A good air filter will not smell funny. It sounds like like you
have been trying things like the Ionic breeze. If that is the case,
it will smell a little like the smell after a spring thunder shower. That
is because what you are smelling is ozone. Ozone is unhealthy.

Ozone is in the same category as Cool-Whip. Breathing too much of it is not
recommended. Ozone WILL, however, kill odors much better than those ****ant
charcoal filters. Get a bona-fide Ozone generator (500-900ug/hr) and you can
easily co-exist with a rotting horse carcass.

You've got to keep it on most of the time - Ozone reacts with almost
everything to decompose into Oxygen in less than 30 minutes.

In addition those Ionic breeze "filters" are almost totally
worthless. They do remove contaminants, but they remove them so slow
that the make no noticeable impact on the total pollutants in the air
except for ozone they are adding.

Ionic Breeze machines are not for filtering - they are for buying and
selling.


If you want cleaner air look to a good HEPA filter and expect to
pay for new filters and hear a little hum as it moves the air. The
TV adds are extreme efforts at telling a lie without actually telling
a technical lie.

And an Ozone generator set to "Surge."

Far easier than cleaning the cat boxes.
