Alpines are pretty much worthless... and they DO output nitrogen oxides. I was only aware of one commercially available brand that didn't, but now, apparently, the Air-Zone doesn't either. They sell a whole house unit as well... looks like its time to buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks , I'm very sorry to hear of all that you've gone through with mold. I'm not feeling too far behind you healthwise at this point. I'd be interested to hear about what you learned to do to mitigate mold in your home after all the trials you've gone through. Where may I ask are you living now that is dryer? We may down the road when we get our home straightened out be looking for a better climate for me. I too am from the northeast orginally, but most of my problems really developed since moving to the lower eastern shore of maryland. We moved here for a job oppprtunity for my wife and found out much later how prolific mold is in this region. Our home was okay, plus we had wood floors and we kept the house spotless. Things went arry when we had a bad roof install and later led to water/mold damage. I did own an alpine unit years ago and didn't have much luck with it. As I mentioned the odatus I now own which worked better for me, doesn't really shock the mold as statd by the Air-Zone company. Have you heard of them? I have heard of Richie Shoemaker, have also read his book. I hope it's not as bleak as he says. I considered going to him but have concerns about his protocols being too harsh on my liver which is not too well. I appreciated your thoughts on this and wish you all good health, cahydesmond <cahydesmond@...> wrote: ---I have had to battle with mold for a very long time. We used to live in the East coast and in some old homes. I wish we had not but I did not know then what I know now. I still live in an older home but we have done a lot of things to improve and remove mold. But now I am extremelly allergic to mold. Living in a dry climate has helped. We have always used an Alpine ozonater to remove mold and it has worked for us quite well. I see them in Ebay still and I almost bought anther for our basement. But I have also used our ozone generator the one I use for medical treatments and that has done the best in removing the mold. We get to do 2 things at once. WE treat the house and we treat me for fungas with it. I also wear one of those air purifiers around my neck when I am in places that has mold or musty. That helps so much. There are 2 books that are quite educational on mold. One is " your guide to mold toxins? by Schaller and Rosen if you have children and " Mold Illness and mold remediation made simple " by the same authors. Also " Mold WArriors " by Ritchie Shoemaker is very insightul in what this mold can do to people. Not sure is that is what you were looking for. cathy In oxyplus , Eagle <jacobadler123@...> wrote: > > Forgive me if I missed this. But has anyone used any of the Air- Zone units?

I recently moved out of our home temporarily while we wait to have it remediated due to water and mold damage. I've been in what seemed to be a fine little apartment for over a month. Last week the weather warmed up to the mid-60's for a few days and since then there's been distinct mold smells. Nothing like our house, but bad enough to give me problems. > > Thanks very much, > > > > Carol Ann <saffireskyes@...> wrote: > --- Simon Jester <tanstaafl@...> wrote: > > > On 2/12/2008, " St. " (sarahkauai@...) > > wrote: > > > Is that (Air Zone XT 400) a good air purifier? > > > > It looks like an excellent one... thanks for the tip > > ! > > > > > What do people on this list like? > > > > > > I have an old Living Air Alpine model which I sort > > of inherited. > > > How do they rate, in the scheme of things? > > > > Alpines are pretty much worthless... and they DO > > output nitrogen oxides. > > I was only aware of one commercially available brand > > that didn't, but > > now, apparently, the Air-Zone doesn't either. > > > > They sell a whole house unit as well... looks like > > its time to buy a new > > one. > > > > > > OxyPLUS is an unmoderated e-ring dealing with > > oxidative therapies, and other alternative self-help > > subjects. > > > > THERE IS NO MEDICAL ADVICE HERE! > > > > This list is the 1st Amendment in action.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes the airzone xt-400 is in my attic 24/7 on a very low setting. I change the filter and clean the element once a year otherwise it is maintenance free. The shock treatment units are good for blasting the place out and but would be cautious and remove computers, DVD players, VCRs and other devices with mechanical elements before doing a shock treatment. In my experience the low level machines work fine if not better in the long run. They are commonly used on yachts and house boats where without them mold is unavoidable. They are quite safe when set properly (basically below the threshold where you can smell ozone). Best to get them in the attic or inside the structure were they can attack the mold at the source of the problem. I do notice the house smells fresh with the airzone in. My house is 80+ years and old near the ocean. A few weeks without the ozone and the musty odor returns. Airzone makes one that installs in the duct which is a fantastic solution for newer buildings and homes. Regarding the nitrous debate I have had several other cheap ozone generators and must say the Airzone produces the sweetest/cleanest smelling ozone of any... it smells very similar to medical ozone. There is a new fascist initiative that has passed in California to ban ozone air purifiers. I fear it may be a step from the establishment to attack medical ozone next. In any case, soon you will not be able to legally purchase them here. good luck! On Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:36:24 -0800 (PST), you wrote: >, > > Do you run your airzone 24/7? If so on what setting? Which one did you purchase? I've seen thst they have units for both shock treatments and others for regualr use. What do you notice from runnin it? Does it oxygenate the air? Have you ever had any problems with other appliances, electronics being harmed by the unit? Do you use in conjunction with any other air filters? > > My old odatus was okay but sometimes I'd have to shut it off even at low levels as I think it did emit some nox. > > Thanks, > > > Deras <rilkeansoul@...> wrote: > I think for regular household (non medical) use the Airzone units are >maybe the best.
