8 things to look for when
buying an ionizer
1) High negative ion output
Have you seen the false advertising? There are
several misleading product ads and product names that imply that their
'ionizer' actually puts out a breeze consisting of high-density negative air
ions, when that is not the case. Before you buy, read their manual, catalog,
package, etc. Do they say that their product actually emits large numbers of
ions externally (in the millions or trillions)? Our products do. Several
other 'air purifier' products claim to be negative ionizers, but are in fact
really ozone generators. And as unbelievable as it may seem, some even put
out positive ions.
In December 2002, two different models of nationally-advertised,
column-style "ionizers" were tested using a very sensitive negative ion
detector. The negative ion output reading from both units was zero. A close
examination of the instruction manuals revealed no claim to actually
emitting negative ions; only ozone.
HealthyGlow Products only sells ionizers which have been
tested and proven to produce generous amounts of negative ions. In fact, the actual
ionization output of our IG-133 series models has been measured at over 93
trillion negative ions per second! On the down side, they are not exactly
pretty to look at. None of your friends will be impressed and tell you what
a cool looking gadget you have. If you would rather have a product that
enhances the decor of your home, then maybe you should look at one of those
great looking column-style ionizers mentioned above. But if you would rather
have one
that works, you've certainly come to the right place.
2) Negative ion detector
Negative ions are invisible. So if your negative ionizer stops working, or
if it produces only a few negative ions, you will have no way of knowing.
That is of course, unless you buy one from us, because we include a free ion
detector with every ionizer purchase! That's how confident we are, because
we know for a fact that our ionizers have been tested and proven to perform.
3) External emitters
Some "ionizers" generate negative ions internally. The problem with that is,
most of the ions are attracted to the inside of the unit. Therefore, only a
few of the ions actually leave the unit and go out into the room. And some
use chemicals, perfumes, or agents. None of our products do.
4) Serviceable or long-life emitters
The ends of all ion emitters wear, and as that happens, the negative ion
output decreases. That's because the ions are only produced at a sharp
point. Most ionizers have needle type emitters. When they become dull, you
will either have to sharpen them somehow, or else you will have to buy and
install new ones. Our standard SSE ion emitters consist of eight fine wires.
To keep them sharp, simply trim the ends occasionally to maintain optimum
negative ion output. The optional CFE emitter ($29.95) requires no trimming,
and has a projected lifespan of 5 to 10 years or more.
5) External dust collection plate
Many ionizers build up a coating of dirt inside that makes them stop working
after a relatively short period of time. But our model IG-133A ionizer is
designed to have the dirt build up on the outside so it can be cleaned off
easily.
6) Warranty
We feel that any company offering high quality products should back up their
claims with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We do exactly that. We provide a
full 60-day money-back guarantee on all ionizer products sold, plus a full
five-year limited warranty. Due to the high quality of materials and
workmanship, the return rate for our products is almost zero.
7) A fair price
Some companies add a huge price markup. You may have seen ads for models
which sell for several hundred dollars. Some try to mask the high cost by
splitting the cost into several "easy" payments made over several months.
However, our policy is "a great product at a fair price".

A negative ion generator can improve indoor air quality, and also your mood.
Negative ions: effects
Negative ions (that is, negative-charged ions) in a room act as air purifiers, causing
dust, pollen, mold, smoke, and many other allergens to stick together and fall to the
floor, or be attracted to objects in the room. Among other things, they can make the air
you breathe more pure and allergen-free.
A high negative ion exposure appeared associated with feeling better about self, less
sensitive, and more responsive or innervated (energized). From 8/82 issue of Aviation,
Space, and Environmental Medicine.
Studies have shown that some people become very depressed when negative ion counts are
very low (Seasonal depression) or when positive ion counts are high (such as in front of a
computer monitor).
"Results indicated that subjects had faster reaction times and reported feeling
significantly more energetic under negative Air Ion conditions then under normal air
conditions." From Influence of Negative Air Ions on Human performance and Mood.
"... The introduction of negative ion generation increased the subjective rating of
alertness, atmospheric freshness, and environmental and personal warmth."
A HealthyGlow Products negative ion generator's output will effectively neutralize positive ions.
Not all negative ion generators are created equal. Before you buy a negative ion
generator, there are several things to consider.
