Because of the ozone feature, is it safe to use with pets (dog and cats) in the house?

Good to rinse the ozone plate with water every so often, And let dry completely or use hair dryer to remove ALL water before installing, be careful they are delicate. Replace plate every year or so, Or if ozone smell depreciates. Keep clean of dust, It will clog and burn out your fan motor. Too much ozone is not healthy for you so please use as directed. And never leave pets in the home while it is on full air cleaning mode.

Nope. Not harmful. I sprayed my room and didn't wait for it to air out and just started to watch tv. My asthma and my allergies were fine with no reaction. I was worried about my cat, but he was fine too. So final result, it's people and pet friendly and doesn't flare up asthma(I have acute to moderate asthma) and doesn't flare up allergies(I have acute to severe depending on the cause).

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.

Yes, it is safe for indoor use but I bought my primarily for the dog house outdoors.

All electric appliances emit ozone, however this unit (like many) has been approved by the state of California as being ozone safe, and they have very stringent rules. I believe that this is called being CARB approved. As such it is safe for use in the home, and anyone who says otherwise should contact the state of California and get an earful!

I would check to ensure the people staying in the room do not have a reaction towards ozone air purifiers. I would tend to lean towards using while someone is not in the room. If you have plastic in the room over time the ozone can deteriorate the plastic as well. Some people get a feeling of something caught in their throats as a reaction towards ozone. Hope this answers you question and use at your own caution.

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.

It will depend on the placement of the unit. Placed at the highest point in a central area upper floor. Open all interior doors and allow several (3-5) hours on high(ozone setting) with no one present ( Including household 2 and 4 legged pets). Also close all exterior windows/doors. I live in 2500sq ft with birds and dogs. When placed on lower floor upper floors are not so good. Placed on the upper floor the whole house gets equally treated. Set about on (ozone 5-6 Setting) in 2-4 hours.

First, I have to apologize because I haven't opened the filter yet, however, I have a similar model that has been in use for the past 10 years (thus, the reason we bought a new one). It will pretty much eliminate any odor, including pet odor. We have a dog and there has never been any indication of a "dog odor" in our house. As for the "ozone smell", some people like it, some don't. Personally, I find the odor pleasant. The nice thing about the model in question is you have the power to control the ozone stage. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes. Ozone is very effective against smoke odor. It can be used for cigarette/cigar smoke, and is very effective after a house fire.

Yes, but it will make some noise, as the fan is similar to those found in a PC. I wouldn't recommend keep ozone on when at home, since it can be hazardous to breathe.

According to the rep that assisted me he said, the O3 is not toxic but he recommended not having anyone or anything in the room that breathes. Just turn it on, take your cats on an errand for bout n hour. Go back to your place, turn off O3, open the windows or ventilate and you should be good. I turn it on, take my dog for a walk, then come back n ventilate. I love it.

Anywhere you want to refresh, and purify a room. Do not be in the home when the ozone part is on though. You can be in the home for all other functions.

Yes. It will take time for the ozone to dissipate after you run the machine. But, you can stay in the house as long as you don't smell the ozone (smells a bit like bleach). If you have a strong smell from the ozone you will need to do something to limit the airflow from the area being treated.Ozone can be harmful if breathed for extended periods of time, or in high doses. But, it has a strong smell, so you know if you need to stop the machine, get fresh air, or leave the area.

Yes, they recommend on any purifier to vacate people and pets while using the ozone cleaner..
