Purification capability


Air purification capabilities are an important factor when choosing the right negative ion generator. A negative ion generator, which can disperse plenty of negative ions throughout the room, has a high ability to remove dust and particles floating in the air.

Negative ions combine with dust and particles floating in the air and fall to the floor. As the result, the dust and particles no longer exist in the air. This is how the air is purified by negative ions.

Stable performance


Temperature and humidity changes can significantly lower the performance negative ion generators which employ the discharging method. You should choose a negative ion generator which is designed to maintain optimum performance under low/high temperature. Otherwise, it will not perform well under such conditions because the negative ion counts can dramatically drop.

Life span of ionizing needles


Negative ion generators which employ the discharging method can generate fewer negative ions than they are supposed to do or produce a lot of harmful ozone when the ionizing needles get worn out. Ionizing needles determine the life span of the ion generators.

Ion House's Inonizing Needle The life spans of negative ion generators which employ the discharging method are usually determined by the ionizing needles.

Ionizing needles gradually get worn out as a result of repetitive charging/discharging or by chemical reactions.

Worn out needles can lower negative ion counts or produce a lot of harmful ozone.

The life span of ionizing needles is an important factor because it determines the life span of the negative ion generator.

Positive ion count


Negative ion generators which employ the discharging method can generate both positive/negative ions simultaneously, which lowers negative ion counts because they are cancelled off by their positive counterparts.

Negative ion generators can generate both positive/negative ions simultaneously, particularly if they employ the corona discharging method.

Positive ion generation lowers negative ion counts because they are cancelled out by their positive counterparts.

It is ideal not to produce positive ions.

Ozone production


Most of negative ion generators which employ the discharging method generate negative ions and ozone simultaneously. Highly concentrated ozone is harmful to the human body. You have to make sure that the product meets safety standards before you purchase it.

Ozone production 0.001ppm or less Middle

Most of negative ion generators which employ the discharging method generate negative ions and ozone simultaneously.

Ozone gas is used for sterilizing/deodorant purposes but it is harmful to the human body if it is highly concentrated. The safety limit set by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is less than 0.1ppm (in working areas).

Basically, a negative ion generator, which does not meet the safety standards, is not sold in the market. However, worn out ioznizing needles can generate highly concentrated ozone.

Ozone itself has no odor but it can give off an offensive stimulating smell when it reacts with other substances in the air. You have to choose a product which meets safety standards and make sure if it does not give off the odor caused by the reaction if you do not like the smell.

Test operation


You cannot tell if your negative ion generator is working properly without an indicator light or a detector because you cannot see ions with the naked eye.

You cannot tell if your negative ion generator is working properly because you cannot see ions with the naked eye.

A negative ion generator which has a built-in indicator light and/or comes with a detector is ideal because they assure you that it is generating negative ions.

Maintenance


Maintenance procedures vary depending on the negative ion generator. You should know what maintenance work is required to maintain the performance before you purchase the generator.

Maintenance procedures vary depending on the negative ion generator.

Some products require you to clean the ionizing needles or replace the filters on a regular basis, while those which generate negative ions by crashing water require you to clean/refill the water tanks.

You should know what maintenance work is required to maintain the performance before you purchase the negative ion generator.
