does the HAP8650B unit produce ozone?

It just filters dust as I live in the country and was trying to keep control of house cleaning time. It has helped a lot with my problem. I have to clean the carbon filter regularly, but the hepa has lasted very well.

No. It has 3 large hepa filters that last longer than other units I've used. I like the size and price of this unit. It moves a lot of air and is a bit loud. Not a drawback for me. I need background noise to distract me from my tinnitus.

Love it! I don't know about the ozone but I have owned many pets for years and my first unit was years ago and when it stopped working I tried many air cleaners and none worked on the issues that pets creates. Hope to never be without one.

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.

No, not at all the level of ozone produced is only for deodorizing and is safe as long as you don't inhale it directly out of the unit. It smells like a fresh ocean breeze. You can set it to run several schedules. The strongest setting is 30 minutes on every 2 hours. I have had mine on that schedule now for 10 months and it is still going strong.

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

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.

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

I had it for 2 years and never encountered this. I could see how it is possible for a unit to put out a slight ozone smell, like the smell just before it rains. No detectable smells have come from my unit, however.

There is no ozone button in the unit and HF 707 doesn't produce any ozone, it just produces warm or cool mist. Their is an Ion button which gives the option to turn negative ion "ON" or "OFF" for air purification.

Hi Mark. It does not emit ozone. This model uses both HEPA and a carbon filter.

Only ionizers produce ozone, this machine works strictly with two physical filters, one which needs regular replacement, the other which needs regular cleaning, but can be replaced too if need be.

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 think there may be a difference between an ionizer and an ozone generator. I'm looking at the same EPA page as you, compare "electronic air cleaners" to "ozone generators": http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/airclean.html#What%20Types

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.

no, none. the ozone is produced electronically and fan forced. Dont stay in house when using ! Do not breathe the ozone. Give it a couple of hours to dissipate and open windows when u return. PS Ozone is destructive to rubber like belts in electronics items such as VCR, and possibly some materials like some plastics. I recommend covering TV's.

This is from a blog page that quoted Aprilaire's response to her question about the 5000's ozone production: Aprilaires' response: Thank you for contacting us with regards to our Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner. Aprilaire shares our customer's concerns about ozone, and wants to reassure you that our Model 5000 Whole Home Electronic Air Cleaner is not designed to produce ozone. Ozone is produced as a result of many factors, some are man-made and some originate from nature. On any given day in the US, outdoor levels can be as high as 150 ppb. More polluted areas typically have higher outdoor ozone levels because there is a greater concentration of the components that create ground level ozone. Levels of ozone inside our homes typically range from 10 to 70 percent of the level found outdoors, primarily depending on whether windows and doors are left open. (ref. "Ozone Decay Rates in Residences", Harvard School of Public Health, Environmental Science and Engineering Program). The reason indoor levels are lower than outdoor levels is because ozone readily reacts with other gases and surfaces. As a manufacturer we look to government organizations to set the standards as which to develop and produce products by. As such, we offer an air cleaner that produces 2 ppb, well below the established FDA standard of 50 ppb for medical devices and the UL standard to evaluate products for consumer safety. The high voltage power supply contained in this (and any other) electronic air cleaner produces ozone only as a byproduct of operation; the small amount of ozone generated dissipates by the time clean air filters out and into your home. In addition, the Model 5000 removes particles from the air that have proven by research to be harmful to humans. There are a select group of people who are sensitive to ozone. For these people, we recommend using the Aprilaire High Efficiency air cleaners Model 4200 or 4400. For everyone else, the Aprilaire Model 5000 is the best air cleaner for your home.
