Don't be afraid of this Air Purifier (Reply to this comment)
by eqdealer
Your review has a few misconceptions. First, the Ecoquest Air Purifier is not a filter, but a purifier. This unit uses an advanced space certified technology to purifiy the air, the same technology used in space shuttle. Ecoquest is the only company that has the rights to this technology and has received certification from the space foundation for applying this technology for residential use. This unit not only purifies the air that goes through the unit, but sends this purifying technology out into the air where it continues to work in your whole home. This does not work by a simply UV bulb, but a UVX bulb which interacts with a special blend of metals. Results of peer reviewed, published, double blind scientific studies show that Ecoquest's Air Purifier with Active Pure (RCI) Technology kills up to viruses, bateria and molds on surfaces.
Secondly, a very important feature that you did not mention about this unit is the needle point and radio wave ionization which causes particles as small as .01 microns to fall out of the air wheter they be dust, molds, pollens, pet dander or any other particle. This ionization works on radio waves covering up to 3000 sq ft (a 60 ft radius around the unit. Again, since the radio waves are sent outside of the unit, the air does not need to pass through the unit to be purified. This is why your father noticed such an improvement in his air.
Lastly, the ozone setting on your father's unit should never have been set so high. The proper setting should be based on the size of room that the unit is placed in rather than the size of the home. With the proper setting, the ozone level (ppm) should never exceed the level consindered safe for outdoors. The ozone is an optional feature and can be turned completely off. The other features in this unit continue to purifier the air without the use of ozone.It is simply an added feature which some prefer because of it's ability to speed up the process of purification. Another popular use of the ozone is to sanitize your home by setting the ozone on high power for 2 hours while you are away and returning several hours later after the ozone has dissipated. Allergy sufferers report a notable difference in quality of their air upon their return.
Don't be afraid to use this unit. It really does a great job of cleaning up the air and there's nothing else on the market with this technology. It sounds like your father was really benefiting from this unit when the ozone was properly set. I hope you still have it and if you do plug it back in and enjoy the benefits!

Re: Misinformation is abundant (Reply to this comment)

Man, you ozone fanatics really drank the kool-aid, huh?
Virtually all PEER-REVIEWED serious scientific journals say the same thing: Ozone is a toxic gas that has no place INSIDE an occupied building. Not everything that occurs naturally is necessarily safe. Not everyone outdoor process should be replicated indoors. A category five hurricane will clear the air, too, but I wouldn't want one blowing through my living room!
Just like the automobile company conspiracy nuts who think Detroit has been sitting on a 100 MPG carburetor for the last 30 years, the EcoQuest fanboys think the HEPA filter companies are bribing the scientific community to churn out their "lies".

The setting is the *maximum* space the purifier can cleanse at that setting. Depending on your home environment, the maximum setting may not (and often is not) necessary. Air flow (both amount and direction) and levels of contaminants vary in each home environment - therefore, so does the setting required to purify the air in each respective environment.

Misinformation is abundant (Reply to this comment)
by scoobieia
The FDA and EPA would have you believe that Ozone is a dangerous and toxic substance. Any substance can be dangerous if exposed to excessive amounts. Take Vitamin C (and most any vitamin) for instance. It's a necessary substance for good health. However, excessive amounts have very documented adverse affects.
I personally have been an allergy sufferer since early childhood. I'm allergic to pollen, dusts, ragweed, animal dander to just name a few. Since running the FreshAir purifier, my allergic symptoms have disappeared! I sleep better. My kids have noticed the same benefits. And that's just the beginning.
Do yourself a favor - educate yourself with the truth. Look into these sites and form your own opinion. The government agencies have been wrong many times before. You will be surprised at the documented benefits of ozone and research that is ignored by the FDA and other agencies.

The problem I ran into was that when we turned it up to setting that corresponded with the square footage, it became very noticeable and irritating. Yes, I turned it down, but why was this setting so incorrect?

Ozone isn't toxic unless it's in very high concentrations... but then so is water. Ozone is an extremely efficient disinfectant and biocide. Kills microbes. Check out http://fss.k-state.edu/research/reports/OrtegaFrankenHatesohlMarsden200510.pdf At worst, these units can generate enough ozone to make your sinuses hypersensitive if turned up too high. I don't sell these things but I own one. I wouldn't be foolish enough to turn the unit up so high it was uncomfortable. But then I guess if you haven't got the sense that God gave a grape, you shouldn't own a toothbrush.

Amazing results (Reply to this comment)
by hyonlyph
As I got older, I developed a mold allergy and now have suffered for years. I could hardly breath and coughing constantly. My wife has a rose garden and a rust colored mold grows under the leaves during wet weather. I react as if I had asthma. About 4 or 5 years ago I purchased the EcoQuest Breeze AT. It cleared my allergies completely within a few days. The only time I ever react to any mold or pollen is if I forget to clean the unit or wash the ceramic ozone screen. An added plus... No odor survives this machine. The house smells like fresh air year round and we have two dogs. It's amazing. People say our house smells "peaceful". No need to have it so high the ozone smell is strong. Keep the settings relatively low to where you can only smell it up close to the unit. It works.

Ozone is toxic (Reply to this comment)
by cikaris
Ozone is a toxic colorless gas which is especially irritating to those with respiratory problems.
The fact that it is produced in nature doesn't make it safe or good. Arsenic is produced by nature but that doesn't make it safe or good to consume!
The whole problem with the ozone generating 'air purifier' scam is that is contrary to basic science.
None of the proponents of these ozone generating devices have ever been able to prove that breathing ozone is necessary or good for anybody because it isn't.
The bottom line is that once the basic facts, such as that ozone is a toxic gas, are known by educated consumers then the whole ozone 'air purifier' scam collapses like the house of cards it really is.

Ozone, Smog, E.P.A. (Reply to this comment)
by rdpinions
Humans are sensitive creatures indeed. A sudden change,good or bad,to any environment breeds instant complaints. Ozone is produced in nature. It is non-toxic,and healthy. Ozone attaches to pollutants because of an opposite charge,and cleans the air. Without the Ozone process we would all die. We see smog when Carbon Monoxide is present at about 3000 parts per 100 million and Hydrocarbons at 100 parts per mil. Smog is produced by the photoelectric effects of the Sun's rays acting on Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Dioxide in the atmosphere,the end products of burned Hydrocarbons. Low-lying, heavily polluted areas,due to heavy hydrocarbons(smog),do present eye and lung irritant problems;but it's the hydrocarbons folks,not Ozone. Ozone just does the job it was created to do. The unit in question emits .02-.05 parts per mil. The amount of Ozone created by a single thunderstorm is about 3 times the safe limit for humans, per the U.S.E.P.A.

Slightly misinformed. (Reply to this comment)
by lenlindsay
Ozone produced except when purifier is off.
Screen on the back only helps protect the machine from excess dust.
Ozone is dangerouse the same way that water is.
At the bottom of a swimming pool you are definitely in danger from the water, but in a desert you need to have it.
Ozone is produced by nature. By the Sun, by thunderstorms, and always as a way to clean the environment. Too much will kill you just as too much water will kill you.
The setting that the individual uses was set for a 1750sq ft room. It is listed in the instructions as to the setting.

No it does not emit ozone only on Sanitize mode. Crank the purifier all the way up and you can smell it in the air.

EcoQuest Fresh Air (Reply to this comment)
by a1fireball
AS stated in a few of these comments yes it does emit ozone , but only on the sanitize mode, which none of these comments points out. It purifies with NASA technology and is also incorporated in the building of "The Home Of The Future"
