Peak O3 Air Purifier Sanitizing Air Cleaner
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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. (Effects of Negative Ions)

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. (Peak O3 compared to high priced Living Air Alpine)
