The LightningAir re-creates the same process that Nature uses to keep the air fresh and clean. Just like waterfalls and ocean waves, it generates negative ions that clear the air of dust and other particles. And, like a thunderstorm, it produces 03 to sanitize and remove pollutants without the use of fragrance. Most indoor particles are positively charged. The ionic purifier creates negative Ions that cause dust and other particles to fall out of the air. Waterfalls and waves at the beach are good examples in Nature. Ionic Purifier clears the air of: • Household Dust• Tobacco Smoke• Pet Dander• Pollen• Mold Spores• Dust Mite Dust• Insect Debris The sanitizer creates 03 that breaks down odors and other pollutants at their source without the use of fragrances. Ozone, 03 is created in Nature by lightning and gives off a clean, fresh smell after a thunderstorm. The 03 Sanitizer will eliminate or reduce odors from:• Pets• Tobacco• Cooking• Carpets• Musty Closets• Damp Basements• Mold and Mildew• Viruses and Fungi• Bedrooms and Bath• Recreational Vehicles• Automobiles• Boats/Yachts• Remodeling Fumes "The #1 Pollution Problem in America is Indoor Air Pollution" --U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Modern buildings are constructed so tightly that odors and pollutants are trapped inside. Nature's own cleansing process, which uses both activated oxygen and negative ions are left outside.Dust, pollen, molds, mildew, bacteria and viruses can fill the air in our living spaces. These can cause odors, irritation and allergic response. Fumes from paints, cleansers, carpets, pressed board, fabrics and other chemicals are also breathed in daily by you and your family.According to the EPA, many pollutants in the typical home or office are at least 10 times higher than in outdoor air. The average American spends 90% of their time indoors.A Person Takes Over 20,000 Breaths Each DayHave you ever walked into someone's home and noticed an odor that you are not accustomed to? Odors are constantly created in the spaces where we live. Finding a simple solution to clean air is not always easy.Air Filters Are Only Part of the SolutionAs air passes through a filter, small particles that are floating in the air are trapped. This is helpful in reducing particles such as dust, pollen and dander, but is only part of the solution. Most gases and odors pass right through even the best Hepa filters."We get 60% of our energy from the air we breathe." Here's How It Works... Waterfalls are a good example of nature creating negative ions.Our state of the art purifier generates both negative ions and O3 for your home or office. Before the LightningAir was introduced, we looked to Nature. Now the LightningAir provides the same process as Nature, reducing odors and purifying the air indoors.Ionic Purifier removes dust and pollen from the air.Negative Ions cause dust and other particles to fall out of the air. Most indoor particles that are airborne tend to be positively charged. Negative ions give some of the particles a negative charge. The positive and negative particles then combine with each other become heavy and fall to the ground.Nature is constantly creating negative ions to clear the air. Some examples are waterfalls, waves crashing on the beach and changes in the weather. The LightningAir accomplishes this natural process by employing a special negative ion generator.O3 Sanitizer breaks down odors and other pollutantsat their source. Lightning is one way that nature creates activated oxygen.Nature has many ways to produce activated oxygen (a natural air cleaner). For example, we've all taken a walk after a thunderstorm and experienced the clean, fresh smell in the air. That is O3 or activated oxygen. Normal oxygen O2 is converted to O3, which is commonly called ozone. O3 will break down odors and other contaminates out their source.The LightningAir employs a unique O3 generator to achieve this natural process. The Sanitizer has a separate control from the ionizer. Simply close off the area to be treated and let the Sanitizer do its work. It will take care of problem areas such as musty closets and basements, pet, tobacco and cooking odors that build up over time. A timer may be used to completely deodorize the home or office while away. Unused O3 will revert back to O2 in about an hour. Understanding the O3 Sanitizer™ O3 or ozone is basically supercharged oxygen. Regular oxygen is O2 and ozone is simply O3. Nature regularly transforms oxygen into ozone through forces such as lightning and ultra-violet light striking the earth. O3 then acts as a natural sanitizer. After a short period of time the ozone reverts back to regular oxygen at ground level. How We Learn About It We learn about ozone in two different ways. The first is the protective ozone layer in the upper atmosphere that helps to reduce the amount of ultra-violet light that strikes the earth. This layer of O3 is gradually being depleted as a result of specific pollutants such as aerosols and the older refrigerant gases. Steps have been taken to reduce these pollutants, but there is an ongoing concern about protecting the ozone layer. The second way we learn about O3 is the ground level ozone in polluted cities. Automobiles and industry put out excessive levels of hydrocarbons into the air through exhaust emissions. When ultra-violet (UV) light from the sun strikes hydrocarbons, ozone is created. For millions of years, nature has created ozone by sunlight striking hydrocarbons, emitted from decaying matter, as one way it keeps the earth clean. This is nature’s response to pollution in the air. When the exhaust emissions are high, the O3 levels become high as a response to the hydrocarbons. The level of ozone in some cities may exceed 200 parts per billion (ppb) on days when pollution is high. On the other hand, without O3 and UV light the earth would be an odorous place with mold, mildew and viruses running rampant. The forces of nature are designed to keep the outdoors clean and healthy. Unfortunately, there is normally very little ozone in our indoor spaces where we spend nearly all of our time. This is because the buildings where we live and work are designed to shut nature out. How It Is Used Ozone is created by man for purification purposes. It is injected in nearly all bottled waters and is widely used in Europe for treating municipal water supplies. O3 is also used for indoor air treatment but it must be employed in a manner that is both safe and effective. The typical way O3 is used commercially for air treatment is by blasting a high level of ozone into an unoccupied space. For example, if a hotel wants to change a smoking room to a non-smoking room, they use an ozonator such as the LightninAir Industrial Cleaner to pull odors out of the carpet, drapes, bedding, etc. Smoke damage restoration services also use O3 to remove odors. The FDA has approved O3 for treatment of air and water in food processing plants. Water damage restoration companies treat air with O3 at high levels in unoccupied spaces to get rid of smells as well as mold and mildew. Some restaurants, bars and casinos are now beginning to use ozone at relatively low levels to keep the air smelling fresh and clean at all times.High Level Use The O3 Sanitizer may be used to treat unoccupied spaces, including the entire home or office. This is the most effective way to attack microorganisms and reduce strong odors because it allows the O3 to go after pollutants at the source. Ozone has been proven to reduce levels of mold, mildew and other microorganisms. It will also help accelerate the dissipation of chemicals from new carpet, furniture and paint. Simply close off the problem area or shut the windows and doors in the entire home. Next, set the O3 dial to correspond to the size of the area to be treated. Then leave the space for 1 to 4 hours depending on the severity of odors. Upon return, open the doors and windows to let in fresh air until the O3 smell is gone. Perform this procedure as often as necessary until the odors are removed.Timer Many users prefer a plug-in timer, like is used on lamps, so that it comes on everyday for a few hours while they are at work and then shuts off a couple of hours before they return home. When they walk in the air smells fresh and clean and the O3 has reverted back to normal O2. Occupied Spaces Some users keep the O3 Sanitizer at a relatively low setting while in the home or office. This can hold down microorganism growth while keeping the air smelling fresh and clean. However, caution is advised because O3 levels may exceed those recommended by government agencies. Each home is different so it requires a trial and error process to locate the right setting on the dial. If you choose to use the O3 Sanitizer in occupied spaces, set the ozonator dial at a modest level initially and let it run for a couple of hours. If you smell ozone when you walk into the room, turn the dial down or off. On the other hand, if you smell household odors, turn the dial slightly up. Repeat the process until you walk into the room and do not smell household odors or ozone—just clean fresh air. Caution is the key to use of the O3 Sanitizer in occupied spaces.Caution Excessive ozone concentrations can cause mucus membrane or respiratory irritation. Individuals with serious respiratory problems such as emphysema should consult their physician before use. Those with a poor sense of smell should also exercise caution. If O3 is detected when entering a room turn the O3 Sanitizer dial down or off. If a dry throat, cough or watery eyes is experienced ventilate the area and discontinue use.The level of O3 generated at a particular setting on the dial will vary with humidity, altitude, household contents, level of pollutants in the space and other factors. The average person is able to smell ozone as the room level approaches 20 ppb indoors. The FDA sets an upper level of 50 ppb in continuously occupied spaces for sensitive persons such as the very young, the elderly and the sick. The EPA has set a target level of 80 ppb for outside air in cities, but that is regularly exceeded. A rule of thumb is to turn the Sanitizer dial off or down if the O3 smell is detected. Q. What does the LightningAir do?A. It purifies the air in your home or office by breaking down pollutants.Q. How does the LightningAir purify air?A. The LightningAir reproduces the same effective cleansing agents that nature uses to purify the air.Q. Is the LightningAir an ionic purifier?A. Yes. The LightningAir uses a special negative ion generator with dual needle points to produce the ions. The ions cause dust and other particles to precipitate out of the air.Q. How does nature produce ions?A. Negative ions are created naturally by waterfalls, ocean waves and changes in the weather.Q. How does activated oxygen work?A. The LightningAir uses electricity to split oxygen O2 molecules into single O atoms which attach loosely to other O2 molecules to become O3 (activated oxygen). This loosely attached oxygen atom is unstable and seeks out chemical compounds and other pollutants and oxidizes them on contact.Q. How does nature produce activated oxygen?A. Ozone is created electrically during active thunderstorms. The electrical discharge creates a fresh clean smell that is very distinctive. Ozone is also created by ultraviolet rays from the sun.Q. How do I know activated oxygen is being produced?A. Ozone has a very distinctive smell. So the best indication is your nose. You should notice a very fresh clean smell in your home or office.Q. Is ozone safe?A. Yes, but as with anything, moderation is the key. Ozone in high concentrations can be irritating to mucous membranes and the respiratory system. If you smell Ozone and you walk into the room turn the purifier down. If you smell household odors you may turn it up for a period of time Q. What is an ozone alert?A. Ozone is an indicator of pollution. In cities there are alerts as a result of high pollution levels from hydrocarbons produced by the burning of fossil fuels. When ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the hydrocarbons, O3 is one of the byproducts. Ozone can be easily detected and normally means there is also a high level of particulate in the air.Q. How does it compare to air filters?A. LightningAir does not rely on the air to actually pass through the machine to be cleaned like conventional air filters. It's not a filter at all. The LightningAir produces negative ions that cause particles to drop out of the air space. In addition, it has a built in sanitizer that attacks odor and other problem areas at their source. Q. After using the unit for some time, the ozone smell is not as strong.A. There are several possible answers.1. In long exposure to ozone, the nose becomes less sensitive to the smell. This is particularly valid if the ozone is on a higher setting.2. The plate may be dirty and needs cleaning3. A crack or chip in the plate will reduce or eliminate its ability to generate ozone.Q. What maintenance is required?A. The plates in the back are easily removed for cleaning. Simply wash the plates with soap and water, dry completely and replace. Q. How long will the plates last?A. Typically, the plates can last one to 3 years depending on environment and use. The plates are consumable and are available to be purchased.Q. Where should I place the LightningAir in my home or office?A. The LightningAir should be placed a few feet off the floor in the room where you have the most pollutants. The LightningAir is easy to move so you might want to try it in a couple of locations to help decide what works best for your environment. Some customers prefer to have more than one unit to better control air cleaning in the home. Q. If one of the plates is broken, will it run on one plate?A. Both the LA-2SPX and the industrial cleaner LA-3IC will generate ozone with only one plate. Removing a plate reduces the amount of ozone generated. Using one plate at a time allows the user to detect if one plate is bad.Q. How long will the LightningAir last?A. The LightningAir is made of stainless steel and solid wood construction. Because of the quality material and superior craftsmanship that goes into each and every LightningAir, you will enjoy it for many years.Q. Is it difficult to install?A. No. Just plug it in and set the dial for the area you will be treating. Install the LightningAir in any room, but try to find a place where it can be up off the ground four feet or more.
