40-70% humidity). In addition, with UV ozone generators, the cleaning requirement is almost eliminated compared to corona discharge ozone generators. Also, the ozone produced from a UV ozone generator is cleaner (no nitric acids) and smells better than ozone produced from corona discharge machines, and is just as powerful and often more powerful as ozone produced by corona discharge ozone generators.
UV ozone generators include UV PRO 550, UV PRO 550AT, UV PRO 1100AT, UV PRO 2800, UV PRO 4000, and UV PRO 6800 | If you need an ozone generator with adjustable ozone output, two new models, the UV PRO 550AT or UV PRO 1100AT are ideal. The "AT" stands for Adjustable with 48 hour Timer. These models produce the cleanest and sweetest ozone ever possible - adjustable down to very low levels or high levels for shock treatments and are much more dependable than corona models on the market!

If you have a very small ozone generator not large enough for the whole house, you can still create a clean air zone by shutting doors or treating one level of the home. |
