Q. What does the Peak O3 Air Purifier do?
A. It purifies the air in your
home or office by breaking down and elimination pollutants.
Q. How does the Peak O3 Air Purifier purify air?
A. The
Peak O3 reproduces the
same effective cleansing agents that nature uses to purify the air.
Q. How does the Peak O3 Air
Purifier work?
A.
The Peak O3 uses electricity to split oxygen O2
molecules into single Oxygen 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. (How It Works)
Q. How does nature produce ozone?
A. Ozone is created electrically
during active thunderstorms. The electrical discharge creates a sweet smell
that we all know as fresh air. Ozone is also created by nitrogen oxides and
ultraviolet rays from the sun.

Q. Does the Peak O3 Air Purifier produce ions?
A. Yes. The
Peak O3 uses a
Needlepoint Negative Ion Generator.
Q. What do these negative ions do?
A. Most of the particles found in
our indoor air carry a positive charge. By producing large quantities of
negative ions, the Peak O3 causes those particles to clump together and
fall out of the air.
Q. Are negative ions harmful?
A. There are no known harmful
effects from ionization. Negative ions are found in large quantities around
waterfalls, ocean waves, and in thunderstorms, all of which are soothing.

Q. How do I know the machine is working?
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. If the smell is strong or bleach like
turn down the ozone knob.
Q. Is ozone safe?
A. Yes, but as with anything,
moderation is the key. Ozone in very high concentrations can be irritating
to mucous membranes and the respiratory system. The Peak O3 produces safe
and moderate amounts of ozone, but we recommend you set the square feet dial
properly. Before using the Peak O3 you should read the
enclosed instructions enclosed with each unit carefully. Ozone can aggravate
asthma.
Q. How does it compare to air filters?
A.
The Peak O3
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 Peak O3
produces activated oxygen which fills the room and intercepts the
contaminants.

Q. Will it work for several rooms?
A. Any
portable room air purifier should be sized using open area not several rooms.
Due to limitations of the fen they will not be as affective for several separate
rooms and will do very little for other floors. The Peak O3 Air Purifiers have
separate fan
speed and ozone output knobs to fine tune the purifier to fit your area.
Q. Where should I place the Peak O3
Air Purifier in my home or
office?
A. The
Peak O3 should be placed
in the room where you have the most pollutants. The Peak O3 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 levels of activated oxygen in the home. For
best results, place the unit up high in a central location.
Q. Is it difficult to install?
A.
No. Just place the plate in the
slot in the back of the unit, plug it in, and set the dial for the area you
will be treating. Install the Peak O3 in any room, but try to find a place
where it can be up off the ground four feet or more.
Q. What type of maintenance is required?
A.
Maintenance of your
Peak O3 is simple and requires little effort. For cleaning the ozone
plate, simply turn the unit off and unplug it. From the back of the unit,
firmly grasp and pull the plate out. Support plate in hand or on a firm
surface. Using a scrub brush and either a grease cutting detergent or
ammonia, scrub metal wires on plate until clean. Rinse in warm water and dry
completely. Reinstall plate in direction of arrows. It is that easy.
Q. How often do the plates need cleaning?
A.
Only when you no longer can
smell the ozone or every 4 to 8 weeks.
Q. How long will the Peak O3 Air
Purifier last?
A. The
Peak O3 is made of
stainless steel and solid wood construction. Because of the quality material
and superior craftsmanship that goes into each and every Peak O3, you will
be able to enjoy your unit for many years.
