The UV PRO 550 can be used for air purification in large areas when distributed effectively by air handling systems (up to 6,000 sq. ft.), and is ideal for shock treatments (higher levels) for killing germs in moderately sized areas (up to approx. 1000 sq. ft.).                                                UV PRO 550 Ozone Generator                                                                                   All of the ozone generators we offer are built in North America! 6 Year Warranty!  This unit is not affected by Humidity. Great for Auto Detailing, Bars, Mold, Smoke, Odors This Ultraviolet UV ozone generator Produces ZERO nitrogen oxides, and the ozone output is unaffected by high humidity (two characteristics not possible with corona discharge ozone generators unless only pure oxygen is used for feed gas).  For Example, with just 50% humidity, this unit will produce as much ozone as a corona discharge ozone generator rated at 1,400mghr, and as some competitors do not rate ozone output conservatively, this unit will exceed the output of many machines rated much higher; even outperforming some rated at 2,000mghr. An analogy of a corona discharge system and how it is affected by humidity: Static electricity is a corona discharge;Most know that when the environment is very dry (as with freezing temperatures in the winter) static electricity discharge is often experienced.  But in a warm or humid environment, the static electricity does not happen easily.  The same effect is realized for ozone generators using the corona discharge technology.  The corona process of an ozone generator is an abundance of controlled static electricity in a box and is greatly affected by the atmospheric humidity.  Humidity reduces corona discharge activity.  Regardless of claims, all corona discharge ambient air ozone generators are rated in a dry environment below 10% humidity.  This is because some users, such as those in Arizona and other dry or desert areas will experience the maximum output from their corona discharge ozone generators in these areas because of the ultra-low humidity conditions, which is sometimes in the single digits. Additional Benefits of this UV model: less cleaning required & easier to clean - just wipe off the 2 ozone bulbs every 6 months of use! this unit produces 700mghr for the first 170 hours of use, then levels off to the rated 550mghr. UV (ultraviolet) ozone production is not affected by humidity   UV Ozone Bulbs vs. UV Sterilizer Bulbs Note that this is not simply a UV sterilizer, but a high output UV ozone generator.There is a big difference in the two types of UV bulbs used - often they are confused.  o3ozone will be offering UV sterilizer bulbs that are interchangeable with the UV ozone producing bulbs of this machine for those wanting small room occupied air purification without high ozone production.The bulbs included in this machine produce high levels of ozone for shock treatments.  With these ozone producing bulbs, ozone air purification of a room can usually be obtained in a just few minutes of use.  Longer treatment times will result in high levels of ozone for shock treatment use - these high levels are for germ and mold killing treatments and should be done while no one is in the room.    Specifications for UV PRO 550 Ozone Generator   Generation method: UV (ultraviolet) ozone technology. 2 15" UV tubes.Supply Gas: Ambient AirOzone output: Exeeds output of some corona machines rated at 2,000 mg/hrControl options: On off rocker switch standard on all models.Dimensions: 25"LX 5"W X 6.25"H / 158mm H X 128mm W X 625mm LElectrical: 120 Volt, .7 Amp, 75 Watt, 50/60Hz 240 Volt, .35 Amp, 40 Watt, 50/60Hz (240 volt is additional cost)Fan Size: 105 cfmConstruction: Stainless steel inner chassis with a high impact extruded PVC cabinet.Special features: The UV PRO 550 comes equipped with 4" ozone output and fresh air input spouts.

In partnership with the world's best ozone authorities and users of ozone treatment technology, you may witness and even participate in the further development of this exciting new field.   Drinking water treatment; industrial and municipal wastewater treatments; odor control; air purification; agricultural , food processing, agriculture, and marine uses are among those areas where ozone treatment has been shown to have exceptionally beneficial effects.   Ozonation is the newest frontier in the effort to improve the human environment. Whether you have a casual interest or you are one of the growing number of users of ozone technology or a researcher in the ozone field, the IOA is the only international organization that can help you to find the important information and support that you may need. Let the IOA place you into the mainstream of the rapidly developing ozone technology."   FDA APPROVED for MICROBIAL TREATMENT: The Food and Drug Administration has recently amended its food additive regulations to permit ozone use as an anti microbial agent.   The amendment, published in the Federal Register on June, 28 2001 allows for ozone use in gaseous and aqueous uses, and for safe and effective anti microbial treatment of meat, poultry, and other food products.   "CNN /WORLD NEWS report - "Firm sees ozone as food disinfectant" "With chlorine you have ongoing costs, and there are some quite significant environmental and safety costs which don't exist with ozone. In Europe and the UK, chlorine has been banned as a disinfectant for organic food -- a rapidly growing sector of the food industry.  And last July the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved ozone to disinfect food." After reading the CNN article (link on me page), you can understand when we say that ozone is safer than bleach!   Return to top   Questions and Answers About Ozone: The health and safety of ozone gas IS IT SAFE TO USE OZONE ? One of the more common questions is about ozone use and its safety. Ozone has been known for almost a century now, and quite a lot is known about it. When used correctly, like cleaners or chemicals, ozone is safe. As with other cleaners, chemicals, and devices, when instructions are not followed, ozone can and sometimes has been misused by some.  Ozone is an oxidizer found naturally in the environment we live and breathe in.  Ozone in sufficient shock treatment concentration and time will oxidize the throat and respiratory tract.  Short over-exposure is usually not dangerous and the symptoms include dry mouth, sore throat, and headaches in some.  These symptoms can be relieved by the simple application of fresh air.  It is also good news that there are no deaths reported from ozone's misuse.For most applications, we recommend that ozone be used in the shock treatment manner. This is a very effective use for an ozone generator which has the ability to sterilize rooms.Because ozone can be misused by producing much larger amounts of ozone than products labeled and sold only as "air purifiers", you will not find large consumer products retailers and stores offering high-powered ozone generators that can produce large amounts of ozone. For example, one popular brand name air purifier unit produces approx. 15mghr of ozone.  While the smaller amount of ozone cannot be misused, the product will have  limited ability to purify air, and no ability to kill germs on surfaces with  a shock treatment from an ozone generator.  All products on the market labeled as air purifiers will have minimum, or no production of ozone.  If the air purifier is labeled an ozone generator / air purifier, it may have the ability to be misused and directions should be followed.Ozone generators, while having a great ability to purify air on the lower settings, are not simply air purifiers, they can be misused, and should not be sold strictly as air purifiers.However, Ozone is much less a danger than regular household bleach, and many other chemicals found in the average home.  Another positive point is ozone has a short life expectancy.  Get to know ozone depletion. QUESTION: WHAT IS OZONE? ANSWER: Ozone, sometimes called "activated oxygen", o3, contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms we normally breath. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and its function is to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors in nature. Interestingly ozone occurs quite readily in nature, most often as a result of lightning strikes that occur during thunderstorms. In fact that "fresh, clean, spring rain" smell that we notice after a storm most often results from natures creation of ozone. Ozone is also created by water falls. However, we are probably most familiar with ozone from reading about the "ozone layer" that circles the planet above the earth atmosphere. Here ozone is created by the sun's ultra-violet rays. This serves to protect us from the ultra-violet radiation. Additionally, each of us is exposed to high levels of ozone sometimes daily for short periods of time. This happens in heavy traffic conditions or during times when the weather forces ozone to remain lower to the ground than is otherwise normal. The combination of these two factors can result in ozone readings as high as 4 or 5 times the "regulatory" levels for continuous exposure with absolutely no adverse affects as our exposure is for such short periods, and the ozone itself decays back to normal oxygen so rapidly. QUESTION: HOW DOES OZONE WORK? ANSWER: While ozone is very powerful, it has a very short life cycle. When it is faced with odors, bacteria or viruses the extra atom of oxygen destroys them completely by oxidation. In so doing, that extra atom of oxygen is destroyed and there is nothing left...no odor...no bacteria...no extra atom, only oxygen. In addition to the effectiveness of ozone, we also know that it is safe to use. We know this from our own safe exposures daily to ozone, weather, as noted earlier, resulting from being locked in traffic, or passing through industrial areas. These exposures have no effect on us. beyond our acknowledging the smell associated with ozone. It is the strength of this smell that provides ozone with it's "built in" safety mechanism. Ozone is safe because we notice it's smell at very residual levels. By residual we mean, the amount of ozone that is produced in excess of the required amount to eliminate whatever contamination that may be present in the room. This equipment, when used correctly will not exceed government guidelines for continuous safe exposure. Even if used incorrectly, ozone provides its own protection, as ozone warns us in a manner similar to smoke in a room. Ozone does this by becoming so offensive (a strong bleach-like smell) at 1.5 parts per million that we would not be able to stay in the environment for any more than a short period. This is much like what would happen if we entered a smoke filled room. However, while smoke might harm us, research has proven that a limited exposure to a low level of ozone would have no serious long term affect on us just as it does not affect us when caught in a traffic jam during rush hour. QUESTION: WILL THE ODOR COME BACK? ANSWER: No. If ozone is applied properly it destroys (oxidizes ) the source of the odor. However, in the case of mildew the odor will return if you are unable to get rid of the moisture that is the source of the mildew. QUESTION: HOW DOES OZONE HANDLE TOBACCO SMOKE ? ANSWER: It eliminates the irritation caused by phenol gasses, by oxidizing them. Phenol gasses are the invisible part of tobacco smoke that causes such discomfort to one's eyes and create the offensive odors. Ozone rids any environment of the effects of smoke completely, rather than merely filtering out some of the visible particles like an "electronic air cleaner". QUESTION: WILL OZONE REMOVE STAINS AND NICOTINE BUILD UP ANSWER: No, ozone will not remove the stains or nicotine build up. Ozone will deodorize and help to decontaminate the problem but will not remove the actual substance. APPLICATIONS AND USES FOR OZONE: Remove or Control Household Odors: Ozone is very possibly the most powerful and effective eliminator of smoke and odors. Ozone Eliminates tobacco smoke, its impurities or Phenol gasses, and odors from cooking, pets, mold, mildew and often the sources of household odors. Disinfecting and purifying with ozone provides a much healthier home, atmosphere and environment.     Remove Indoor Air Pollution:   Hotels, Motels, Restaurants, Bars, lobbies, beauty shops, dry cleaners, and all enclosed public areas can be decontaminated from odors by destroying the odor source with ozone. Customers enjoy a healthier, odor free environment when in an establishment that uses ozone. Hotel / Motel / Bed & Breakfast,  Room Odor Removal:   Clean-up time for a problem room is shortened with the use of an ozone generator. Turn a room with a bad odor into a fresh new smelling odor free room often in less than 20-30 minutes using the right machine! This will allow rooms to be in service much faster. Rooms will stay fresher and customers will appreciate the fresh odor-free room that ozone creates. Also, use of an ozone generator, will disinfect the air and surfaces, reducing the risk of bacterial, viral and other infections. Ozone is proven to be an effective way to reduce room cancellations from odor complaints. Travel and Vacation Uses:   Just as Hotels and Motels use ozone, you can bring your own to suit your needs. If the room you are in is desired, and there is an odor issue - then no more having to change rooms from an odor problem!   Cigarette & Cigar Smoke Removal / Elimination:   OZONE eliminates the irritation caused by phenol gasses, by oxidizing them. Phenol gasses are the invisible part of tobacco smoke that causes such discomfort to one's eyes and create the offensive odors. Ozone rids any environment of the effects of smoke completely, rather than merely filtering out some of the visible particles like an electronic air cleaner or air filter system. For restaurant, bar, or pool hall owners, these units have proven to be invaluable and help keep clientele coming back! Ozone Generators work better than "smoke eaters", ionizers or air filters for removing smoke & smoke odors. Return to top Mold Decontamination - Control & Removal:   Mold is a problem in today's damp or wet environments. Molds & mildew are the number one causes of allergic symptoms. Many harmful types of mold & fungus can be found worldwide. they grow in high-cellulose material, such as wood straw, hay, wet leaves, dry wall, carpets, wall papers, fiber-boards, some ceiling tiles, insulation, and more. This types are wet and may be slimy to the touch. This dangerous mold grows in medium to high humidity (55 % +). Even when dry, this type of mold can causes respiratory problems. Using an ozone generator, you can help reduce, control and many times eliminate mold growth in your business and home.   Vehicle Restoration companies / USES:   Trucks, Automobiles, vans, busses, and work vehicles are being disinfected & deodorized by professionals all across the country using ozone generators. Ozone proves to be invaluable for use in auto sales and restorations. With ozone shock treatments, vehicles smell fresh and clean. A fresh and clean smelling vehicle will sell faster and bring more profits after an ozone shock treatment. Boat / Ship / Cruise line Odor:   Boats often develop strong fish odors, bacterial, mold, and other odors. Ozone is excellent for removing and controlling these odors. Cruise ship companies can use ozone generators for room decontamination and odor removal just as hotels and motels.   Fire Restoration Companies:   Professional Fire restoration companies regularly use ozone generators for the removal of fire & flood odors Fire and flood damage odors are the most difficult odors to remove. With a powerful ozone generator, these odors can be removed. Shock treating with high levels of ozone will remove the odor and allow the room to be habitable. Pet and Animal odors, Kennels:   In homes, veterinary Hospitals / clinics, offices and kennels, ozone can take care of odorous surfaces and make the presence of animals hardly noticeable. Using "shock treatments" ozone can remove offensive pet odors. Disinfecting pet areas with ozone kills mold & bacteria and this creates a healthier environment for pets, their owners, Hospitals, and Kennels. (Note that ozone shock treatments should not be done with pets or people in the room) Control Insects and Vermin:   Insects and vermin are stay away from high levels of ozone. Ozone helps to remove their odors and keeps them from returning. Ozone is also used in attics to help keep rodents, birds, squirrels and other insects out. For example, a cockroach finds food and their home by the sense of smell. An ozone shock treatment can kill the odors of not only the food location, but of the cockroach's home. It is known that cockroaches will not leave their home if they cannot smell their way back. Also, if they smell no food, they're not interested! SHOCK TREATMENTS Ozone Shock Treatments are effective for removing harsh odors like smoke, mold, and animal odors. It is useful to "shock treat" an unoccupied room with a large volume of ozone to kill odors & germs. The idea of an ozone shock treatment procedure is to eliminate the contamination and source of the odor from surfaces as well as the air.  Ozone shock treatments can also provide continuous control over recurring contamination or heavily contaminated areas. General Ozone Shock Treatment Procedure: First the extent of the odor problem or level of contamination needs to be evaluated.  This will determine the size of the ozone generator required to sufficiently eliminate the problem odor in a reasonable amount of time. A powerful ozone generator should be used for shock treatments. The high concentration of ozone is needed to kill mold and bacteria. The ozone generator should be placed pointing in the direction of the problem area. Strong fans should be placed throughout the area being treated to provide maximum ozone distribution and improved penetration into materials such as carpet. Operate the ozone generator at it's highest capacity for as long as it takes to eliminate the odor problem. In most cases it takes only a few minutes to do a shock treatment. If it is a type of odor that is absorbed in furniture, walls and bedding, for example, cigarette smoke, takes only 30-120 minutes with the proper sized ozone generator. After the shock treatment procedure is complete, air out the room, if the odor is expected to continue place an ozone generator and monitor controller permanently in the area operating at a low level. Severe cases may require a 24 + hour treatment.  Milder cases may need a smaller unit or use lower output setting. If your goal is to reduce or eliminate a toxic contamination, mold, bacteria, etc. a test should be performed to ensure that the application was successful. Ozone Shock Treatments should be done in rooms when no people, animals, or even plants are present. To do this, an unoccupied zone should be established with no air infiltration; no leaks through ventilation systems, windows, or doors.  Also, by sealing the area, you can be sure the shock treatment will be successful.   MOLD : MOLD REMOVAL INFORMATION by Clean-fax Magazine   By use of a mold redemption plan, and an ozone generator, mold growth can be inhibited.  Removing the visible mold, disinfecting of surfaces with ozone, and the reduction of moisture are just about the only way to remediate a mold problem.  Ozone curbs the ability for exposed mold, mildew or fungus to reproduce. Ozone purifies the air and can reduce respiratory distress! Ozone works 3187 times quicker than chlorine as a germicide; superior to chlorine! Ozone is the most powerful oxidant available for commercial air, & water treatment. Ozone controls odors by killing the mold and fungus. Many believe that if the mold is dried and removed the danger is over. Mold usually harbors in crevices and in materials that are porous where they can re-grow. Dried mold particles become airborne and can be breathed in from basements through ventilation systems and inside walls. Breathing in these spores can cause respiratory damage that may be permanent. Ozone, at shock treatment levels will kill mold spores and obstruct future growth. If you can smell mold, usually there is mold, or air-borne mold spores. Negative Ion generators are not capable of killing or eliminate mold spores or germs.   Order, Shipping & Payment Details:Shipping for the UV PRO 550 is $24.90.
