Ozone Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The ozone output of the Aero-Pure™ is significantly higher than UV light or other corona discharge ozone generators. To handle higher loading and clarification, simply increase the run time. If you have an extreme application, the units can be ganged together to achieve higher treatment capabilities.
The Aero-Pure™ system uses only 60 watts of power while running. That is only pennies a day.
Ozone has an insignificant affect on the pH of the water. Over time it may decrease the pH slightly.
Depending on the location of the enclosure, you will need to check and clean the cooling fan intake monthly. The high output ozone cell will operate without maintenance for approximately 5 years or more in typical applications.

When used properly ozone is safe. Ozone concentration is regulated by OSHA in the workplace. The 8 hour exposure limit for ozone is 0.1PPM inside a building. If ozone concentration levels increase beyond this limit it will typically create a discomfort such as coughing, throat irritation, shortness of breath, etc. In extreme cases, inhaling ozone can result in a number of health effects that are observed in broad segments of the population. Some of these effects include: induction of respiratory symptoms, decrements in lung function, and inflammation of airways.
