Product Description
Ozone Generators are the only solution for reducing mold, mildew, odors, and bacteria. Need to remove mold caused by flooding? Look no further You have found the solution: Ozone Air Brand Generators are used by the professional fire and water damage restoration specialists around the world. When choosing a brand of ozone machines, why not place your trust in the same brand as the Pro's? Reduce Black Mold, Mildew, Odors, Bacteria & Viruses Highly reactive ozone is created by our ozone generator. Ozone is a colorless gas made up of three atoms of oxygen (Ozone Air). It is one of the strongest disinfectants in the world with 3000 times the germ killing power of chlorine. When ozone comes in contact with mold and mildew, pollen, odors, or other airborne bacteria, one of those atoms combines with the pollutants rendering them inactive by oxidation, leaving behind pure clean oxygen, (O3). This high output ozone generator (up to 3500 mg/hr) can help: reduce levels of airborne bacteria reduce black mold and mildew reduce fungi reduce mold spores reduce odors and viruses. The air is then much cleaner and healthier. Occasionally a generator is referred to as an air cleaner or an ozone purifier. Regardless of the terminology, rest assured our machines are highly effective air cleaners, especially when it comes to killing airborne mold, or toxic mold as it is sometimes called. Many Applications Ozone generators have many applications both commercially and around the home such as: Disaster recovery An ozone air cleaner is very effective when used in the clean up process following fires to get rid of the smoke odors, or in flood restoration to kill mold and mildew. An ozone generator is often used by cleanup crews following a fire to help recover items ruined by smoke damage. Experts in mold remediation use ozone generators to kill mold in the air either before or after demolition and reconstruction. Those experts turn to Ozone Air machines

 Stopped working after a year August 10, 2010

Purchased the machine a little over a year ago and it worked great initially. After about 50 hours of use, the output decreased considerably. While the fan runs fine, it no longer generates ozone. Sent an email to the company about 3 weeks ago and have not heard back.
 Very High Ozone Output, but CHEAP Design August 1, 2010

After reading all the reviews, I splurged and bought one of these newer units with the "Always ON" feature for an old 1800 sq/ft house. It worked great removing the horrible stench of a dead squirrel in one of the walls that lingered for weeks even after removing it.
For the first week, it worked great. I decided to use the "Always ON" feature while I stayed at a friend's place for the weekend. I came back a day later and noticed it was not outputting any Ozone. The plate inside the unit was not lighting up usual purple so I contacted Sylvan, and they advised me to clean off the Ozone Plate. I opened it up, and noticed a fruit fly on the plate. I wiped it off with some rubbing alcohol and it revived the dead unit, but it was flickering on and off and parts of the plate were not lighting up. So they are sending me a replacement ozone plate which I told them I would replace myself.
I gave this product 3 stars, because when it works, it does a great job, but I believe the issues I had with this unit is due to lack of features. It needs a filter for the intake port to keep debris and insects from entering the intake port and shorting out the ozone plate. I believe it has a 400cfm fan, which will pull in a lot of air and particles through the unit.
If I can figure out it was in fact the fly that shorted the plate out and not the quality of the parts used inside, I may end up keeping it and customize it to suit me better like adding a filter and installing a different timer.
Also, Sylvan's customer service is First Class!
**EDIT 8/1/10***
The unit is completely dead besides the fan. I opened up the unit, opened the case for the High Voltage Multiplier and I noticed a 22uF 400V capacitor had a nice hole in it. This is the reason why the Ozone Plate is not working and the reason why it was flickering before. The manufacturer of the capacitors are JakeC, which is a low quality brand from China.
I will try to replace the bad capacitor and see how it goes.
**EDIT 8/14/10***
After replacing the bad 22uF 400V capacitor and the other one (for safe measure), it was still dead. Since most of the PCB and components were covered in epoxy, the only thing I could test were the two 13005 transistors mounted on the heat sink (metal lower panel). Both transistors were shorted so I replaced them with high quality parts (part# ST13005) and now it's back up and running. I ran it for a 24 hour cycle, and it's been running fine without issues.
Also, the front grill is starting to oxidize from the ozone after (3) 24-hour cycles, and (10) 1-hour cycles). I assumed it was stainless steel but now it doesn't appear so.
**EDIT 8/17/10***
It has been running great and has been doing a good job even after running it for 48 hours straight. I contacted Sylvan about the repair I made, and they offered to compensate me for my time, which shows that they do care about their customers, but I did not accept.

I am very Satisfied with the product. This is not a toy and puts out huge amounts of Ozone and easily fills my entire 3 bedroom ranch quickly by placing it near the air intake for the central AC. It fills the house with Ozone in short period time which is around two thousand square feet. The lighted switch and run timer are nice features. I can turn it on and close and leave the house and it shuts itself down after an hour.

This is my very first review ever on anything, but the product warranted my input. Asthetically, it is not much to look at. However, it does what it says it does. I live in a row Townhouse condo complex and live next door to smokers. Unfortunately, they smoke in the basement, and the smell travels through the spaces left open by the common pipes that run through each unit, making my laundry room and rec room literally stink as if there were 10 people sitting in the laundry room smoking. After much confrontation, they have ceased smoking, however, the residue of the nicotine stuck on all my possessions in the storage area of my laundry room. I had tried vinegar, bleach, air purifier... anything I could think of to remove/reduce the smell. Our restoration company told us about the industrial ozone generators they use to eradicate smoke smell after a fire. After reviewing many models on-line, I finally broke down and purchased this generator. Got it yesterday and ran it for 1/2 hour (it is two 8x10 rooms) in the evening. It did exactly what it said it would do. The "oxygen" smell is akin to a downpour of rain during a hot summer day... pungent, yet clean. I went down this morning, and the whole laundry room and the rec room smell clean and fresh and no nasty tobacco smell. It was amazing, and a relief to have that nasty smell out of my home. Next, I will try it in my vehicles, and also the bathroom to help control any bacteria. I am very pleased with this item - well worth the money - highly recommend it.

This unit does exactly what it says it should. After use I think it could be improved by adding more time selections (only variable time to one hour or always on) and variable output....but for the price it seems like a good deal
