Here is a simple truth. To remove dust, all one has to do is run the HVAC system 24/7 in the “fan” position and change a MERV 11 filter every four weeks. (Those filters only cost less than $6 each when you BUY THEM BY THE CASE ONLINE) That takes care of the dust for one year. HVAC systems push over 3000 CFM and filter all of the air in your home through the filter two times an hour. Inside of the HVAC system I recommend a UVC induct system. A 36W SYSTEM only cost around $60.
That leaves the most critical component, ozone shock treatments to neutralize dust mites, their droppings, VOCs and off-gassing, and household chemicals from cleaners and air fresheners. By the way, skip the air fresheners. Many only mask odors and add their own chemicals to the air.
During the winter months, we spend most of the day indoors. The primary indoor air issue besides the off-gassing and chemicals: dust mite feces. You need to treat for dust mites (and any mite for that matter) that are eating up the POUNDS OF DEAD SKIN every living person (or pet) in your closed up indoor environment shed each year and defecating up a storm! That dust you see floating around, yeah, you don’t want to know! But know this, if you perform regular (10 times a month) ozone shock treatments for at least 1 hour, that stuff floating around won’t have any biologically active material (bug crap), and your living area will be much fresher.
I could write a book on the 100’s of disgusting things that preside in indoor air, and guess what? Ozone is the knight in shining armor that slays them all, from VOC’s, molds, chemicals to mite and bug crap, it neutralizes the bad stuff and then reverts to oxygen. Ozone is usually the missing element in creating a fresh indoor air environment. In my experience, a $6 furnace filter in an HVAC system running on “fan” does a far better job of removing dust than a small tabletop purifier. I could have continued to make six figures selling air purifiers but at the end of the day, if you’re not happy with what you do to earn a living, what’s the point, right? That’s what I think anyway; there’s more to life than making money.
I genuinely believe in what I’m doing with ozone. My goal when I started was to bring the price down on ozone generators (mission accomplished) and make ozone generators that last longer (mission accomplished) and make them safer (our ozone generators will never be confused for air purifiers …the primary safety issue with ozone generators). Our ozone generators do the job, at a very fair price, and excellent customer service. I hope you consider them when you’re gift-giving this holiday season. Family and friends dealing with odors, mold or mites can put ozone shock treatments (when nobody is home) to work this winter.
