What is the life of the ozone generating mechanism? Or how many hours of operation can I get before the ozone starts to wear out?

Ozone generators work by electrically charging oxygen (o2) and converting it into ozone (o3). One of the big advantages of this product is that it it doesn't run constantly. By turning itself off it saves on wear and tear. Thanks.

Regarding the "ozone" concern.....the company states the following:"No ozoneA specially designed UV-C light bulb is used so no ozone is produced. The UV-C light bulb (model LB1000) needs to be replaced every six to eight months depending on use."I personally had one and loved it. Ran smoothly!

While I am unable to state how much ozone is produced, I can tell you how I use the unit. I put the unit into any room in my house that has an odor, run it for a couple of hours, and then let the room air out, and odor is gone. I also use it under sinks, or anywhere that I might have mold, and again it has worked very well.

Mine has been working well for a few years, but no longer makes ozone, though it cycles and pumps air. The repair part costs $49.99 and a new unit is only $20 more. Overall, unsure which to choose, but without a filter and an air dryer, such units do have a finite life before the ozone unit itself needs replacement.

I have thought of just unplugging it for a few hours a day, don't know how else to extend the life. It is rather expensive. Good luck!

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

Hi Don, I couldn't put a specific length of time for the longevity of the Redibreeze,but I have customers who have had their Redibreeze for more than 10 years! Something I would like to bring to your attention is our Lifetime guarantee! If at any time during your ownership of an Oral Breeze product, should the workmanship fail, we will replace your unit with a new unit for a small S&H fee! Doesn't get any better than that! Please feel free to contact me if I can answer any further questions. Bets Regards, Janet

There is a button called, "Away." Set fan and purify to high, set the number of hours, and push "away." It will blast ozone for the number of hours you set it for.

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.

That's what ozone machines do... they generate ozone. Maybe it is not clearly so listed in the title any longer, and I have dial up and cannot check. As my review says, I do not believe it produces high levels of ozone... I can breathe freely with my face an inch from it inhaling full deep breaths without even a cough... but the ozone is powerful enough to smell... even a room away... I believe it works great initially, but it diminishes too quickly over time... as I state in my review, the plates do not seem to last too long before they drop off the % of O3 they produce... the ionization is a separate issue. Personally, I think an Alpine air would be a better investment. I owned one of those in the past. While this is tiny and less expensive, I don't think the single, small plate lasts long enough... and there is another part, the bulb/filter I think, that is supposed to be replaced every 6-12 months or so... and they do not advertise that up front, which in my opinion is dishonest. They should advertise: this contains an ozone plate that needs to be replaced every 6-12 months for $12.95 and the bulb/filter should be replaced every 6-12 months for $59.95 (or whatever the time and amounts are). Also, if you can find one, an ozone machine that produces ozone solely from a UV-bulb produces purer 03 than an electrical arch (but you cannot look at the UV light or it will damage your eyes, so the UV light has to be enclosed somehow, and with some type of fan. 03 will also dry rot fabrics, elastic, carpet, fabric, even varnish and stain... so it needs to be in an area with good ventilation... look for my review.

No, it does not generate ozone when the Plasmacluster ion function switch is on. I have had the unit running constantly since I purchased it a few months ago & not smelled anything.

You should really ask the company, but in my opinion,it is for a couple of hours. If you leave any household machine on for days, it will burn up. See other reviews on how these machines failed.

I only use mine for a couple hours while riding my bicycle. Check the instructions for the duration of time it is suppose to last. If you are experiencing less than normal operating time, you should be able to replace it.

I have not the slightest idea, It has never crossed my mind about the emissions. I honestly did not know there was a label with that information. Since this is not a professional model, more of a weekender, I would not expect it to last 300 hours (emission period that is) The unit I am sure will.

Mine lasted for about eight hours of continuous usage. After that it needs about a gallon of water.

Ozone takes hours to dissipate (half life is 30 minutes). By ventilating it can speed up lowering its concentration but I would still stay out for a while. It is a great cleaner but has to be used correctly. Hotels use ozone to remove cigarette odors for the next guest.

THANK YOU! I am so excited to see this. I bought it a year ago, but turned it off month ago because I hated the smell it produced. I wondered if the smell was ozone, but it's not supposed to produce ozone. However, a friend said that the ionization (the PlasmaWave part) turns oxygen into ozone, so...it does produce ozone. Glad to know that I can turn off the PlasmaWave. I'm going to clean it out and start it up again and see if it still produces that unpleasant smell.
