"An Air Purification Technology for Every Air Pollutant."
Using Multi-TechTM Air Purification Technology
A unique combination of 5 leading air cleaning methods.

5 Leading Air Purification Technologies
* High-Density Air Ionizer for allergens, bacteria, viruses, chemicals and more.
* 99.97% Efficient HEPA air purifier Filter for particles including dust and mold spores.
* Germicidal Ultra Violet, (UV) Light for destroying microbiological pollutants such as viruses, germs, bacteria and fungi (such as mold).
* Activated Carbon Filter for chemicals, gases, cigarette smoke, and odors.
* Optional/Programmable Ozone for strong odors and filter sanitization.

Ionization Method
The Surround Air XJ-3000C ionic air purifier uses "needlepoint" ionization, which is an ion-producing technology that electronically creates a high density of negative ions through the use of electrode pins. Needlepoint ionization creates a higher concentration of air-cleaning negative ions than any other ion-producing method.

Number of Needlepoints
The XJ-3000C ionic air purifier uses one high output needlepoint electrode pin. A fan is also included to effectively distribute the negative ions in high concentrations throughout the room.

Needlepoint Composition
Corrosion-resistant, stainless steel needlepoint is used in order to ensure durability and high ion output throughout the life of the XJ-3000C ionic air purifier.

Negative Ion Output
12,000,000/cm3 (trillions per second)

Negative Ion Distribution
Even though other fan-less air ionizers (a.k.a. ionic air purifiers) produce a higher negative ion output than the XJ-3000C, its fan results in a higher negative ion output as you get a couple of feet or more away from the air purifier.

Ozone Output Settings
The Surround Air XJ-3000C UV, HEPA, ionic air purifier has Off, Low, Medium, and High settings to allow you to ensure the proper ozone output for each individual situation. Is Ozone Safe?

"Off" Setting
With the XJ-3000C ionic air purifier, the ozone production can be completely disabled, so virtually no ozone is released into the air.

"Low" Setting
On the low setting, the XJ-3000C produces ozone in intervals of 23 seconds "ON", and 5 minutes and 37 seconds "OFF". This is a high enough ozone level to effectively sanitize the HEPA/activated carbon filter, while releasing only negligible amounts of ozone into the air.

"Medium" Setting
On the medium setting, the XJ-3000C produces ozone in intervals of 2 minutes "ON" and 4 minutes "OFF". This is enough ozone to effectively sanitize the HEPA/activated carbon air filter, while also releasing enough ozone into the air to reduce odors.

"High" Setting
On the high setting, the ozone output of the XJ-3000C is continuous. This is the best setting for stronger odors and pollution levels.

Ozone Air Purification Research

Statements from Professional Studies on Ozone

ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning): "Ozone controls surface mold on packages and walls, and reduces scale development and decay. The presence of ozone . . . . significantly reduces the occurrence of mold."

Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES): "Ozone is one of the purest and most powerful oxidants and germicides known."

How Negative Ions Purify the Air

Virtually all particles in the air have a positive charge, while negative ions have a negative charge. In which case, negative ions and particles magnetically attract to one another. When there is a high enough concentration of negative ions in the air, they will attract to floating particles in large numbers. This causes the particle to become too heavy to remain airborne. As a result, the particle will fall out of the air, preventing it from being inhaled into the respiratory tract where it can trigger breathing and health problems.

The ionized particle will then be collected by normal cleaning activities, such as vacuuming or dusting. If the particle happens to be kicked back up into the air again, it will be ionized, and quickly settled out of the air once again.

In nature, negative ions are generated by processes such as sunlight, lightening, waves from the ocean, and from waterfalls. "Concrete Jungles" minimize the natural production of negative ions by disrupting the delicate electrical balance between the atmosphere and the earth. Surround Air XJ-3000C ionic air purifiers recreate them with an electrode pin ("needlepoint") to electrically produce negative ions. This method produces a density that is many times higher than the negative ion level found at Niagara Falls, the highest natural producer of negative ions and one of the healthiest environments in the world.

Inexpensive Air Filter Replacement

Since the HEPA air filter and the activated carbon air filter are built into the same filter cartridge, filter replacement for the XJ-3000C ionic air filter is simple and economical. The cost to replace the HEPA/activated carbon air filter cartridge is just $40, and only needs to be replaced every one to two years. The sanitization effect of the negative ions and ozone in the XJ-3000C increase the life of its air filters.

Clean and Easy Air Filter Replacement

Replacing the HEPA/activated carbon is simply a matter of taking off the front cover, pulling out the old air filter, and inserting the new one. The front cover then just snaps right back on. Unlike other air filters, no tools are needed, and the air filters can be removed without getting your hands dirty.

Inexpensive to Operate

The XJ-3000C ionic air filter costs less than $5 a month in electricity (if run continuously), thanks to an advanced, energy-efficient design. In contrast, most air filters add over a hundred dollars a year to your power bill, and some actually increase your electricity bill by $200 or more per year.

Quiet and Powerful Fan

On the lowest setting, the fan of the XJ-3000C Hepa & ionic air purifier is barely audible. Even on the powerful high setting, it is not disturbing. The fan draws airborne particles in through the Hepa and activated carbon air filters of the XJ-3000C, which collect and remove these contaminates from the air. 

Then, the strong air flow created by the fan blows the negative ions throughout the room, resulting in a much higher ion concentration than most air ionizers from farther away from the purifier. When the ozone is turned on, the fan also ensures that it is well distributed, which helps to prevent the strong "bleach-like" smell ozone can cause.

Everything You Want in an Air Ionizer

  • Fan + Needlepoints = High Ion Levels Throughout Room. 
    The XJ-3000C uses needlepoint ionization, the highest ion-producing method available. Plus, the fan ensures that the negative ion concentrations will be very high even several feet away from the air purifier. As a result, no other ionic air purifier ionizers a room more thoroughly.

  • Powerful Collection Method for Ionized Particles. 
    Many air ionizers do not have any way to collect ionized particles. Although magnetized, metal plates are a more convenient collection method, the Hepa/activated carbon combination filter in the XJ-3000C will collect far more particles, especially with the fan drawing them into the filters. As a result, a far greater volume of particles are drawn into the unit (as compared to metal collection plates), and the collected particles are far less likely to become recirculated into the air.

  • No Black Wall Effect.
    An air ionizer without a collection device will cause black wall effect, where the high density of ionized particles close to the air ionizer will attract to the closest, magnetically charged surface, which is normally wall space within a few feet of the unit. In the XJ-3000C, the ionized particles close to the air purifier are drawn into the air filter cartridge by the fan, where they become trapped.

  • Stainless Steel, Ion-Producing Needlepoints. 
    Needlepoints produce a higher output of negative ions than any other method, but most needlepoint ionizers use a non-durable material. Unlike other needlepoint types that will only last a matter of months, stainless steel needlepoints will last the life of the XJ-3000C ionic air purifier.

  • Combination of Other Technologies. 
    No other air ionizer combines ionization with Hepa and activated carbon air filtration, along with programmable/optional ozone capabilities.

How It Works

How Ozone Purifies the Air

Ozone oxidizes airborne pollutants, then reverts back to oxygen, transforming polluted air to pure and refreshened air.

Here is how the process works:

  1. Oxygen molecules (O1 and O2) are converted to ozone (O3) by either a high-voltage electrical charge (such as from lightning), or by ultraviolet light (such as from the sun rays).
  2. One oxygen atom (O1) splits off from the ozone molecule, and reacts with other particles when it comes within range of a particle and/or pollutant. Ozone is highly reactive, so it never fails to initiate this reaction with other particles.
  3. As the 2nd most powerful oxidant in existence, the single oxygen atom proceeds to "oxidize" the particle it reacts with. This means it burns the particle, which changes its physical properties. As a result, the particle will no longer be toxic, and will no longer be able to reproduce if it is biological. In other words, the particle becomes completely harmless.
  4. When the single oxygen (O1) molecule oxidizes the particle, it too is destroyed. This leaves behind the O2 it split away from, or pure and clean oxygen.

Effectiveness of Ozone

Effectiveness at Low Levels

In studies conducted at the Academy of Medical Sciences in Russia, Dr. Gubernskii and Dr. Dmitriev found that 0.005 ppm (parts per million) to 0.02 ppm of ozone added to normal indoor air (0 ppm) increased animals' resistance to the cold, to infection, to toxic substances, and to oxygen deprivation. A general increase in the immune "biological potential" and the vital capacity of the lungs was reported. Is Ozone Safe?

Dr. Gubernskii and Dr. Dmitriev also performed tests using less than .01 ppm of ozone in an air-conditioned office building, which revealed that "the levels of oxygen in the blood increase relatively quickly and remain at a high level for the duration of the experiment." They also stated that: "Atmospheric ozone has a positive effect on animals and people. It is important to note its positive effect on the breathing system, blood composition, arterial pressure, immune system, general feeling of well-being, and mental and physical work capability. The ozone-ion complex is a necessary component of fresh air that gives it a curative effect."

This same study, featured in the Russian journal Priroda, also reports a decrease in complaints of stuffiness (3.8 times fewer complaints).

Russian scientists performed a study to see how effective ozone was at improving indoor air quality in schools. Respiratory-related illnesses were drastically improved after the ozone systems were installed. The ozone concentration produced by the systems were 0.015 ppm (parts per million).

In testing performed by two scientists by the name of Elford and Van den Ende, it was found that ozone effectively destroyed bacteria at 0.04 ppm.

Many publications have published studies showing the effectiveness of lower concentrations ozone (0.01 to 0.03 ppm) at removing odors and pollutants. Some of these include the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES), U.S. Air Force technical publications, and Manufacturing Chemist.

Surround Air XJ-3000C has a Maximum Ozone Concentration of 1.6 parts per billion per UL 867 Testing Protocol (UL Standard = 50 ppb)

Effectiveness against Mold

A 1999 study conducted at the University of Minnesota found that both ozonated air and water inactivate mold, rendering the mold cells harmless.

Safetiness of Ozone / Is Ozone Safe?

Professional Studies

The Refrigeration Service Engineers Society has reported that electric-arc welders exposed to ozone levels of 0.2 to 0.3 ppm (parts per million) for a decade showed no adverse effects.

Also, according to the 1961 Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, "During the 80-year history of the large scale usage of ozone, there has never been a human death attributed to it." To this day, there has still never been a single human death or incident of harm attributed to ozone. 

This despite the fact that ozone was widely used in hospitals during the first half of the 20th century, and is still widely used in European hospitals. In addition, millions of ozone air purification systems are in use worldwide, both commercially and residentially.

By Contrast, well over a million people are hospitalized, and well over 100,000 are killed every year due to medication side effects, according to the FDA.

Ozone is completely safe and effective when occurring within FDA and OSHA standards of 0.05 ppm (parts per million). In healthy and clean outdoor environments, ozone occurs between 0.02 ppm and 0.05 ppm.

Self-Policing: In addition, the smell of ozone will become unpleasant and obnoxious well before reaching harmful levels, serving as a built-in and self-policing safety mechanism. If this happens, you know to make an adjustment (i.e. adjust setting of machine, increase air flow, place in more open/larger area).

However, at proper levels (0.02 ppm to 0.05 ppm), it will have a pleasant and clean smell to it, reminiscent of the smell outside after a lightening storm. Is Ozone Safe?
