Faqs - NewAire HO3 2500 User Manual

• After cleaning, open a window and use a fan to ventilate
the area to the outdoors for 24-48 hours before resuming
normal use. Avoid blowing the exhaust back indoors or
into other nearby residences.
• Clothes or shoes that did not come in direct contact with
liquid mercury should be removed and put into the trash
bag that was left outside the contaminated area at the
beginning of the cleanup. Close the trash bag and take
it outdoors. Carefully remove the shoes and or clothing
from the trash bag and air them out thoroughly outdoors
for 24 to 48 hours. After the outdoor airing, items that are
washable can then be laundered.
• Continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken
and leave the heating/air conditioning system shut off for
several hours.
What are Hydroxyls?
Hydroxyl radicals quickly decompose chemicals in the air
to keep the atmosphere clean of harmful compounds and
are created naturally in the atmosphere when the sun's
ultraviolet rays react with water vapor and oxygen. Hydroxyl
Ozone generators like this one use the same UV radiation as
the sun and are used to naturally clean and deodorize indoor
environments.
What is Ozone?
Ozone is very effective in eliminating odors including
tobacco smoke, human and pet odors, food odors, mold
and mildew odors, garbage odors, renovation odors and
much more. It is not a re-odorant. Ozone totally destroys the
offending gases that are the source of everything we smell.
Unlike many other deodorizing methods, ozone actually
searches out and destroys the problem gases. It will react
with contaminants in the air, water, fabrics and on other
surface of the walls and ceilings.
Why is cleaning the air important?
Air pollutants can cause allergies, sick building syndrome
(buildings with contaminants at harmful concentrations),
bacteria infections, and spread viruses to name a few. Use
of this unit will help reduce the chances of contracting one
of these illnesses.
Is it safe to be around this generator when operating?
The Hydroxyl feature is safe to use in occupied areas for
deodorization purposes. This is great as businesses do
not have to shut down, people do not have to leave their
dwellings, etc.
For the Ozone feature, make certain all people, pets and
plants are out of the area. Close all windows and doors and
do not allow entry of the area.
Handling and Disposal of Mercury
• Dispose of contaminated items properly! Mercury-
contaminated items should not be placed in the regular
household trash. Contact your town or county officials
for information about hazardous waste disposal in your
community.
• Call your local health department as soon as possible.
If it is after-hours, please call your local fire department.
If you have questions about potential health effects,
you can call your physician, or your local poison control
center at 1-800-222-1222.

FAQs

How much area will the unit cover?
This unit will cover approximately 2500 square feet.
How long does it take for hydroxyl deodorization or
ozone to work?
Deodorization can take just minutes into the start of machine
operation. Naturally, other factors need to be taken into
consideration such as the size of the layout, airflow, size,
and the intensity of the problem. With odors, usually, this
unit can permanently eradicate them within a few days.
Is humidity good or bad to have with this unit?
Good! The higher the treatment area's humidity, the more
hydroxyls will be produced and the better/quicker the
Hydroxyl Ozone generator will do the job. Hydroxyls are not
temperature sensitive and like higher humidity.
What maintenance is required?
Very little. Simply replace the UV lamps when they burn
out (see page 10) and replace the carbon filters after
approximately 60 days of use (see page 9). You can also
clean as described on page 12.
Are there safety precautions to be observed?
Yes, see pages 2 to 5. Particularly, do NOT look directly at
the UV light, this is very important.
How long is the warranty?
The is a limited time warranty of 2 years, see page 14 for
specifics.
