Should I always smell Ozone from my air purifier?

Posted by admin on May 15, 2016 in Air Purification with No Comments


Many consumers of air purifiers wonder if it’s OK that they don’t smell ozone from their air purifier all the time. Based from our knowledge and over 10 years of experience in the air purification industry, it’s completely normal for everyone to not sense. In fact, it’s completely normal to not ever smell the ozone when it’s operating in your home/desired area. The purpose of your air purifier is not to produce ozone smell for you, but to reduce and remove airborne contaminants and bacteria in the air and break them down. At the normal Ozone setting, it’s more than likely that you will just barely sense the ozone smell when you first enter your home from an outside area. Upon a few minutes of being within your home, you will notice the smell vanish as your senses adapt to the smell and become used to it.

You don’t have to smell the ozone constantly and just because you can’t smell it doesn’t mean the unit isn’t working properly. For example, take the ozone which is outdoors every day. Do you consistently smell the ozone every hour you spend outdoors? Of course not, but it’s certainly there along with every ray of sunshine that comes down to Earth. You may sense it in large quantity after a storm, but then it does its job and quickly dissipates to the point where you can’t smell it anymore. The same concept takes place in your home – as long as the household odors are gone and you have clean air to breathe easily, that’s all you’re essentially looking for. This shows that you have the correct ozone setting actually and not that you’re purifier isn’t working. In fact if you constantly smell ozone, this is the exact opposite of what should be, and tells you that you have a higher than necessary ozone setting. In this case adjust the fan to your comfort level (maybe low or medium), and set the O3 ozone level to a level where you do not sense any ozone as well as household odors. It may take some fine tuning and time to reach this ideal ozone output level, however you air purifier will take care of the job for you!
