I'd like to see the research on this....if it's really beneficial or a gimmick. And what maintenance is involved? Longevity?

Can be dangerous if not used properly or for to long. Ozone is corrosive to metals as well. Best left to professionals to use when needed. | ||

ozone gas You definitely have to be careful with it which I am, and it's not something you use on a daily basis. And you can't have any people, animals or plants in the area where you are using it. I don't have any pets or plants so that's not an issue. As far as maintenance, there are no filters, an electrode tube generates the ozone and a fan blows it out. Mike | ||

Ozone Generator
I have an older model Ozone generator, a Salon Aire 2000, that was given to me years ago when one of my former employers was cleaning some junk out. It runs very well, and is super effective at cleaning the air of foul odors, but my wife couldn't stand the ozone "smell" in the house and it now resides on a shelf down in my basement! I know they were extremely expensive machines new, but I imagine one of these could be purchased relatively cheap now. While I've only ever used mine sparingly, I didn't realize just how dangerous these machines were! Guess mine will remain a shelf dweller!

Good for deordorizing cloths, get a big box, cover the purifier and laundry basket, run for a bit and they’ll smell like they were outside. You do have to be careful with them though. | ||

Careful there-too much ozone can weaken fabric. | ||

Hi guys, I've learned a lot about ozone thanks to your knowledge. I was told the copier machines produce certain amount of ozone and it·s that strong smell they emanate and I dislike. Thank you. Gus | ||

I've used Alpine Industries ozone/ionization purifiers since late 1990's w/o negative effect. I clicked on the OP's link but it wasn't working so I didn't see exactly what he was referring to. The Alpines are never a problem b/c they never produce enough ozone to be harmful, less than 50ppm(parts per million). The have, as well I have still, many testing results and convincing scientific articles about the safety of ozone....at or below that level!!!! I know many more companies have made them since then....but don't know if they made them to the same standards as Alpine (ie Ecoquest)
