Biozone SafeZone™ / Guaranteed Safe Ozone Levels!

Applies to all Biozone Air Purification Units except Commercial Ozone Generators

Ozone generators have been used for over a hundred years for purification and sanitation purposes.  Ozone's properties as a bactericide, viricide, fungicide and deodorizer are well accepted by the scientific community.  Industry and the general public have eagerly accepted ozonation as a water and air purifier.  However, it is also well established that exposure to high levels of ozone can be harmful to health, and in particular can be a respiratory irritant.  This has led to a controversy as to the safety of such ozone generators for general public use.  There is no consensus as to when ozone levels become harmful to humans, but based on available research, regulatory agencies such as the FDA have set safe levels at .05 ppm (parts per million) for continual exposure and OSHA has set 0.1 ppm as a maximum for 8 hour exposures. Other agencies and organizations have similar recommendations. Previously, all ozone generators used for air purification had the potential to produce ozone levels over these recommendations.  To combat this problem, some manufacturers of portable ozone air purifiers introduced models with ozone sensors that automatically shut off the units when ozone levels rise above a prescribed limit.  While this is a step in the right direction, these devices are not fool proof, nor do they seem to work well in all size environments. They also do nothing to control the "blasting" of high concentrations of ozone when operating.  Biozone has developed a patented method to ensure safe ozone levels called SafeZone™. This unique technology will not allow the accumulation of ozone to exceed recommended, safe levels. It is a fail-safe method.  It does not rely on electronic gadgetry or inexpensive sensors, but combines the science of ultraviolet radiation, atom disassociation, quantum yield, and optimization of unit geometry. In practical terms, this means as the ozone level in an environment begins to rise, the machine will automatically reduce the amount of ozone being produced, thereby keeping the accumulation at low levels.  There is no longer a reason to have concern about the potential harmful effects of too much ozone.  Biozone's air purifiers provide all the wonderful, powerful benefits of ozone but with none of the worry associated with previous ozone devices. (Biozone Purifiers Compared to Others)

Although this system is mostly fail-proof, there is a limit to how far you can go to ensure safe levels of ozone. As an example, the model 3000, which is designed for up to 3000 sq. ft, can be used in as small as a 300 sq. ft. room on high output, and the ozone level will not rise above .05 ppm (parts per million). However, if put it in a 120 sq. ft. room, the level would rise and be maintained at about .1 ppm. This is still safe for 8 hours of exposure, but in reality it is a very uncomfortable level. So the Biozone air cleaners offer a great range of safety, but there are limits. (Sizing Reference Guide).

Safe Volt, Biozone Air Purifiers
Electronic Power Source

Biozone's air cleaners use a new and exciting power source to drive the ultraviolet lamps used in its units - and it really does make a difference.

Here's why.

Traditionally, UV lamps have been powered by magnetic ballasts similar to those used to power common fluorescent bulbs. The problem with those ballasts was twofold: inconsistent electrical output and an annoying hum. This contributed negatively to the performance and function of ultraviolet light air cleaners.

A product of years of research and development, Biozone's SafeVolt^tm technology represents a dramatic improvement in the method of powering such lamps. The solid state, 12VDC power source features constant wattage circuitry for consistent and safe power output.

This consistent power output effectively eliminates the "blasts" of ozone that often cause other units to produce ozone at unsafe levels. Plus, 12-volt technology costs just pennies a day to operate. It's safe for operation around children and pets and will not overheat if left on for extended periods - these units are designed for continuous, constant use. Plug it in and forget about it!

We know that there are hundreds of air cleaners on the market.  We're confident that if you know what to look for, you'll see that Biozone's offers you a truly affordable, effective product backed by the best warranty in the industry. (3 Year Warranty)

Review The Facts

FACT: Indoor air is polluted by toxins from a host of sources: Tobacco smoke, grease, mold, mildew, viruses, bacteria, lead, asbestos, carpeting, paneling, vinyls, particle boards, plastics, insulation, waxes, paints, air fresheners, fabric protectors, polishes, cleaning chemicals, pesticides, aerosol sprays, etc.

FACT: Indoor air quality problems produce a wide range of symptoms, which generally include the following:  headaches, fatigue, eye irritations, asthma attacks, breathing problems, dizziness, memory loss, depression, irritability, skin irritations, sinus infections, colds, flu, and viruses.

FACT: Air filters, found in nearly every commercial building, including hospitals, are only a partial solution.  It is impossible to draw all the air in a building through a filter. Filters also do not kills germs and viruses nor do they remove the microscopic pollutants responsible for 90% of all respiratory ailments. Also, even the best HEPA filter will only remove particles larger than 0.03 microns.

Biozone Maintenance

There is little or no maintenance required on Biozone units. If the model has a filter screen on the back, (2000 models and larger), it will accumulate dust and debris and can be removed and washed by hand with soap and water. Make sure the filter is dry before reinstalling. If the unit is in a smoky or dusty areas it is recommended that that the unit be opened and clean the UV lamp periodically with a soft cloth and alcohol (make sure the unit is unplugged before opening the case. Failure to clean the lamp will effect the production ability of the lamp.

UV Lamp Replacement

After approximately 1 year of continuous use, (9,000 hours, 2 - 3 years of intermittent use) the UV lamp will lose its eradicating power and needs to be replaced.
