Re: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purification Systems
The space guard may be the best over all filter for the forced air system. It is a slide in filter that lasts between 2 to 4 years with out a change. Itstarts at 10 microns and quickly gets to 1 micron, and filters finer as it gets older. The filter costs $40 per change, I do not know what the cost of having the unit installed on your duct, but it needs to be installed where the air enters the furnace at the intake, normally at the bottom of the unit. We also have a ozonator. It produces the good kind of ozone. The process of making ozone also makes negitive ions. The unit includes a positive ion generator. This causes the very fine particles in the air to become negitive or positive. Negitive and positive attract, causing the fine particles to clump together. When the particles become too big, they fall where they can be vaccuumed. The ozone kills dust mites and mold. it will nutralize many harmful chemicals in the home. Our unit cost about $400. They vary in size. the plates need to be scrubbed with ammonia and a toothbrush about 4 times a year. .

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purification Systems
The good kind of Ozone? which version of o3 is the good kind and which is the bad kind? O3 is O3. At high concentrations, Ozone is a pretty nasty pollutant. Think of it this way, it is used as a disinfectant because it quote kills the microbes that come into contact with it. People may be larger than microbes, but we operate on a lot of the same principles. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: d...@andrew.cmu.edu Tel:(412) 268-9081
[BlindHandyMan] ozone
Hey Dan, When I was in high school our science teacher told us that back in the 20s and 30s college dormitories used to have ozone generators running because they thought ozone helped clear the head and improve breathing. Bet you didn't know that either. (LOLLOLLOL) Next question, do you really care? (LOLLOLLOL) Must have been the same bunch who put coke in Coke?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purification Systems
There's no such thing as good ozone. There's only one kind and that's three oxygen atoms bonded together in a molecule. It's a deadly poison. I wouldn't have one of those ozone generators in my home.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purification Systems
Ozone is part of nature, such as a lightening strike, when you can smell the ozone. This cleanses the air and land. This is the good ozone. My ozonator has the same smell as the ozone from a lightening strike. Ozone will kill all bacteria, virus, and dust mites in the air by burning them with oxygen. I have a guide dog and had other dogs in the past, and the ozone gets rid of most odors. Tour house never smelled like dog, except when using the vacuum cleaner. One reason why I like ozone is that it neutralizes chemicals. We had new carpet installed. As you may know new carpet has strong odors from the plastic vapors. We put the ozonator in the room and cranked it up all the way since we were going to be out of the house a few days. We came back and had no odors. I believe that bad ozone is ozone mixed with pollution. I do not know when ozone helps pollution or opposes it. I have never smelled ozone on days with high ozone alerts. Since I am telling you what I believe and am not sure, do not believe it, let's find out what bad ozone is. A few years ago I was at a web site that explained the difference and I will look for it.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purification Systems
After reading this information you may change your mind. A few years ago I called a manufacturer about a cleaner that can produce ozone. I mentioned that I have a guide dog. His response to turn the ozone generation off or purchase a different model. http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html - Original Message - From: John Sherrer j...@whitecane.org To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 11:13 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purification Systems Ozone is part of nature, such as a lightening strike, when you can smell the ozone.
