Triad Aer air purifiers.
Q: Anyone heard of them?
A; Yup. They are made in the same factory as the Alpine and other Ozone oriented air purifiers. You’ll see different models that are basically the same model with slightly different looks.
If you have sensitive lungs this is not the model for you as it does operate primarily on Ozone which can irritate lungs. The small hepa-like filter will catch some dust and pollen but not as well as a real HEPA filter so it;s not the one for pollen allergies. I like ozone for its ability to kill smoke and mold but not for dust and pollen..
Q; Are they still selling for $850? That’s pretty steep.

by: Anonymous
I bought one at a trade show in Dallas Texas spent 600.00 and 6 months later it stopped working. Contacted the company and they said they would make arrangements for it to be shipped and repaired and 5 months later they tell me they have no record of me calling and that I am now out of warranty and cannot get my machine fixed
They want 189.00 plus shipping for a mother board.
MADE IN CHINA. IM THROWING IT IN THE TRASH AND BUYING ANOTHER FROM A REPUTABLE COMPANY THAT OFFERS LIFETIME WARRANTY
BEWARE OF TRADESHOW SCAMMERS

Paid over $800.00 for an over large paper weight. Haven’t had the unit 6 months and the pco cell needs replaced and I haven’t noticed any difference in my house because of the unit. Don’t waste your money!

we didn’t feel it was appropriate to try to cover the whole 3000 sq feet of our house because of the many rooms and angles. so we keep the Triad Aer in our kitchen (on top of frig) and keep it set at 750. We do not smell anything at that setting. Too low? Who knows.

We also bought ours at The Big E in W. Springfield MA. Started at the 250 sq feet and went up slowly like he suggested. We have 3000 sq feet and had it up to 2500 but started smelling a chlorine-like odor, like a pool house. We notice it the minute we walk in the house or come down from our 2nd floor. Anyone else dealing with this? Was told it would barely have a scent but would be like “after the rain”
We’d appreciate any feedback, thanks!
My Response
You’re smelling the Ozone. The “rain” smell you were told is the smell of Ozone after a thunderstorm as the atmosphere produces ozone when the electrical charge of lightning hits oxygen.

Ok this newer model triad Aer cost a lot but if it can clean a 3000 sq. ft home that’s not bad. The filter is washable or he said just wipe off. It is pleated. The ionization goes through house causing particles to attach and drop to floor. It also has a photo catalyst if oxidation and scalable purification both work to break down odors, mold, bacteria and viruses. If this can get all that out it sounds pretty good to me. I’m waiting other act from my lung Doctor.
MY RESPONSE
If you have lung problems this is not the unit for you as the ozone can cause lung problems. There are other machines that also create ozone for less money.

starstarstarstarstar PCO Cell
by: Anonymous
We had no problem getting the PCO cell, but it did not work. So, they sent us another. It also did not work.
The person we spoke with, who said the cell worked when mailed, said the circuit board may be fried……….. Dilemma. Do we pay the expense of two way postage or just say good bye to TriadAer? We have had it working fine and liked it for three years.

I bought one yesterday at a show in West Soringfield. The presentation said it uses ionization, oxidation and a light technology that can clean or purify a 3000 sq foot house. I told him I have three levels he said that was ok just put by stairs. I told him I have a lung disease, allergies and just diagnosed with Rheumitoid arthritis and he said it will get rid of viruses, mold, dust, pollen. He never said anything about it producing carbon dioxide and water vapor. I see on line it say harmless water and carbon. I told him with my lung disease I can’t do humidity, to much moisture in the air. I’m going to read up more but may take this right back and cancel my purchase. I have not even opened it yet.
MY RESPONSE – I am concerned that the ozone will irritate your lung problems. There are other, less expensive ways to get rid of pollen, dust, mold, etc without Ozone. I like ozone for getting rid of these things but I do not recommend it for lung conditions.

I purchased a Triad Aer at a Home Show in Roanoke VA in January 2015. It only sits and hums. You can smell the Ozone in the sanitize mode. If it is doing anything we can’t see it. As far as the Negative Ions, it doesn’t make you feel like anything is even coming out. Save your money!!

Ran across them at an home show in Pittsburgh PA. The air filter came months later than expected so I had to get another one. Have been trying for a year to get them to return my money even though I returned the filter month after received. Problem is I never get any response from them except one call that said check was in mail. No Check, 5 letters later nothing. Am going to Better Business Bureau now. This has been very frustrating. So my comment is that they do not stick behind their product.
