Be sure an avoid those ozone generators that are "easily and inexpensively upgraded" 
by the addition of more ozone "plates".

The truth is that they use only ONE transformer and are more likely to blow out than machines like our units with MULTIPLE transformers. 

Simply adding ozone plates to increase the ozone output puts a dangerous extra load on the power transformers. 

This fact is made very clear that by adding 2 ozone plates to a one plate 1000 mg/hr ozone generator that the total ozone output is only 2600 mg/hr and NOT the 3000 mg/hr it should be.

If the transformer was properly sized the ozone output would equal 3000 mg/hr, but that fact that the resulting output is only 2600 mg/hr is absolute evidence that the transformer is improperly sized, especially to upgrade the ozone output.

Since the 3000 mg.hr ozone output was NOT achieved, it can only be concluded that the missing 400 mg/hr of ozone was lost because the transformer was not able to handle the extra load of the extra ozone plates.

The extra load on the transformer causes it to get very hot, and it is prone to completely blow out.

Note that some 1000 mg/hr ozone generators try to add up to four extra ozone "plates" but that the total ozone output ONLY reaches the 3600 mg/hr level, NOT the expected 5000 mg/hr.

Trying to double or triple the power of an ozone generator by simply adding more ozone plates is a cheap, unsafe, and not reliable way of trying to increase the ozone output.

Mold-Kill ONLY increases ozone outputs by adding extra ozone elements, AND by properly adding extra power transformers. That's why our models with higher ozone output have EVEN ozone output numbers like 2000, 4000, or 6000 mg.hr instead of an erratically designed unit that output 1000, 2600, or 3400 mg/hr.

ONLY a cheap ozone generator would try to increase the ozone output by simply adding extra ozone plates and not by adding the proper amount of transformers.

Beware of "upgradable output" ozone generators. 
They won't last, and are prone to fail.

Be sure and buy a long lasting, properly designed ozone generator like an Mold-Kill.
 
 

The heart of any ozone generator is its power transformer.  It is the electrical component that produces the high voltage that is needed make the ozone. That's why it's selection, and construction is of the utmost importance.  It can be the most costly part in any ozone machine.

Mold-Kill uses completely sealed, high voltage transformers, that can withstand a lot of abuse before shorting out. They are designed specifically for our ozone generators.  Combined with our innovative ozone element design, it is very rare that one of our power transformers blow out.

Competitors use off the rack, open iron core transformers. The exposed iron can quickly rust and deteriorate. These types of transformers are not specifically designed for use in an ozone generator, and have a hard time maintaining a long life span in this type of machine.

Some companies use the same exact transformer in many different sized models.

Mold-Kill uses multiple transformers in our different models.  How can a single transformer that is used in a small ozone machine be expected to handle the much higher load in a large ozone generator?

Many competitors machines simply use ONE transformer, the SAME EXACT transformer in many of their different low and high ozone output generator models.

Whether it be a single plate 1000 mg/hr model, a 3 plate 2600 mg/hr model, a 5 plate 3600 mg/hr model, a 5 plate 5000 mg/hr model, or a 10 plate 10000 mg/hr model, some manufacturers use the EXACT SAME TRANSFORMER in every machine!

How can the SAME transformer that is expected to handle one high voltage ozone element, handle ten high voltage ozone elements?

If a competitor states "Our transformer is so good we can use the same one in our low powered model as our high powered model" then what justifies the huge jump in price between the low and high powered models?
It seems to us they are just charging the customers empty dollars of more and more profits for increased ozone power.

That leads us to two possible conclusions: Either the transformer in the 10 plate 10,000 mg/hr model is woefully undersized, or 1000 mg/hr ozone generator is using a transformer that is already properly sized for a higher powered machine,

If the latter is the case, and the ozone plates are as low cost as they say, then why the huge price jump between lower and higher powered ozone generators?

That's why ozone generators that are "upgradable" by simply adding more ozone plates are not very well designed. The load on the transformer HAS to be radically different on a single or five plate ozone generator. 

This is proven by the fact that when a competitor adds 4 more ozone plates to a 1000 mg/hr machine that the total ozone output does NOT equal 5000 mg/hr. 

The "upgraded" generator now only puts out 3600 mg/hr, the missing 1400 mg/hr of ozone output has been lost because the transformer cannot handle the increased load of the added ozone plates.

That proves that the load is radically different when you simply add more ozone plates to a power transformer.  If the transformer has been strained so that it looses that much ozone power, then it can be concluded it is that much closer to straining and blowing out. 
It has to run at a higher temperature.

Our XT-2000 uses a single transformer. The XT-4000 uses 2 transformers. The XT-6000 uses 3 power transformers.  Our XT-14000 uses 6 power transformers and our XT-28000 uses 12 separate transformers.

We do this because to present a balanced load, and to have even power distribution. 
It is better to use multiple transformers when doubling or tripling the ozone power.
It only makes good sense. It makes for a more balanced ozone machine.

We don't just add two more ozone elements to the XT-2000 to make it a 4000 mg/hr machine.
The XT-4000 uses 2 separate transformers. Simply adding ozone elements isn't the proper solution.  Adding 2 more elements would NOT equal 4000 mg/hr. It might only increase the ozone power to 3200 mg/hr because the load presented to the transformer would be completely different.

That's why ozone generators that are "upgradable" by simply adding more ozone plates are not very well designed. The load on the transformer HAS to be radically different on a single or five plate ozone generator.

Keep in mind the fact that competitors also use ozone plate technology where each "plate" has 3 pieces in it that can easily move around.  They use a spring system to keep each part of the plate in perfect alignment. A 10 plate, 10,000 mg/hr ozone machine will have 30 separate pieces in its 10 ozone plates!  A 10,000 mg/hr "plate type" ozone machine has 30 parts that must ALWAYS be in perfect alignment or disaster will occur.

If a single piece of the glass or mica non-conductor breaks, cracks, or just slips out of alignment due to a lack of spring tension, then the electrical conductor, screen parts of the ozone elements can arc and cause an electrical short. 
When an ozone plate short outs, the transformer is also shorted out.  No matter how well it is built, a transformer cannot stand being shorted out for very long.  Electrical transformers cannot stand to have a high voltage, zero ohm load on them for very long without being put under a huge amount of strain.

We not only uses multiple transformers in our higher powered units to help balance the load, they also use our U.S. patented ozone elements which do not have components in them that can move, or shift out of alignment. 

Don't buy the argument that using multiple transformers gives a machine more parts to break down. 
The truth is if properly sized transformers are used and not strained to capacity, there is very little change they will blow out.  Simply adding additional ozone plates as other manufacturers do, is what overloads electrical transformers, and makes them more likely to blow out.

Our XT-14000 and our XT-28000 use special monitoring circuits, and indicator lamps on the front panel to always let the user know the status of each ozone element and transformer.
No other ozone generator made has that feature.

If a transformer ever blows the user will know about it right away. Because of these units modular construction this problem is very easy to fix.

Our ozone generators are simply more stable than most other brands.
Electronic protection circuits and fuses prevent our internal components from overload & burnout.
