Does this produce ozone?

It has an ionizing needle, so I think it produces those "feel good" negative ions.

Ozone system has a ozone generator to help kill bacteria in the water. But it only works on "boost" cycle. Just a fyi.

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 :).

I own this and have for almost a year--we really like it! It's a true Hepa filter but I don't believe it emits ozone. I've had filters that do that, and there's always a strange smell....this is a great one

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.

Sorry no we do not have that answer. It would factor on many things. It would depend on water quality you start with, run time, items in the bowl. The unit does come with an ozone destruction filter on top of the lid. Ozone at these low levels do not produce a lot of off gassing but anybody that is offended by the ozone off gassing should not purchase. Ozone destructs itself when it oxidizes contaminants. Ozone only has a half life of 20 minuets so it does not live on. Hope this helps.

If by that you mean can you detect an ozone oder; no, you can't. I love this unit. It has a mind of its own , but it's never interruptive. Mine is set on automatic, and when it decides the air needs cleaning, it advances to a higher setting... Still quiet as a whisper. Greatest air cleaner on the market. If the negative ion setting bothers you intellectually, you can turn that feature off.

Yes. The company calls it "activated oxygen," but that's just another term for ozone (aka O3 or trioxygen). Ozone generators are also used in hot tubs and swimming pools as a way to keep the water clean while reducing the amount of chlorine or bromine needed for sanitation.

Per the flyer for this product in the link I'm including below(if amazon will allow the link), on page 2 it says "Produces no ozone, fumes or other secondary contaminants"http://jonecacorporation.com/UVC_Air_Sanitizer/UVCAIR.pdf

No, this product does not emit ozone. The UV-C bulb has a special coating that prevents the release of ozone. In my view this product is a superior product over an electrostatic air purifier because of it's True HEPA filter. More air is circulated with the AC4825 and pushed through the HEPA filter which can capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as .3 microns in size. UV-C is an added benefit because it is proven to kill viruses and bacteria.

It can but I dont recommend it. This specific ozone machine might take too long to produce any in decent amount of time. I hope this helps, but I recommend you do more research

I don't think so but, you can shut off the ionizer function which, I think shuts off the ozone production. Check the Oreck website for specifics.

No. I believe it has an ionizer, but does not produce Ozone. I used it in a Large Yukon and did not notice that it ever did anything to help. It may work better in a Honda Civic.

It varies. Sometimes I don't notice at all, other times I do. I think you notice it more when the humidity is low and you've been running it a long time. Not horrible, just smells like ozone.

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.

Ozone is not emitted, it is created through a photochemical reaction at 240 nm, which is in the UV-C range. It is created back to oxygen at 320 nm.

It should, you need to keep the filters cleaned. I don't run the ozone all the time.
