Where can I find replacement filters for this xc7 unit? I saw replacement parts for the classic and the 1000 series model but nothing for the xc7.
This is not the same Ice-Tech filter as the one used in the 1000 model. I checked with Mammoth., Spoke with the president of the company - Richard Oberlander. He advised that since the xC 7-stage purifier is their newest, the Ice-Tech filters are on their way. Amazon will soon have them, but there has been a delay is shipping. I own three units (the X-C, 7 Stage Air Purifier by Mammoth) and wanted to make sure that the 3 in1 Ice-Tech filters are available. As of January 18, 2015, they are not available, not even directly from Mammoth, but soon will be; But please be aware that other Ice-Tech 3 in 1 filters (such as the one used in the Mammoth 1000) will NOT fit the XC-7 Stage Mammoth Air Purifier.
How often do you turn the ozone on & for how long?
There is a formula that you can use. Every state has there own regulations to include EPA. Ozone is harmful to humans and animals in large concentration. See Wikipedia. I turn my on when there are not people in my house. This unit has a very strong fan and can push a lot of air in one hour. I turn the timer on, on the ozone, on the first floor while on the second floor, and on the second floor if I'm on the first. I have a very small dog, and he needs to be keep in another floor because ozone near ground could be bad for him and house plants. Keep it to less than two hrs at times is safe. I belief that EPA use an 8-hr for measurement. But check Wikipedia. Ozone decays quickly so it will not stay around for long.
Do I need a 2 year square trade warranty?
New units normally have a 5 year warranty that covers everything but the ceramic plates and filter.
Which is better for reducing pet odors, UV or ozone? Many air purifiers on the market offer only one or the other.
UV doesn't do much with odor. It's more for bacteria, mold spores and viruses. The ozone will work against odors but we always advise on using ozone where there's no pets or human around. This model has a separate on/off timer feature for ozone so we highly recommend using that to take advantage of time when you and/or your pets might be out of that area/space.
Does this unit have one or two ceramic plates?
It has slots for 2 ozone plates, but comes with only 1 plate.
Which product is best for just eliminating cooking smells in kitchen quickly?
The Mammoth XC is the latest Air Purifier in our line of air purifiers and is perfect for removing foul odors. This can be achieved by using the Ozone feature. Ideally the Ozone feature should be used no longer than 50-60 minutes in 1 day. The unit covers an area of 2500 square feet with the Ozone feature on.
Can I purchase replacement ceramic ozone plates of the Mammoth xC7?
Yes. We don't carry them right now but you can search for ceramic ozone plates on amazon and they should be 4x4 inches and they would work. Otherwise, you can also check on the manufacture website and order directly from them too!
I do repairs that require no dust. Does this remove all dust?
It will not get rid of all the dust, it helps reducing considerable but there is always some dust.
On high how much noise does this make? Is it safe around pets? I have a cat and birds and not sure if this will bother them.
On high it is loud, about as loud as a 12 inch fan on high. I am not sure why you would have it on high. I keep mine on 24/7, on the lowest setting, no ozone and it refreshes the air in my 1400 sq ft main floor easy. The only thing that might bother the pets would be the ozone setting,but you can schedule that and put them in a back room. I have a cat and bird, they have never had an issue with it.
How do you change the UV light? How do you get at it without touching the bulb?
Use latex or cotton gloves.
If I sit in front of this machine to smoke, will it eliminate the smoke odor when it comes out?
I can't say 100% for sure, but I can say after washing my 100 Golden Retrievers, that wet dog odor is taken from the air. I love mine. Works great!
If I leave the fan on constantly but set the ozone to a timer (on at 8am, off at 8:30am) will it keep that daily schedule until I change it?
Yes. The way the timer work is that once you press the button to turn on the timer, the timer will stay in effect until you manually press the timer to remove the timer function. So if you set it to Ozone from 8am to 8:30am, it will do that every day until you press the "Ozone Timer" to turn that timer off.
What amount of ppm of ozone does this emit?
It does not specify the amounts but it has 4 settings. I have problems with my lungs and I find that going to the lowest setting helps. Whenever I leave the house I put it on the highest setting and it kills all the odors.
Has anyone found replacement filters or UV replacement bulbs for this model yet?
You can order the filters at www.mpurifier.com. I haven't needed a UV bulb yet but could ask about replacements when ordering filter. The number for Mammoth is 1-800-470-4201.
Where can I purchase a UV replacement lamp for this unit? I've searched the Amazon site, and they apparently do not sell a replacement UV.
You can order UV replacement at www.mpurifier.com or call 1-800-470-4201.
Can this unit be laid on its side and still function properly (above fridge in travel trailer)?
It will still function but when we built the fan with vibration testing, it is design to absorb the vibration from the bottom. So if you do lay it on the side, we suggest putting a thick towel or something soft to absorb any small vibration the unit has while the fan is running.
Will this unit handle a house of 1600 to 1800 square feet adequately?
According to the manufacturer specifications it will clean up to 2500 square feet. Just be aware that is with ozone, so you would not want to be at home while ozone is used. You can set a timer for when you aren't at home in order for the ozone to be on. Without ozone, it will purify about 600 square feet.
