Air-Zone®  XT-400 Remote Controlled Ozone Generator / Air Purifier THE WORLDS FIRST REMOTE  CONTROLLED AIR PURIFIER!!! Fully variable ozone output control from 5 - 400 mg.hr FREE BUILT IN TIMER ! Patented ozone generation The Air-Zone®  XT-400 is the worlds first remote controlled air purifier / ozone generator. It is designed for air cleaning & odor removal of medium to large sized rooms. It features a brand new patented method of corona discharge ozone generation, that's the latest in 21st century technological design. Providing air cleaning & odor control in bedrooms, offices, and rooms up to 40' X 40'.  These are REAL numbers, not overblown numbers stated by some sellers. The XT-400 can also be used to give High Ozone Shock Treatments to combat strong odors. With a true ozone output of 445 milligrams per hour this is truly a powerful unit. (Measured in a HIGH HUMIDITY environment) The fully variable ozone control & built in timer make it perfect for use in occupied areas, or for powerful unoccupied room high ozone shock treatments. We DO NOT use cheap MICA plates in our ozone generators. BEWARE!!! MANY OF THE OZONE GENERATOR BEING SOLD ON EBAY ARE NOT LISTING THEIR TRUE OZONE OUTPUTS. Our units have higher REAL ozone outputs than any other ozone generators listed on Ebay. There are NO BETTER Air Purifier / Ozone Generators being offered on Ebay. Please contact us to ask about any other model you may be considering. We strongly advise anyone interested in an ionizer, ozone generator, air filter,  or an air purifier to contact us and view this challenge before deciding on what brand to buy.   The ONLY way to compare ozone generators, is by the output of ozone in milligrams per hour! Ozone coverage is NOT based on square footage, or ppm ratings, it is based on actual ozone output ONLY! Square footage ratings by other manufacturers are MEANINGLESS! It is the total ozone output that counts! A manufacturer can assign ANY square footage rating to a product they like. That does NOT mean that it is true! How is a machine rated for 3000 square feet supposed to work through the walls? No tabletop air purifier can purify air in the entire home. Radio waves can pass through walls, but they cannot possibly kill bacteria, or any remove dust. The Air-Zone®  XT-400 has 400 mg.hr. (milligrams per hour) of ozone output. *Actual Ozone Output 445 mg.hr. Our Ozone outputs are rated in HIGH HUMIDITY environments. Ours are TRUE, not INFLATED Ozone outputs. Many, in fact most ozone generators sold on eBay are quite simply not being honest about their ozone outputs. Air-Zone® is a ozone generator manufacturer that sells directly to the public only, with no outside dealers.. We are members of the Better Business Bureau. MICA plate ozone generators typically only output HALF of their rated ozone outputs! If an ozone output sounds to good to be true . . . IT IS!!! Those other machines also claim to "remove" dust?  If so where does it go?!!! Compare Brands Air-Zone®  XT-400 Alpine Air  Living Air Classic Eco Quest® XL-15 445 mg.hr. 360 mg.hr. Small 37 CFM Fan Our unit is designed to produce Pure Nitrogen Oxide Free Ozone. An ozone generator should make pure ozone.  It is not meant to be a fan.  The ozone can be moved around the room with a table fan or a HEPA filter after it comes out of the unit. Large 400 CFM Fan Larger fans draw more dirt into the unit to make it a higher maintenance unit. It also draws more Nitrogen into the unit creating more Nitrogen Oxides.   Ionization Output Low Ionization Output of 10,000 per cubic cm. Outdoor fresh air has 200 to 500 ions per cubic cm.  A fresh clean forest will have 1,500 to 5,000 ions per cubic cm. Our machines produce a sensible amount of ionization. Ionization Output High Ionization Output of 10,000,000 per cubic cm. Why would a machine need to produce hundreds of times more ionization than exists in a fresh clean forest?  Read more about ionization below. Remote Control - Yes Remote Control - NO Timer - Two built in Timer - NONE Warranty Five Year Factory Direct from us, the manufacturer. Ours is a VALID UNITED STATES Warranty! Warranty EcoQuest now states that they DO NOT honor warrantees on ANY of their products offered anywhere on the internet, or on online auctions. Please contact us if you like to see this policy on  Their own web site! Low output ozone units have no ability to perform to kill bacteria or mold with High Ozone Shock Treatments Be sure and ask about an ozone generators ozone output in milligrams per hour. A 30 mg.hr. ozone unit cannot perform High Ozone Shock Treatments and cannot remove any odors, the best you can do is try to cover them up at that level. FIVE YEAR WARRANTY! Air-Zone®  does NOT drop ship our products from FOREIGN COUNTRIES, ours is a VALID United States Warranty! Air-Zone® Ozone Generators are shipped and warranted directly by us, the manufacturer, from the UNITED STATES!!! NOT FROM "North America" (Canada) "Asia" (China) Be sure and ask EXACTLY which COUNTRY is offering the warranty. It makes a difference!  It's YOUR money! BEWARE OF WHAT OZONE MACHINE YOU BUY!!  Air-Zone® XT-400 With the included remote controller, the user has control options never before available in any air cleaner / ozone generator!  The remote turns the unit on and off, as well as controlling the ozone output, fan speed, and the built in timer - all from across the room!  There has never been a more versatile air purifier ever before! The problem with most air cleaners is that are just not strong enough, or they are too strong as to be overpowering. Getting up to walk across the room to adjust the ozone 5-10 times an hour can be annoying. With the remote control you are less likely to over use ozone, which makes this a safer machine to operate. With the wireless remote you can now control exactly the amount of ozone you want,  as easy as changing the channel on your TV! Even with the remote control the Air-Zone® XT-400 is still priced LESS THAN HALF of any of our competitors machines!!! The new style, patented ozone elements inside the Air-Zone® XT-400 require no maintenance. They produce zero nitrogen oxides that can make some air cleaners dangerous and offensive. Powerful enough to clean the air in a bedroom, living room, or office, or even a small restaurant or bar 40 feet by 40 feet or larger in a matter of minutes!  These are real square footage ratings, not over inflated area ratings given by some manufacturers. Square footage ratings can only be determined by a units actual ozone output. Arbitrary square footage coverage numbers are totally meaningless since there is no standard on which to assign them. It is important to note that there is NO air purifier, ozone machine, or ionizer that can purify in the air in an entire house at once. Attempting to do so only leads to too much ozone or ions in one room, and not enough in another. Great for removing tough odors in large sized areas. Combats mold and mildew odors with high ozone shock treatments by attacking the offending organisms. It is the strongest, most versatile ozone generator available for it's price anywhere! All Air-Zone® ozone generators feature  United States Patented Ozone Elements Old style ozone "plates" may create large amounts of Nitrogen Oxides which are offensive, irritating, and dangerous. Air-Zone's patented ozone elements are in a permanently molded housing, that require NO adjustment whatsoever.  They also don't produce dangerous Nitrogen Oxides.   Air-Zone® uses 24 carat gold plating in our  United States Patented ozone elements to help prevent corrosion. We also use high temperature, shatter resistant, tempered glass in our innovative ozone elements. Old style ozone "plates" consist of flimsy, easily corroded, steel screens and delicate, thin pieces of glass or mica, less than a millimeter thick. They must ALWAYS be kept perfect alignment or there is a chance that screens will touch and the transformer will short out and become a fire hazard. We do not use MICA ozone plates in our ozone generators. MICA is the cheapest and worst material to use in an ozone plate.  MICA easily breaks, flakes apart, burns, and shorts out the generator.  Stay far away from any ozone generator using a MICA ozone plate. If not cleaned and aligned constantly, old style ozone "plates" will produce less ozone, and possibly even spark out dangerous high voltage electricity. Air-Zone's® patented ozone elements solve all these problems. Old style ozone "plates", first designed in the 1800's,  must be removed, scrubbed clean, dried, and be meticulously reassembled, or they will not work correctly. Even with all that work, their life span is notoriously short. Air-Zone's® low cost, patented ozone elements can be quickly cleaned with the special included element cleaning tool we include with every ozone generator.  They can be replaced in minutes with a screwdriver. Old style mica ozone "plates" consist of 4 separate parts. Each of the 40 pieces in a competitors 10,000 mg/hr ozone generator must be meticulously installed and aligned for the ozone machine to work properly. Our corona discharge elements are many more times powerful than UV Ultraviolet bulbs. Air-Zone's® U.S. PATENTED Ozone Elements We DON'T use cheap, outdated MICA ozone plates like these: Why use outdated  100+ year old ozone plate technology when  Air-Zone® uses a patented, no adjustment ozone element?!! The easy to operate Electronic Control Panel operates all the functions including on/off, ozone level from 1-10, and the 3 speed fan. The unit even remembers where you had the unit set last when you turn it on again! The "Burst Level Control" on the Air-Zone®XT-400 enables the user to set short intervals of ozone "bursts" that make this unit extremely versatile for room air purification. This will burst the ozone on for either 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or 60 seconds per minute, thereby creating a lower total ozone output. That means this unit can be used in the smallest of rooms without the ozone from becoming overpowering.  In addition there is a 10 - 90 minute countdown timer on the units so that bacteria killing High Ozone Shock Treatments can be performed easily in unoccupied rooms. Technical specifications Rated Ozone Output Per Hour:  13 mg/hr - 400 mg/hr ACTUAL OZONE OUTPUT: 445 mg/hr Our Ozone outputs are rated in HIGH HUMIDITY environments.

We engineer and design all our own machines. We have a reputation in the industry for having the best ozone products available today.  We offer the most features, the highest ozone outputs, and the best value for the dollar.  We are NOT a dealer, we ARE the manufacturer. You are buying DIRECT from the factory! Many people believe that they need air purification. This may be true, BUT they also may need odor deodorization and bacterial sanitization so that the air is naturally fresher because the source of the odor has been removed. Ozone helps destroy, not just cover up these kinds of odors Household Odors, Indoor Air Pollution, Fire & Flood Restorations, Mold & Mildew, Smoking Lounges, Hotel / Motel Rooms, New Carpeting Fumes, Pet Odors, Bars, Restaurants, Boat Bilge Odors, Greenhouses, Garbage Areas, Chemical Fumes, Furniture Restorations, Auto Restorations, Clothing Restorations, Vermin & Pest Control. Ozone Generators ARE BY FAR THE BEST air purifiers, and odor removers available today. Air filters and other air cleaning units cannot match the air cleaning ability of a true ozone generator. Ozone Generators are very powerful PROFESSIONAL tools used in hospitals, schools, and for fire & flood restorations. Now for the first time they are available at a price everyone can afford. The Air-Zone® XT-400 Super Household Ozone Generator / Air Cleaner is simply the best air purifier/ bacterial sanitizer you can buy for the money. What is Ozone? As shown in the diagram above, simple Oxygen molecules known as O2, can be turned into Ozone, O3, by the introduction of the high voltage electrical charge given by an Air-Zone® Ozone Generator. Ozone is considered an unstable gas, meaning it cannot exist for more than a very short time. Very soon after it is formed, nature forces the third oxygen atom of Ozone to break free, and oxidize bacteria, viruses and pollutants. Bacteria, viruses, and mold are all destroyed by this process. All that remains after reactions with ozone are the harmless compounds of pure oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrogen (H2).  The introduction of low levels of ozone leads to cleaner air to breathe. Is Ozone Safe? At low levels ozone is perfectly harmless and safe to breathe. At higher levels ozone can be used to completely sterilize unoccupied areas infected with large amounts of bacteria and mold. Air-Zone® Ozone Generators have the ability to produce both very low safe levels of ozone needed to purify air, and they also can produce the very high levels of ozone necessary to sanitize highly infected areas when they are unoccupied.  Most ozone generators either produce too little ozone to be effective,  or too much as to be unable to be used in rooms where people are present. Air-Zone® Ozone Generators avoid these problems,  and have the unique ability to be used in either type of situation.   How Do I Know How Much Ozone To Use? Ozone at low levels has a fresh, sweet, after a rain storm type odor. This is the level recommended for air purification. At higher levels ozone will begin to have a chlorine bleach type smell.  When to air begins to smell like bleach it means that the ozone level is set to high for air purification, and should be set at a lower ozone setting. This is very easy to do with Air-Zone® Ozone Generators because  of the built in burst timer included with the unit.  Most powerful ozone machines cannot be set to these low levels of ozone.   Why Is A High Ozone Output Considered So Important?  If an ozone generator cannot reach the high levels of ozone needed to sanitize unoccupied rooms that are extremely infected with bacteria, it is considered no more than a mere toy. Most of the low level ozone generators sold are just that, gimmick items that are considered toys. Running a low output ozone generator for a longer period of time is never as effective using a more powerful machine.  This is because the ozone is constantly breaking down, and reverting back to simple oxygen.    Ozone naturally reverts back to simple oxygen in about 30 minutes. Ozone cannot be stored, or made to last for more than a short time. Small ozone generators can never "catch up" and create the high levels of ozone needed to kill extreme infections of bacteria. If a room has a bad odor the best idea is to blast it out when no people or animals are present with a High Ozone Shock Treatment before using the ozone generator at the low levels of air purification ozone.  Think of it this way: Your car can reach speeds of 70 miles per hour or more, but that's not the normal speed you drive.  Yet if your car could never go above 25 miles per hour, you could never take it out on the highway, and it would be considered useless.    Here are some of the many applications for ozone Remove Household Odors Reduce Indoor Air Pollution Eliminate Cigarette & Cigar Smoke Odors Kill Mold and Remove Mold Odors Remove Hotel, Motel, & Rental Property Odors Reduce Pet Odors Remove Automobile Smoke and Mold Odors Remove Odors From Clothes and Furniture Fire Smoke Odor Removal Remove Odors On Boats Control smoke filled environments! Air-Zone® ozone generators destroy smoke better than any other method. Ozonereduces indoor air pollution by killing dangerous bacteria, and destroying pollutants. Ozone can reduce airborne and surface contamination's. Reduction of these contaminants leads to a naturally safer home environment. Ionizer and small ozone generators have NO ability to perform  High Ozone Shock Treatments. The Air-Zone® XT-400 packs a punch of delivering true ozone output of 445 mg/hr! That's more than twice the cleaning power of our competitors models at half the price! The Air-Zone® XT-400 has a fully variable ozone control to set the level as needed, perfect for any sized room. It is powerful enough to clean the air in a large living room, bedroom, or office, 40 feet by 40 feet in a matter of minutes! The Air-Zone® XT-400  is more than powerful enough for a large room, or a combination of connected rooms. You don't even have to keep this unit on all the time as once it has purified the air in a room, unless you want to "shock" a room that has odors. It works immediately, and within a few minutes of operation you will realize the room has totally fresh and clean air.  It can be used in any room of the house that has a bad odor, naturally without chemicals or cover up deodorizers. If you are having problems sleeping from the air quality in your bedroom you could "shock" the bedroom on high all day with the door closed. Then when you come home shut the unit off and air the room out. The room will have a fresh, natural clean smell, and I guarantee you will sleep better in a fresh smelling disinfected room. The Air-Zone® XT-400 is small, powerful, and completely portable. It can easily be brought to any room in your home that needs treatment. It is sturdy enough to leave on all the time if needed. The first time you turn it on and smell the fresh clean mountain air coming out of it, you'll  be totally amazed ! It smells like the fresh air after a spring rainstorm. If you have allergies to cigarette smoke, this is the only real way to clean the air. Ozone can kill germs and airborne & surface bacteria. Our customers claim to sleep better and awake without congestion. Ozone is the only way, natures way, to really clean the air to a pristine spring like day smell! This unit uses only 20 watts of power whereas conventional air cleaners use 300 watts, over 15 times more!!! Hepa filters are expensive and take large particles out of the air but don't make the air smell fresh and odor free.  What is the hidden cost of the typical air cleaner? Replacement filters!  You can easily spend up to $150 per year on them.  Paper filters, carbon filters are a real hassle, sometimes a monthly hassle,  of changing those messy, unhealthy, expensive filters. With an Air-Zone® Ozone Generator there are no expensive filters to replace, ever. Go to a store and put your nose in front of an ionizer and smell how fresh and clean the air smells. It's really unbelievable. But because they are small they cannot do the job.  Then realize our unit is 50-200 more times more powerful than these under powered units! True high powered ozone generators are extremely hard to find in the USA, and most cannot be bought over the counter. Most are sold for well over $600 - $1000.00. Compare our prices to any other machines on the market.  High Ozone Shock Treatments The Air-Zone® XT-400 can also perform High Ozone Shock Treatments are very effective for removing stubborn odors like smoke, mold, and animal odors. It is useful to "blow out" an unoccupied room with a large amount of ozone to kill many of the odors and germs that may be present. Using the XT-400's built in countdown timer this is a very easy task. This is completely different  from the use of ozone for low level air purifying. Air purifying is usually done with the unit set at a very low ozone output level. High Ozone Shock Treatments are done with the unit run at full power for a measured period of time in an unoccupied room. To truly kill germs and mold, the ozone level has to be able to be at a much higher level than we can normally breathe. Air purification levels of ozone, or ions, cannot kill most room bacteria and mold.   Ozone killing E. coli bacteria test A prominent university test has indicated that a 0.28ppm level of ozone is needed to kill 95% of E. coli bacteria in 120 minutes. Note that is is not a 0.28 ppm rating of an ozone generators output, but rather the ozone in an ENTIRE room. With its 400 milligrams per hour true ozone output the Air-Zone XT-400 can reach those levels in most normal sized rooms.  CFU = Colony Forming Units Small ionizer units cannot perform high ozone treatments, and thus cannot truly sanitize a room from bacteria and mold like our Air-Zone®XT-400 can. Running a small machine for a longer period of time is not the same as using a more powerful machine. This is because the ozone is constantly breaking down, and reverting back to oxygen. High Ozone Shock Treatments MUST be used to remove mold odors, mold spores, viruses, bacteria, and severe odors such as smoke, or pet odors. The Air-Zone® XT-400 is versatile enough for low level air purification, due to it's burst timer, or High ozone shock treatments performed in unoccupied rooms. Just set the countdown timer with the unit at full blast and return a few hours later to a completely sanitized room. No other machine has the power or versatility to perform both these functions. What you need to know about MOLD!!! If you smell mold there are live mold spores floating in the air. Breathing in mold spores leads to respiratory distress. If you smell mold there are live mold spores floating in the air. Breathing in mold spores leads to respiratory distress. Click Here to visit our Ebay About Me page to see our Mold Killing Movie! Stachybotrys Chartarum  (Toxic Black Mold) is a greenish black fungus found worldwide.  It colonizes in most building materials including, dry wall, carpeting, wall paper, fiber board, ceiling tiles, and thermal insulation.  The fungus can be wet and slimy to the touch. There are about 15 species of Stachybotrys world-wide.  This toxic mold grows in any area that experiences a period of high moisture. Wherever you live, this mold could be found in your home. Molds reproduce by making spores that cannot be seen without magnification. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually.  When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors,  they begin growing and multiplying, and soon the mold problem is out of control.  Many types of molds exist. ALL MOLDS have the potential to cause health effects. Exposure to certain types of mold can cause permanent, irreversible lung and brain damage, as reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. A one time flood can lead to a permanent mold problem. Mold can be killed and it's growth retarded by high doses of ozone.  Mold will NOT go away in it's own. Ozone Kills Mold! A sensible mold remediation plan including periodic High Ozone Shock Treatments help retard mold growth and eliminate mold odors. We can PROVE that ozone kills mold with overwhelming evidence. Please email us to send you independent studies to corroborate this. CAN UV LIGHT KILL MOLD? This is a quote from General Electric concerning their germicidal UV lamps. "No. Once mold has already formed, ultraviolet energy will not eliminate it." IONIZERS OR AIR FILTERS WILL NOT KILL MOLD SPORES! IONIZATION may make the air smell fresher, but it is not an organism killing bactericide in the way that ozone is. Ozone is the best way truly remove mold odors, and retard mold growth. IONIZATION is NOTHING MORE than static electricity, and it has no organism killing ability.  In fact if you use ionization to try and control mold,  the negative ions will drive the floating mold spores to your walls, floor and ceiling.  The Air-Zone®  XT-400 has a TRUE 400 mg/hr (milligrams per hour) of ozone output. NONE of the other small Ebay units have above a 10 mg.hr. ozone output! Low ozone units have no ability to perform to kill bacteria or mold with High Ozone Shock Treatments   Why is the milligram per hour output of an ozone generator so important? Because it is the only true measure of an ozone generators output. Ozone is measured by scientists in grams per hour. That is the ACTUAL MOLECULAR WEIGHT of the ozone itself. Any chemist knows that the molecular weight of a substance is the only true way to gauge it's quantity. Air-Zone®  ozone generators do not produce ANY measurable amounts of nitrogen oxides. Our ozone elements and transformers do not even become warm to the touch. Our units use less than 10 watts of power, yet they still produce tremendous amounts of ozone. Our units are completely safe to operate, and can be left on at full power for days without overheating. They can be used for low levels of air purification, and very high levels for unoccupied High Ozone Shock Treatments. Beware of homemade ozone generators pieced together with spare parts. Any ozone generator is a high voltage device that must be carefully, and safely designed. We are a PROFESSIONAL OZONE GENERATOR COMPANY. NO company offers more ozone output for the dollar than Air-Zone®! The Air-Zone®XT-400 has commercial grade shocking power. It contains a well as a countdown timer, and a burst timer so that it can be used to blow out a basement or be used in a very small room for air purification. If there are any questions you have about ozone please feel free to contact us The Air-Zone®  XT-400 is NOT a simple Ion Generator! Ionizers simply push around dirt to the surfaces in your room! Six months later you have MORE bacteria in your home than ever before!! Ionizers are basically just static electricity that cannot kill ANY bacteria! After a few months walls, floors, appliances, and furniture begin to build up a black layer of dirt on them. If you put an ionizer on a table near a wall, the wall will develop a black halo of dirt in just a couple of months. This will not happen with a true ozone generator. Realize that all so-called "air cleaning" ionizers do is limited to pushing around lightweight particles of dust. They cannot possibly kill odors, bacteria, or mold.  Mold and bacteria has been scientifically proven to be killed by ozone. The same cannot be said of ions. Some ionizers claim to have plates that collect the dirt. In truth they can only collect less than 5% of the dirt. The other 95% of the dust, bacteria, and mold spores end up on your walls, floors, and belongings.  How is an ion that is supposedly shot across a room supposed to travel all the way back with a dust particle from 10-20 feet away? The answer is it cannot be done. If in fact the ion does travel across the room, the particle it attaches itself to will adhere to the closest possible positively charged surface, that being your walls, floor, ceiling or anything else it is close to. Six months after you start using an ionizer you will have MORE bacteria collected in your home than before you started! The use of ionization only makes the problem WORSE! For removing odors, only OZONE works by by KILLING the offending organisms.  Ionizers have NO ability to perform High Ozone Shock Treatments  That are a MUST to kill bacteria and remove strong odors. Ionizers produce that fresh clean smell, isn't that enough? No, a fresh smell is no substitute for true air purification Ionizers can create a fresh smell. The problem is that it is only a cover up, temporary fix.  As soon as the ionizer is turned off, the effect is over.  With an ozone generator the bacteria that is causing the odor can actually be killed so that when it is turned off the odors are vanished, not simply "covered up". Ozone Generators can also be used to give high ozone shock treatment to unoccupied areas. These high ozone treatments are very effective in killing  the odor producing organisms. Once the organisms are killed by a high ozone shock treatment, or a series of shock treatments, the odor will be removed, not just covered up by the temporary effects of ionization. High Ozone Shock Treatments are very effective for removing stubborn odors like smoke, mold, and animal odors. It is very useful to "blow out" an unoccupied room with a large amount of ozone to kill many of the odors and germs that may be present..  A room that has had a previous High Ozone Shock Treatment will smell much fresher  than a room with an ionizer currently running!   Will an ionizer help with mold problems and odors? Absolutely not.  Ions cannot kill any organisms, therefore they will have no effect on mold or mold odors. CAN UV LIGHT KILL MOLD? This is a quote from General Electric concerning their germicidal UV lamps. "No. Once mold has already formed, ultraviolet energy will not eliminate it." Why are ionizers so popular? The answer is two fold; At first, when a person first smells the odor coming out of an ionizer, they are very impressed by the fresh spring like smell of the air coming out of it.  That fresh smell is what sells the product. Unfortunately that fresh smell is only temporary, since it lasts only until the ionizer is turned off.  Ions have no ability to kill any organisms, and therefore no odors.  On the other hand, ozone kills the bacteria and mold, so it removes the odor, it doesn't just cover it up.  Secondly, ionizers are very popular because they are very cheap to build, and sell for high dollar amounts.  The leading manufacturer of ionizers sell their product on TV (you know the ones we mean). They sell them for $350.00 or more, yet this product costs them about $35.00 to produce.  We know the cost to build these products because we are equipment manufacturers ourselves. Manufacturers make huge profits on ionizers, sometimes over 1000%, so they have no interest in ceasing to sell them. They are an easy "sell" because of the fresh smell to the unknowing consumer. If we wanted to sell ionizers for outrageous profits we could.  They are not hard to build. We choose not to sell ionizers because we know not only do they not work, they make bacterial problems worse. They do so by electronically gluing bacteria, mold spores, and dust to your walls, floor, and ceiling. Ozone actually kills bacteria, mold spores, and viruses, by destroying them, and leaving only harmless oxygen remaining. By testing mold spore counts before and after ozonation, by the use of a mold testing kit, we can prove ozone can kill mold and bacteria. Ionization subjected to the same tests, no matter how powerful, has any effect on the mold whatsoever. We have the proof ozone kills mold and bacteria,  please email us if you would like to see it. Air-Zone® ozone generators help eliminate odors by attacking them at the source. Some sellers claim that their units only put out a "safe" level of ozone, such as 0.1ppm, which is within the FDA and OSHA standards for ozone in an indoor environment. That is true BUT if a machine ONLY puts out 0.1ppm at it's output vents the ozone can never rise to a high enough level in the ambient air in ALL the air in a room to have ANY effect whatsoever! After running a generator that only puts out 0.1ppm at the output vents for one hour in a 24X24 foot room (576 Square feet) the ozone level will only increase by 0.00125ppm! Since normal ambient ozone levels are already at the 0.01ppm The increased ozone created would be insignificant. In other words an increase of 0.00125ppm of the ozone level WOULD NOT EVEN BE NOTICEABLE!  So called "safe" ozone units have no ability to perform to kill bacteria or mold with High Ozone Shock Treatments Air-Zone®  units are safe because they are completely adjustable,  yet have tremendous shocking power to remove strong odors.
