A1: A hydroxyl generator is a device used to create hydroxyl radicals, which are highly reactive molecules. These radicals are capable of neutralizing and eliminating Wildfire Smoke, odors, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air and on surfaces.

Q2: How does a hydroxyl generator work?

A2: Hydroxyl generators work by mimicking the natural process that occurs in the earth’s atmosphere to clean and purify the air. The device generates hydroxyl radicals by exposing water vapor to a specific wavelength of UV light. These hydroxyl radicals then react with and break down airborne contaminants, effectively eliminating them.

Q3: What are the benefits of using a hydroxyl generator?

A3: Using a hydroxyl generator offers several benefits. It provides a safe and environmentally friendly way to improve indoor air quality by eliminating odors, bacteria, viruses, and VOCs. Hydroxyl generators are effective in various settings, including homes, offices, hospitals, schools, and vehicles. Additionally, they do not require occupants to leave the treated area during operation.

Q4: Can a hydroxyl generator remove wildfire smoke and odors?

A4: Yes, hydroxyl generators are highly effective at removing all airborne smoke and lingering odors. Hydroxyl generators that produce ions, such as negative ions, can potentially help in reducing the presence of wildfire smoke particles indoors. Negative ions are often associated with air purification and have been studied for their ability to attach to airborne particles, including smoke particles, and make them heavier. This can lead to the particles settling on surfaces or being captured by filters more easily..

Q5: Do hydroxyl generators produce ozone?

A5: Hydroxyl generators do not produce ozone as a byproduct. Unlike ozone generators, which intentionally generate ozone, hydroxyl generators use UV light to create hydroxyl radicals without producing harmful ozone. This makes hydroxyl generators a safer and more environmentally friendly choice for air purification.

Q6: How often should a hydroxyl generator be serviced?

A6: As the technology is actively neutralizing in the air, it means not filtering the room and changing filters. Additionally, hydroxyl generators utilize UV lamps and reaction cells as part of their air purification process. These components require periodic replacement to ensure their effectiveness. As a general guideline, annual replacement of the UV lamp and reaction cell is recommended.

Q7: Are hydroxyl generators safe to use?

A7: Yes. Activepure hydroxyl generators are EPA Medical Class II certified safe for 24/7 use for people, pets, and kids. Please follow proper safety guidelines.Hydroxyl generators produce hydroxyl radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that can help neutralize certain pollutants in the air. While hydroxyl radicals are generally safe at the concentrations generated by these devices, it is still advisable to use them in well-ventilated areas.
