Ionizer Instructions
The Ionizer included as a free accessory with every sauna has two functions to it: Negative Ion Generation and
Ozone Generation.
Negative Ion Generation
When the Ionizer is set to ION, it will produce negative particles that will attach to the positively charged
airborne contaminants within the air of the sauna cabin. The negative ions neutralize the positively charged
airborne contaminants (skin, dust, pollen, “floaties”, etc.). The neutrally charged particles now fall to the
floor. Through this process, the air in the sauna cabin is thoroughly cleansed and purified.
The ION function is designed to be operated for approximately 10-15 minutes before or during your sauna
session.
Ozone (O
3
) Generation
When the Ionizer is set to O
3
, it produces ozone.
Not “ground level” ozone but the chemical ozone, which is a
three-atom molecule. O
3
is unstable and quickly breaks down into O
2
(Oxygen) and a single oxygen radical
(O
1
). This oxygen radical (O
1
) attaches itself to odor causing bacteria and germs inside the sauna cabin. In more
humid climates, the ozone helps to prevent mold and mildew. The essential function of the O
3
generation is
to sanitize the interior of the sauna cabin.
It is best to operate the O
3
function for 15-20 minutes
AFTER
your sauna session in order to cleanse the sauna.
