Getting the most out of your Alpine Living Classic LA-3500

Posted by admin on September 26, 2017 in Air Purification with No Comments


So you’ve finally purchased and received your very own Alpine Living Classic LA-3500. Congratulations! Today we will go over how to get the most out of your purchase.

The importance of maintaining your Alpine products

We have had customers from over a decade ago tell us how their Alpine products are still running as magnificently as when they first purchased it. Every one of those customers has one thing that they all do in common; they properly maintain their product. It doesn’t take very long and is very easy to do, but many customers don’t do it. Those customers usually run into various issues with their machine. Issues such as the ozone plates not properly generating ozone, the machine making weird noises, and the machine just not running as well as it is intended to. Today we will go over the basic techniques as well as some other important tips or tricks to ensure your product will run optimally for the next decade or two.

I want to know the tips and tricks for my Alpine Classic LA-3500!

We recommend monthly cleaning. To clean your LA-3500, turn off your machine and unplug it from the outlet. Unscrew the two screws on the back of your machine. Carefully set aside the backing as well as the two additional filters when you remove the backing. Remove the two ozone plates and carefully set those aside also. If you have a can of compressed air, use that to remove any dust caught inside the machine. If you don’t have one, use a dry cloth to remove any dust that you can. We highly recommend that you get a can of compressed air to fully remove any and all dust from your machine. After you’ve ensured that all the dust is gone, it is time to clean the ozone plates. Take an old used toothbrush and soak it under warm water. Use the toothbrush to carefully scrub the metal parts of the ozone plate as well as the non-metal part if it is also dirty. If the dirt doesn’t come off the metal part after scrubbing with warm water, you can mix a small amount of hand soap into the water before scrubbing again. Always remember to be gentle while cleaning your machine and to always handle every part with extreme care. When done, let the ozone plates dry before inserting them back into your LA-3500. Put the two filters back in the way they came and screw the backing onto the machine again.

What if there are still problems?

Cleaning and maintaining your LA-3500 will extend the life of the product, but it will not solve every issue. Sometimes the ozone plates get too worn down to continue providing you with the cleanest air possible. We recommend that you switch ozone plates every 6 months to a year, depending on how often you run your 3500. If you follow the above steps and clean monthly, you should be able to extend the life of your plates to at least a year if not longer. However, don’t take too long to replace the plates because you will notice that your machine isn’t cleaning the air as well as it used to. Stop by the Alpine store to pick up some new plates for your machine when you need them!

The Untrustworthy eBay Seller you shouldn’t Buy from

Posted by admin on May 26, 2017 in Air Purification with No Comments


So you’ve purchased you air purifier via eBay because the price was cheaper and you thought you would get your bang for your buck. Now, your unit doesn’t work, nor the seller who sold you it doesn’t reply to your calls. This is the typical untrustworthy eBay seller. Don’t worry, you are not alone! We’ve had many reports and notifications about untrustworthy eBay sellers who claim they manufacture and sell genuine Alpine products, when they’re actually selling customers knock-off imitation models which serve nowhere near the efficiency of real Alpine Living Lightning air purifiers serve. And this is exactly why we are writing, to inform our customers so they can be aware if in case they ever encounter such a situation.

eBay sellers aren’t the only untrustworthy sellers we have had reports about either. There are a few more third party sellers which also claim they sell real Alpine Living Lightning products, however they’re only trying to lure customers for their own profits. Please visit our consumer warning page where you can see how customers in the past have been tricked by various websites’ sellers in the past for purchasing our units. These third party companies, like eBay for example, do not provide any sort of warranty and most likely, they’re lying to you if they claim they do! Only our company offers such warranty programs as we have the real Alpine Living Lightning air purifiers which won’t break down soon after purchase like imitating units. The units can be cheaper, however you will just have to buy cheaper units more frequent. You would be investing in quantity instead of quality, and for your respiratory health, this spells a recipe for disaster.

Instead, of constantly buying imitation products every year, take advantage of our trade-in program and invest in a quality Aline air purifier!

Measuring your Home or Establishment’s Indoor Air Quality

Posted by admin on March 17, 2017 in Air Purification with No Comments


The quality of air we breathe, indoors or outdoors, is becoming increasingly important as global climate change and pollutant levels are on an unprecedented rise. The quality of air we breathe does matter, and it’s important we recognize sooner, rather than later, we must consider it a part of our routine lifestyles. This is why governments across the globe monitor and regulate their air pollution levels, ensuring the safety of their people’s health.

The Clean Air Act for example, requires nations to follow a guideline of rules to the levels of pollution cities are subject to, and the ramifications of each. The CAA measures five major air pollutants which are: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, particle pollution, ground-level ozone, and nitrogen oxide. The way the air is measured is via a numeric scale (Air Quality Index) from 0 to 500, where the lower the score, the cleaner and more suitable the air quality. For example, a level of 100 indicates a “polluted” quality of air while a level of 200 requires local governments to issue warnings to its people.

What could be causing your indoor quality of air to be poor? It could be anything from the outdoor pollution, to smoke, and even pet dander. Generally, if your air quality is worse than outdoors, there are some strong signs that your quality of air is affecting your health. Do you ever catch yourself stepping out of the house, or even a closed off room, and feeling a breeze of pure fresh air? If your indoor air seems foggy or even has strong odors, the chances are more than likely that you’re quality of air is worse than outdoors. Mold is another cause of poor indoor air quality which can be hard to locate since they grow in discreet/isolated locations usually. Carbon monoxide, invisible gases, chemicals, etc. can also be causes of poor indoor air quality.

Even though there is no way to exactly measure the level of pollution inside your home or establishment and monitor these sometimes-hard-to-notice signs, it’s better to be prepared than sorry. These pollutants and bacteria are deadly and can have significant long-term effects on one’s health even if one may be presently healthy. This is why Alpine Air Technologies is here to help you guys! We offer the newest advanced and scientifically proven technology in our Living Lightning Air Purifiers, removing nearly all pollutants and bacteria.

Is my Fan Blade Working Efficiently in my New Air Purifier?

Posted by admin on January 30, 2017 in Air Purification with No Comments


The following are guidelines to tighten your fan blade for the following new air purifier models: LA-2000 to Classic LA-3500 (Model #: E300/RH02; 300/RH02; 300/H02; 300/UH02; HL2PRO; ZL-3500/UV)

 

Do you think the performance of your unit is being effected by a faulty fan blade? Before you secure your loose fan blade, dismantling your unit is mandatory. It shouldn’t take longer than about 15 minutes as it’s quite easy to remove the chassis from the cabinet. First, unscrew the two knobs on the front side of the unit. This would be the 03/Sanitizer and Fan/UV left and rights knobs which both have a small screw attaching them to the unit. Locate the tiny circular opening within each of the knobs to access the screws and unscrew each.

Now, on a hard surface, place the unit upside down and unscrew the bottom two bolts. Then, flip the unit back to its upright position (and on a hard surface still), and you should have easy access to the chassis (mechanism) of the unit. Remove it. Once you’ve moved the chassis, remove the metal protection bar by unscrewing and disconnecting it. Now, you should have easy access to the fan blade!

The blade should be positioned in the middle of the fan motor shaft itself, which is almost half way from the fan motor body and shaft. It shouldn’t be too close to the fan motor body nor in the very front of the fan motor shaft because it may risk touching the two metal prongs of the negative ionizer. Again, it should be placed in the middle of the fan motor shaft, which is an inch away from each end of the fan motor. Fasten the metal clamp of the fan blade by using pliers carefully. Do not maneuver the fan blade drastically and try to keep the fan blade on at all times when securing it. The metal clamp should be right in the middle of the fan blade over its opening (through which the fan motor shaft fits).

Now, reassemble the metal bar in front of the fan blade (and, if applicable, screw in the green ground wire connecting to the metal bar). Place the chassis mechanism fully back into the cabinet and reassemble the unit by following the instructions in reverse (secure the top, then bottom surfaces). Now, plug in your unit and turn it on as you monitor it the next couple of days. Please visit alpineairtechnologies.com if you have further questions!

How to Replace the Fan Motor in your Alpine Air Purifier

Posted by admin on January 29, 2017 in Air Purification with No Comments


Before you begin to dismantle your unit, make sure your unit has been turned off and is unplugged! Removing the fan motor from your XL15 purifier should be easy to follow along as it involves a process of removing parts from the front and rear of the unit (hence, giving access to the fan motor). If performed correctly, the process shouldn’t take longer than 15-30 minutes!

Starting with the front of the unit, first remove the two knobs for the ozone (purifier) and fan by sliding them off (pull them towards you). Next, remove the front grill by unscrewing its screws. Then, remove the fan motor’s fan blade (pull it towards you again). Once you’ve done these three steps, you’re ready to move onto the disassembly of the back of your unit!

From the rear of the unit, start by removing the lint screen filter, then remove the ozone plate(s). After, flip the unit carefully so that it is resting on its top and remove the four screws located at each corner. Flip the unit back to standing on its bottom. Now, you want to locate 3 separate red wires all coming from the unit’s chassis. Two of the three red wires should be connected to the fan motor while the other one connects to the needlepoint ionizer located right above the fan motor. Carefully disconnect all three of these wires. Once you remove these wires, you’re ready to gain access to the fan motor!

Carefully remove the chassis from the cabinet. Once you locate the fan motor, locate the fan motor bracket (it should be connected to the fan motor with two long connecting screws). Unscrew these two screws using pliers if necessary (if your unit is old or has accumulated rust). If there is no way to unscrew the screws with a screwdriver or plier, you will have to use cutters to cut and break the screws so that you can remove your fan motor. Each new air purifier you’ve purchased should come with two extra screws, so don’t worry if you must!

Now remove the old fan motor and carefully pay attention to the way it is positioned and located (as you will be placing the new fan motor the exact same way). Then, place the new motor in and screw the two original screws (or new if you stripped them) so that the fan motor and the fan motor bracket are securely connected again. After, put the chassis back into place in the cabinet to ensure the two front metal pieces on which the knobs fit go through the two holes on the front of the cabinet. With the chassis inside the cabinet, reconnect the three red wires back to where they were originally. Two wires should go to the new fan motor and one wire to the needlepoint ionizer (it doesn’t matter which wire goes where, they’re all the same). If you have difficulty connected the third wire to the needlepoint ionizer, try to reach into the chassis from the front of your unit and connect the wire as the needlepoint ionizer is much closer to the front of the unit than the back. Now, you can secure your unit!

Flip the machine upside down and fasten the four screws that hold the chassis to the cabinet. Then, after making sure the chassis was placed in the right position so that it could fit the two knobs, reconnect the two knobs in the front. Then reconnect the fan blade to the fan motor carefully and gently. Once this is secure, place the fan grill, ozone plate(s), and then the lint screen filter back the same way you took them off. Now you’re ready to start using your air purifier once again!

If your unit still has issues, it’s more than likely something is not connected well (red wires maybe) or there is a bigger problem within the unit (electrical). If this is the case, we highly recommend our unique and special trade-in program since old XL15 air purifiers are no longer repairable. We actually recommend this program even if your XL15 unit it working simply because its technology is out of date and you aren’t getting the best quality air! Instead of replacing your blade, you’re better off replacing the entire unit! You could replace the fan blade, however you’re more than likely to encounter the same problem again as well as additional wear and tear issues. The newer and identical model to the XL15 is the Classic LA-3500 v2.0 which is more powerful and provides for quick and efficient air pollution control and reduction. Protection against corrosion, more powerful ionization, more sanitizing power, enhanced protection, and improved filtration are all benefits that come with the new and improved version of the XL15! In fact any of our newer models are better than the XL15 version, chiefly because greater efficient square foot coverage. Please take a visit to alpineairtechnologies.com!

Alpine’s Trade In Program: Repairing or Replacing your EcoBox Air Purifier

Posted by admin on January 12, 2017 in Air Purification with No Comments


If you have one of the old EcoBox air purifiers, your warranty is only valid for one year after the date of purchase. For this model in particular, it’s difficult to predict an accurate lifetime timeline because there are various internal, as well as external factors that affect your unit. For example, how often one cleans or services his or her unit directly affects how effective and durable it is. Additionally, some external factors such as humidity levels and the environment the unit is placed in also affect the effectiveness and durability of the unit.

Unfortunately, EcoBox is not a durable and powerful unit as it can only feature up to a two-hour-away mode, hence lacking the ability to run long amounts of time for deep and efficient cleaning. In other words, the area it covers is limited. The most effective areas these units are used in are small, confined ones such as bathrooms and small bedrooms. You will find that in an attempt to use the EcoBox unit for an entire larger area, the effectiveness and efficiency of your unit diminishes the larger the area. For a larger room such as an office, kitchen, garage, or even an entire floor, you will need a more powerful unit. Newer, efficient, and effective air purifiers incorporate modern-day air purifying technology, giving customers faith in durability and low product cost. In short, EcoBox air purifiers serve well to complement a larger air purifier, however using the machine for an entire home if faulty.

If your unit is expired from its warranty, no longer working, or simply you would like to invest in a better, more efficient, durable, and effective air purifier, take advantage of Alpine’s unique trade-in program where you will find special limited-time discounts. In the end, it won’t be worth investing in your EcoBox air purifier every so often, as you will waste time and money as you have to fix the same repairs repeatedly.

Locating your ZL3 or HMA-300/CHO Fresh Air Purifier’s Fuse Compartment

Posted by admin on January 12, 2017 in Air Purification with No Comments


 

Do you have an Alpine model ZL3 or HMA-300/CHO Fresh Air Purifier? Do you need help to locate the fuse compartment for cleaning or replacement purposes? Well, Alpine is gladly here to help! Whether it’s time to replace your fuse on your air purifier or simply just clean the interior of your Alpine air purifier, it’s important to know where the fuse is located because eventually you will have to do both tasks. We actually recommend you periodically check your fuse compartment every couple of months as well as clean the interior of your air purifier every three months.

The fuse compartment can be found on the back side of your air purifier. You actually don’t have to remove the back of the machine to access the fuse, so before you begin please don’t jump to removing the back, otherwise you will find yourself wasting unnecessary time. The compartment is located where the power cord plugs in. If you have trouble locating it, refer to your unit’s user manual for further assistance. Looking exactly where the power cord plugs in on the back of your machine, the fuse cabinet is located inside that plastic material. In your user manual, you should see a picture of the fuse on the plastic material (if you need help). If you want to remove the fuse (or even replace it), simply pull the fuse out by unlocking the fuse cabinet with a flat head screwdriver. Replace the original fuse with the correct new fuse. It’s important you make sure the fuse is a 1.5 AMP 250V Fast Acting fuse! It can be found at any local home goods store such as Home Depot or Radio Shack for a few bucks. After making sure everything is once again connected, use a different power outlet to plug your unit into to ensure you your unit works.

Replacing your Ozone Plates on your HMA-250 Air Purifier

Posted by admin on November 13, 2016 in Air Purification with No Comments


Do you have the model# HMA-250 air purifier, or any other old purifier, that needs some servicing and replacement of parts? Is it getting rusty, ineffective, and problematic? Have you thought about the newer technology and science behind up-to-date air purifiers and their effectiveness? Well, if these thoughts are running through your head, you’ve reached the right place!

For the HMA-250 unit, a commercial air purifier manufactured in the early 1990’s, the main purpose is to sanitize air. Unlike today’s air purifiers, they didn’t feature an ionization process of removal for pollutants in the air. Hence, this unit isn’t actually meant for residential daily operation. The “right side only” caption means that only the right side of the air purifier can fit ozone plates, and not any universal ozone plate. In addition to the plates, all other parts of this model are no longer available as of many years ago. This is simply because the demand of this unit, as well as other older units, has significantly diminished as everyone has switched to newer models. Newer models are behind efficient technology that today’s scientists approve of and admire as they are safer, more effective, quieter, more powerful, and much more.

If you were looking to replace a certain part on your old air purifier, we highly recommend taking advantage, instead, of our special trade in program offered for a limited time. This program basically cuts your cost in half for a brand new, top-quality, alpine air purifier, with free shipping all just for trading in your current air purifier (no matter what condition it’s in). Your new air purifier is shipped to you for free, and comes with a three-year parts and labor warranty, so there really is no catch. You may as well invest in a reliable and durable air purifier now than repair and service your current unit, and then have to only do the same thing in another few months. Visit http://alpineairtechnologies.com today to get yourself your air purifier!

-Less rust: The new double pronged stainless steel negative ionizer is strategically positioned directly ahead of the fan which will result in large amounts of less rust. Also, unlike the old single needled, non-stainless steel ionizer radio wave antenna, the new one releases trillions of negative ions per second, resulting in more efficient and quicker reduction of particles in the air.

-More control of airborne particles in close proximity to unit: Unlike older models which didn’t even have one, the newer models feature a new high intensity UV germicidal light which help control germs, viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, etc. close to the unit’s operating area.

-Quicker sanitization of areas, May it be a home, office, business, etc., from increased use production: The new models feature new ozone generation mechanism as they uses stainless steel and two high frequency ozone plates while older models used one ozone plate with low frequency.

-Longevity of lifetime: The lifespan of your new air purifier will last much longer than older units as they can finally be cleaned and washed thoroughly without causing any damage to them. The new and improved filtration system on the back of newer models prevents pollutants from easily slipping through and entering the unit, unlike the older models which were prone to this.

-More durability and protection to prevent deterioration of the models physical landscape. The old units’ cabinets were made out of thin plywood which wasn’t very sturdy and failed to effectively protect internal parts. Newer models feature oak wood, which is one of the best solid woods known to mankind!

-Easy and quicker cleaning resulting in efficiency and a long lasting unit: the old models required the many instructions and steps resulting in difficulty when being taken apart. The new models have a new, easy cleaning chassis that quickly can slide in and out of the interior cabinet.

Replacing your Air Purifier and its Radio Wave Antenna

Posted by admin on November 2, 2016 in Air Purification with No Comments


Are you an owner of an older modeled air purifier? Are there some parts (such as the radio wave antenna) and places of your air purifier that you want to replace, or replace your air purifier in general? Search no more, you’ve found the right place!

After a while, your air purifier even begins to accumulate dust and rust on certain parts, and unfortunately, basic routinely maintenance becomes less valuable to the point where it’s not worth spending your time on. In fact, many older air purifiers have a rusty circular object connected to the light bulb next to the ozone plate cage. This is the Radio Wave Antenna! Unfortunately, over time rust has built up which will more than likely impact the functionality of the antenna (and unit) as it serves its purpose in ionization mechanics. Basically, radio wave ionization reduces the amount of larger particles in the air while the needle point ionizer brings smaller particles to the ground. If your antenna has rusted, chances are, other parts of your unit are rusted as well, even if you perform routine maintenance.

In general, for older air purifiers especially, finding User Guides and Manuals as well as certain parts will be difficult to do as they are becoming outdated by new, more efficient, cheaper, more durable, air purifying units. Often times when the part is found for the unit, it’s hard to find a manufacturer who will assemble your unit because the model is so old and the technology is so different (than what were familiar with today). This results in a high cost of repairing your air purifier usually, however cost efficient air purifier repairs aren’t impossible either. There are only a few older models which you will find that have replacement parts available throughout the market, simply because they are outdated.

Please be aware, again, that replacing the parts of older air purifying units is expensive. Sometimes, it’s wise to actually just buy a good unit that will last you a long time (rather than trying to buy knock-off modeled units or older units which don’t function to the efficiency level of today’s units). In fact, the best case is actually a trade-in program for your unit. That way you get money for your old unit, and basically get the new unit discounted. Think about it, repairing an older air purifier will cost you nearly $200-$300 on average based off the price of parts and labor. Newer and more efficient air purifiers cost anywhere from about $500 and up. You’d be basically cutting your cost in half as they even PAY YOU $100 for your unit (resulting in a net cost change of nearly $300-$400 cheaper)! The decision is yours people, however if you invest in good quality air purifiers now, you won’t have to spend more money down the road – simply said. Newer models have many benefits: enhanced quality, more durable, more efficient, technologically advanced, User Guides available, replacement parts available, and much more!

Fixing a Loose Fan Blade in my new Air Purifier

Posted by admin on September 22, 2016 in Air Purification with No Comments


Is your fan blade on your new or used air purifier loose and not securely attached? This may cause damage to your unit and your unit may malfunction, so it’s important you deal with this issue as soon as you can. You must tighten the loose blade immediately to your unit, before you begin to use it. Here are specific instructions for tightening the fan blade on the following Alpine air purifiers: LA-2000 to Classic LA-3500 – model #’s: E300/RH02; 300/RH02; 300/H02; 300/UH02; HL2PRO; ZL3500/UV.

Tightening the fan blade requires disassembling your air purifier. It’ll be a smooth process if you follow these instructions, and it shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes to complete. First, you will have to unscrew the two knobs in the front of your air purifier. These are the left knob, which is the 03/sanitizer, and the right knob, which is the fan/UV. Note that each of the knobs are attached to the air purifier with a tiny screw. Find the little round opening within each of the knobs to access the screws and undo them.

Second, once the knobs have been safely removed, you need to carefully flip the unit upside down. Make sure you are placing it on a solid, hard surface to ensure stability to the ground (tables, countertops, wooden floors, etc). Then unscrew the two bottom bolts, and flip it back to an upright position. Now, you should be able to remove the chassis from the cabinet and safely place it on a hard surface.

Third, you will locate the metal protection bar. It should be directly in front of the fan blade. Carefully unscrew it, giving you easy access then to the fan blade which should be sitting in the center of the motor shaft. The blade should not be too close to the front of the motor shaft nor too close to the fan motor body, as this would allow for contact to be made to the two metal prongs of the negative ionizer. Realistically, it should be placed in the middle of the shaft, about one inch away from each end of the fan motor. With access to the fan blade, carefully fasten the metal clamp of the fan blade with pliers. The metal clamp should be right in the middle of the fan blade over the opening through which the fan motor shaft is placed in. If you don’t have pliers, you can easily obtained some at any local supplies store such and Home Depot or Lowes.

Lastly, it’s time to put everything back together. You will reattach the metal bar in front of the fan blade and screw in the green ground wire which is connected to the metal bar (not all models will have the green ground wire however). Then place the chassis back into the cabinet fully and reassemble the unit’s screws and bolts by following the above instructions in the opposite order. You will want to keep an eye out for the fan blade movement for the next few times you use the unit to ensure you have solved the issue.

Should I Oil my Air Purifier’s Fan Motor?

Posted by admin on September 22, 2016 in Air Purification with No Comments


 

Are you wondering about ways to improve the efficiency of your air purifier? Are you considering oiling your unit’s fan motor to help the noise problem that you’ve been hearing from your unit? Well, you’ve reached the right place if you’re in need of expert advice! Oiling the fan motor is a big NO, simply stated. Oiling the fan motor does not help the noise issue. The noise actually comes from within the fan motor itself – most of the time due to worn out bearings which already have oil on them (so adding more oil will not help and in some cases may make your issue worse). The only solution to this problem (as we have seen many of these cases in the past from previous customer inquiries) is to replace the fan motor itself. Replacing the fan motor will eliminate the noise you’ve been hearing from your unit once and for all. (Alpine Air Technologies offers a 3 year parts and labor warranty, so if you’ve purchased an Alpine Air Technologies unit which is less than three years old, we will replace it for free!)

Please note that when the fan blade makes noise (not the fan motor – it’s important to distinguish this), oiling the fan motor shaft only (on which the fan blade is sitting on) will maybe help the noise issue, but it’s not guaranteed. This is only if the noise is from the fan motor, which is extremely rare. If you wish to clean the fan blade itself, the best way to do this is to either use a can of compressed air (from any local supply store) to spray off the dust, or wipe it with a damp cloth. The fan motor itself can also be cleaned with a can of compressed air, or wiped off with a dry cloth. If you need additional help for cleaning your unit, please refer to your unit’s specific maintenance instructions.

The Best Way you can Clean your Air Purifier

Posted by admin on September 22, 2016 in Air Purification with No Comments


Having an air purifier is a necessity these days as the air inside our homes and offices are constantly contaminated with bacteria, allergens, pollution, and dust particles. Breathing clean and clear air is important for our short and long term health, absent of these contaminants. If you already have an air purifier, you’re a step ahead already! Although having an air purifier is a necessity, you must treat it as a luxury because you must properly maintain and clean your unit periodically. Doing so will ensure you that your air purifier will last a long time while being fully effective.

Cleaning your unit is strongly recommended as contaminants usually pile up inside the unit after some time of being used (the time varies depending on how often you use your unit). We recommend performing simple maintenance every month on your air purifier. Every time you clean your unit, you should have a checklist of cleaning these parts: ceramic ozone plates, back carbon filter (if your unit has one), interior of the unit, fan motor, and fan blade.

 

  1. Ceramic Ozone Plates: Once every 30 days you should be washing the ozone plates. We recommend placing the plates in a bucket of warm water. It would be even more beneficial if you add clear/lemon ammonia added (add one teaspoon to one cup of water and mix, then add to bucket). Let the plates sit in the bucket for water (with or without clear/lemon ammonia) for a couple of minutes. Then rinse them off well ensuring you’ve washed both sides. After, use a soft toothbrush to softly scrub the metal screen on each side of the ozone plates to remove residue. Finally, allow for the plates to completely dry off before placing them back inside your unit. To ensure a long-lasting life for your air purifier, you should replace the ozone plates every three years, or whenever you notice the ozone plates are starting to get worn out.
  2. Back Carbon Filter: It’s recommended to also clean the back carbon filter of your air purifier every time you clean the ceramic ozone plates (however, not all units will have a back carbon filter – if this is the case, you can skip this step). Use a can of compressed air to spray off the dust on the filter. If you don’t have a spray can, you can easily find one at an office supply store (like Home Depot). It’s also recommended to wash the filter every three months and to replace it every year. You can replace the back carbon filter or ceramic ozone plates here.
  3. Interior of Unit: Additionally, you can used the can of compressed air to efficiently eliminate any particles/contaminants once every month (or whenever as needed). Once the back carbon filter is removed, it’s easy to access the interior of the unit.
  4. Fan Motor and Fan Blade: As the back carbon filter was removed, you should also remove the front grill of your unit to gain access to the fan motor and fan blade. Again, using the can of compressed air to spray away any contaminants is highly recommended as the best method to clean these components.

 

Performing these basic tasks periodically will ensure a longer-lasting lifetime and effectiveness of removing air contaminants from your air purifier. For additional specific maintenance instructions, refer to your model’s user guide.
