does it produce ozone

I guess it does. It produces a oder (very light) that smells like a coming storm. This model is only good for a room such as a bedroom.

Sorry, I don't think I am qualified to answer. Someone from the company that sells it would be more qualified. I am just a customer that likes the way it seems to help with our allergies and was sold as advertised and more.

It does. If you get close enough to it you can smell it. But otherwise it's odorless and noiseless.

UV lights of a certain wavelength emit ozone, so it's a question you should ask of anything involving UV. If the light wavelength is below 200 nm, it generates ozone. The good news is, above 200 nm converts ozone back to oxygen. The light used in AC4825 and AC5000 both are 253.7 nm, so they emit no ozone.

While I am unable to state how much ozone is produced, I can tell you how I use the unit. I put the unit into any room in my house that has an odor, run it for a couple of hours, and then let the room air out, and odor is gone. I also use it under sinks, or anywhere that I might have mold, and again it has worked very well.

No, it's just a fan wrapped in foam with a passive filter in front. It's not a high voltage air purifier that could generate ozone.

No, it doesn't. Filters that emit ozone attract particles with an electrostatic charge, and this one doesn't use that technology.

It does put ozone in the water. I drop the tube, with the ball on the end, into a glass of water, then I run it for 10 minutes.

Yes, when you turn the ozone up to the highest level, the ozone will not turn off until you do so manually. You can also use the AWAY mode which will turn the ozone up to the highest level, and run it on the units built in timer.

There is no ozone button in the unit and HF 707 doesn't produce any ozone, it just produces warm or cool mist. Their is an Ion button which gives the option to turn negative ion "ON" or "OFF" for air purification.

Per the owner's manual (pg 9)... "Is my Air Purifier considered an ozone generator? No. Ozone generators produce large amounts of ozones as the primary way to clean the air. The EPA does not endorse these products because they can cause ozone related health problems. The air purifier does not use ozone as the primary method to clean the air. It cleans the air by using ifD technology (intense Field Dielectric) which only generates trace amounts of ozone, substantially below the limits established by the EPA and FDA." "The ionizing process used by the air purifier produces small amounts of ozone as a byproduct. The air purifier complies with U.S. Government limits for acceptable levels of ozone (less than 50 parts per billion by volume of air circulating throught the product). People that are extremely sensitive to any ozone emitting products, even trace amounts, should consult a physician prior to using this product."

If by that you mean can you detect an ozone oder; no, you can't. I love this unit. It has a mind of its own , but it's never interruptive. Mine is set on automatic, and when it decides the air needs cleaning, it advances to a higher setting... Still quiet as a whisper. Greatest air cleaner on the market. If the negative ion setting bothers you intellectually, you can turn that feature off.

There are two dials on the front of the machine. One dial is for the ozone option, the other for the regular air cleaning option. If you don't want the ozone option, don't turn the ozone dial on. Each dial has a definite clicking sound alerting you that you have turned it on or off. Only the ozone option uses a plate (2 of them) inserted in the rear of the machine that creates ozone. You have the option of inserting one or both plates. You will have to experiment once you purchase the machine whether you will need both or not. Everything depends upon how bad the odors are you are trying to remove. The fan in the machine is very powerful. You can adjust the strength of the fan and ozone output by turning the dials.

Love it! I don't know about the ozone but I have owned many pets for years and my first unit was years ago and when it stopped working I tried many air cleaners and none worked on the issues that pets creates. Hope to never be without one.

The photocatalytic process does produce a small amount of ozone, but I too am wondering how much is produced by this specific model. It should not be as much as the ionizing filters produce.

Yes, but it will make some noise, as the fan is similar to those found in a PC. I wouldn't recommend keep ozone on when at home, since it can be hazardous to breathe.

Some air cleaners use ozone. However, this air purifier uses a filter. The only way that it can yield ozone is if there was an electrical problem causing arcing. I would say that all electrical products run this extremely low risk, and it has nothing to do with the air filtering functionality of this particular product. Also, if there was arcing, my feeling is that hazard due to ozone is the least of your concerns. Fire would be a real risk.

Yes it does.. it has a ball for water or defused air and a cylindrical one for either air or oil or water.. l have had my unit for about 2 weeks now and have used it quite a bit to make water and fresh in the air.. for a little unit it does well and keeps the level of ozone low enough and with a maximum 30 second timer so u don't end up making your self sick from it..

Hi Mark. It does not emit ozone. This model uses both HEPA and a carbon filter.
