Does this unit produce Ozone?

Yes it does and it works Ozone reacts with ethylxxxx and controls fruits that madure and spoil fast Straberries last longer also controls mold growth

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.

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.

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.

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 use the Salton in my hot tub and it doesn't have an Ozone generator. I don't think you need anything special to use this. You only need a place to plug it into.

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 uses a filter rather than ions to clean the air. So it should not emit ozone.

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.

Winix website claims it does not. http://www.winixinc.com/why-is-ozone-such-a-big-deal--pages-130.phpClick on last word HERE, you will be at California State website CA.gov. CA required all air cleaners sold in CA to be tested & certified for ozone emissions. Winix received certification 03-11-2011.

I have no idea, Pat. I use it in my greenhouse full of orchids. I don't thinkmy orchids care about ozone and I've never used it. The owner's manual shouldgive you instructions on its use.

I have two fridge/freezer combos both running a berry breeze and have never noticed anything tasting or smelling like ozone. Great product!

you can smell the ozone when it is working. i would guess that it would effectively work for at least five or more years.

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.

No, But the ozone the machine produces is far more effective at sterilizing the air than uv!!!

No, not at all. I use ozone all the time and it hasn't caused us any problems.

I am a customer. I am also a scientist. For UV lamps to produce ozone, the bulb must produce a very specific wavelength of light. UV used to kill microbes and the like is UVC which does not produce ozone. Mere presence of high voltage als does not mean that you produce ozone. Do a search on ozone generators!
