BEFORE GETTING STARTED
THE SCIENCE OF OZONE TREATMENT:
HOW THE AVURA MICRO WORKS
The Micro is designed to reduce and/or remove volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), odor, mold and harmful bacteria like E. Coli by first converting oxygen
(O
2
) into ozone (O
3
). Ozone is the airborne (gas) equivalent of how chlorine or
bleach is used as a liquid cleaning agent.
The advantages of ozone over bleach are that a) ozone is a stronger oxidizing
agent than bleach; b) unlike chemical disinfectants, ozone does not leave
behind any residue; and, c) gaseous ozone can reach in, under and around
places that liquid bleach simply cannot reach. Current research shows that
ozone can also sanitize against viruses like influenza, norovirus and rotavirus
SARS-CoV-2 (responsible for COVID-19).
The advantage the Micro has over all other ozone generators is that it
produces enough ozone to deodorize and sanitize, but not concentrations high
enough to cause damage to surfaces, fabrics textiles and certain polymers/
rubber products that may be affected by oxidant overexposure. It does so by
delivering limited concentrations of ozone over a short period of time.
The Micro is designed to effectively deodorize and sanitize without degrading
and destroying materials like bleach can sometimes do. The unit can be used
in a variety of vehicles, including compact cars, SUVs, small boats and RVs.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
The following items are included with the Pulse:
• Avura Micro
• User Manual
MODES OF OPERATION
The Micro has one (1) built-in mode of operation.
• 20-Minute: Delivers limited output concentrations of ozone throughout
the 20-minute cycle.
The 20-minute cycle will begin automatically once the Micro is plugged into a
vehicle’s 12-volt power outlet.
