A: Ecozone uses advanced oxidation and pure O3 ozone, a natural form of oxygen.
Q: I've heard of ozone but I really don't know what it is - can you tell me more?
A: Ozone is a form of oxygen that is produced by nature to cleanse and purify. Advanced oxidation is a more complex natural process. For over 100 years, large corporations and government agencies have used sophisticated equipment that produces ozone and uses advanced oxidation to purify large water and air systems. And now this technology is available to the consumer.
Q: But don't they give an ozone alert that means you should stay indoors?
A: Good point. The reason for the confusion is that there are different types of ozone. The EPA has a very simple explanation: “Ozone can be 'good' or 'bad' for people's health.” It is something “we live with every day.” Good ozone is what we find in the protective ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. Bad ozone is what they mean when they give an alert; it is also called 'ground-level ozone.' (Source: United States Environmental Protection Agency, http://www.epa.gov.)
Q: So what kind of ozone does the Ecozone Purifier use?
A: The Ecozone Purifier produces ozone with light energy, the way the sun does. So it is only emitting pure “Good” ozone that has no harmful by-products. Some other consumer air purifiers do produce ozone, but they do it with high voltage, so it contains harmful nitrogen compounds just like the “Bad” ground-level ozone
Q: Does Ecozone filter the air?
A: No. An air filter will catch and hold particles found in the air - a Ecozone unit will destroy the bacteria, and get rid of smells. A Ecozone unit does not have the maintenance issues associated with air filters - an air filter will require regular cleaning (not a nice job) and some even recirculate the particles that were removed from the air! A Ecozone unit uses advanced oxidation to neutralise odour and smells.
