Clarifion air ionizers improve indoor air quality by reducing the amount of smoke, contaminants and other small particles. But they need regularly cleaning to keep them working.
To clean a Clarifion Air Ionizer use a microfiber towel to gently wipe away the dust that has accumulated on the outside. It’s best to do this twice a week, especially over the air intake. There’s no need to open it or remove the filters to clean a Clarifion air ionizer.
Cleaning a Clarifion air ionizer is essential because it’s not made to open. This means it more important to regularly clean the outside compared to an air purifier that you can open up. This guide walks you through how to clean your Clarifion air ionizer, and also some helpful tips on how to maintain it, including what to do if your blue light doesn’t come on.
How to Clean a Clarifion Air Ionizer
Cleaning a Clarifion air ionizer is quite easy. This is because you don’t have to disassemble the device or remove any filter.
Cleaning the device two times a week is recommended. However, it depends on how fast the Clarifion accumulates dirt on its surface.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning the Clarifion air ionizer.
- Unplug the device before cleaning it.
- You might see gray or black spots around the unit or on the wall where it is plugged. This is the dust that has gathered on the surface and around the outlet area.
- Use a microfiber cloth to wipe off the dust gently. You can use a little water to soak the microfiber cloth for hard stains, but make sure it’s not wet. The damp cloth will clear away any debris, leaving the ionizer clean and clear. But make sure that the device is completely dry before you plug it in again.
- You can also use a swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol for an extra clean. This can be done monthly.
Clarifion air ionizer’s are not meant to be open or have their filter changed – think of them like a disposable air purifier. You should get between two to three years out of one unit, but this depends on your air quality.
If you have poor air quality then it might last a shorter amount of time, some people have even had theirs stop working after 6 months.
How to Use a Clarifion Air Ionizer
To use a Clarifion Air Ionizer plug it into a standard power outlet. The purifier has no power button.
As you plug it in, the blue light will illuminate, indicating that it’s working properly.
This air ionizer can be kept plugged in 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week without any danger of overheating. You can unplug it if you want once you feel that you’ve got fresh air, but it’s best to just let it run continuously.
For it to work efficiently, keep it away from furniture for proper airflow. Ideally, you should keep the device 5 feet away from the floor too.
Why Your Clarifion Air Ionizer Blue Light Isn’t On
The blue light on a Clarifion air ionizer means that it’s working perfectly. The blue light won’t turn on if there’s a:
- Power outlet problem
- Incompatible voltage
- Expired (old) ionizer
Solution:
To fix the blue light issue, try plugging your Clarifion air ionizer into a different wall socket (120V) with no other appliances plugged in.
If this doesn’t solve the problem, then you’ll have to replace the unit.
Unfortunately, there’s very little capacity to repair these air ionizers, and are designed to be replaced.
While power issues are possible, in most cases if your blue light’s no longer turning on it usually means the air ionizer is now too old to work and the only option is to get a new one.
Even if you’ve only had yours for 6 months, if your air quality is relatively poor the life span of the Clarifion air ionizer is drastically shorter than the advertised two to three years you’re supposed to get.
Regularly wiping the outside of the ionizer can prolong the lifespan by stopping excess dust from going into the unit and settling on the ionizer component.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Clarifion Air Ionizer work?
The Clarifion air ionizer is based on air ionizing technology. It releases 10 million negative ions per cubic cm that attract and neutralize nasty airborne particles. The sterilization function of this tiny device can protect you and your family by improving air quality in just a few minutes.
It can be used to refresh the air in bedrooms, corridors, living rooms, staircases, closets, garages, and even RVs.
Although its best not to use them in the kitchen or bathroom. The large amount of airborne particles in these rooms will exhaust the ionizer far quicker than its intended lifespan.
Clarifion air ionizers can keep air fresh in spaces of up to 150 square feet.
Pros
- No filter replacement
- Whisper quiet
- Portable
- Chemical-free
- Easy to install
- Low energy consumption
- Easy to maintain
- No counter space needed
- No smell
- No refilling required
- Made in the USA
The negative ions cling to airborne particles and bring them down to the ground, preventing them from staying in the air. These airborne particles bound to the negative ions are neutralized and fall onto the floor or nearby surfaces, making it easy for you to wipe or vacuum them up.
Why Has My Clarifion Air Ionizer Stopped Working?
The Clarifion plug-in air ionizer can stop working if there is:
- Incompatible voltage
- Socket problems
- Debris accumulation
Solution:
- Ensure a proper power supply of 120V to solve a voltage issue.
- Plug the device into a different socket with no other device attached.
- Clean the device regularly for optimal functioning of the device
If the problem persists, it is highly likely that the ionizer has expired and you’ll have to invest in a new one.
How to Open a Clarifion Air Ionizer
The Clarion air ionizer cannot be opened. It is only necessary to clean the unit’s exterior.
Does the Clarifion Air Ionizer Remove Dust?
The Clarifion air ionizer can neutralize dust from the air. However, it cannot physically remove dust and other large particles. The air ionizer neutralizes microscopic airborne contaminants by moving them from the air to accumulate as dust and debris on your home’s surfaces.
To eliminate the dust and particles collected by the air ionizer, you need to vacuum and/or wipe the surfaces down.
How Often Do You Need to Replace Clarifion Air Ionizer Filters?
Clarifion air ionizers do not require filter replacement or regular maintenance. This is because they are filterless.
How Long Does a Clarifion Air Ionizer Last?
A Clarifion air ionizer can last from two to three years.
The life of a Clarifion air ionizer depends on the air quality and how long it’s operated for.
Does the Clarifion Air Ionizer Produce Ozone?
The Clarifion air ionizer produces ozone as a byproduct in negligible amounts. The ozone it emits is well below the safe limit recommended by EPA (no more than 0.05 ppm).
Can I Add Essential Oils to my Clarifion Air Ionizer?
Essential oils should not be added to a Clarifion air ionizer. Clarifion air ionizers don’t feature any diffuser properties. It’s just an air ionizer and can’t be used for essential oils.
Is a Clarifion Air Ionizer Safe Around Pets and Children?
The Clarifion air ionizer is safe to operate around pets and children as it neutralizes harmful airborne particles and its ozone emission is below the safe limit recommended by EPA.
