Crystal Air is a leading company in the industry that distributes ozone generators. This company offers 18 different models for residential and commercial applications. These models offer ozone output ranges between 200 mg/hr and 6800 mg/hr. These applications cover 750 to 27,200 square feet.
These ozone generators cost between 0.82 and 7.6 cents per square foot of clean air. These ozone air purifiers cost between $346.65 and $11,854.32 to use over a 10-year period.
Comparing the cost-benefit value of these systems involves some methodological differences from what you would do when comparing air purifiers. By design, these systems only use ozone. This is because they are designed to address specific types of problems. Unlike air purifiers, they were not designed to run 24 hours a day. It’s not that they don’t have that ability, it’s that you won’t be using it for that purpose most of the time. Instead, you’ll use it to address a specific odor, gas, or biological agent problem that typically involves the release of concentrated doses of ozone into an environment over a designated period of time.
When we calculate the cost-benefit value of air purifiers, we base it on 24 hours of continuous operation of the air purifier. So we did the same with the ozone generators. This at least provides a standard for comparing one system to another. But you should never compare air purifiers with ozone generators because they serve very different purposes.
Crystal Air carries systems that use the Corona discharge method for ozone production and other units that use ultraviolet light to quench the ozone (o3). This is important to know because corona discharge (CD) generators are often cheaper than ultraviolet light systems and can produce higher concentrations of o3. On the other hand, DC systems have problems with the release of nitric acid byproducts into the air that can corrode the generator. Ozone systems using ultraviolet light have removed nitrous oxide byproducts from the process. As a result, they tend to last longer and are more friendly to addressing ozone issues while humans are present in the environment.
Crystal Air is one of the leading companies when it comes to these types of systems, in part because they provide one of the most comprehensive spectrums of options. In our opinion, the best DC generator this company offers is the PRO 5000. It offers the best cost-benefit ratio of all Crystal Air systems and is powerful enough to address most biological agent, gas and residential and commercial toxic odors. . The best overall UV light ozone generator is the UV PRO 1100T. It doesn’t have the highest cost-benefit ratio, but we think it has the best overall value based on what the UV ozone systems will be used for.
This company also backs their generators with one of the best warranties in the ozone industry. They back their quality with a 6-year warranty. Few other companies offer this type of guarantee. Do your research, but this is definitely a company worth buying their ozone products from.
