We only have to bathe once a year.

ALL RIGHT! )

Reason I'm asking is I picked up two Living Air XL 15's at an estate sale.
Both have adjustable ozone outputs (measured in sq ft, 0 - 3000) and
adjustable fan speeds. I've been tinkering with one in my computer room
(10
X 11) and find that if keep the output at about 100 sq ft the air seems
pretty good but if I crank it up much more the odor will drive you plumb
out
of the house. Is the odor when over driven normal? Is it dangerous? I have
heard that they can cause lung problems but wonder if this is just a
problem
when the are set for too high an output. I think the sales pitch for these
units CLAIM they work on mold, cat dander and etc.

Turtle mentions that so far no one has mastered controlling these
critters.
One of these units (the one that looks almost new) has an Automatic
setting
and appears to have an air sensor set behind the fan. Wonder if maybe they
are getting there?

Thanks HeyBub and Turtle for your input, Rob Mills


We have asthma and allergy problems in our family. A combination of an
electrostatic filter and conventional high efficiency fiber filter in our
central air system has been very effective. Based on considerable research
and authoritative advice we stay away from anything that is known to emit
ozone. The following reference is a good summary on the subject.
