1.
How Do The Products Work?
The
products (Mega Fresh®, Mega Freeze®, Aweome Air®,
Odor Stop®, Flower Power™ and Mega Cold™) contain
100% natural minerals called zeolites. Zeolites are a type of
volcanic rock that have the ability to adsorb water, odors and
gases. Zeolite minerals have open structures containing large
cavities interconnected by pores or channels. Zeolites have a
huge interior surface that looks like honeycomb under a microscope.
It has a natural negative ionic (electrical) charge. Water, odor
and gas molecules have a positive ionic charge. Since opposites
attract, the crystalline interior of the rock actually attracts
and adsorbs these molecules and holds them tightly in place.
Zeolites
are characterized by their ability to adsorb and lose water, odors
and gases without damage to their crystalline structures. The
zeolites are placed in filters and as air moves through these
filters, excess moisture, odors and gases are adsorbed by the
zeolite minerals.
2.
Didn't You Misspell Absorb As Adsorb?
No.
Absorption (with a B) is a mechanical process - for example, a
dry sponge responding to water by expanding and holding the water.
Adsorption (with a D) is the electrical process (ionic) of opposite
electrical ions attracted to and clinging to each other.
3.
Are The Products Safe?
The
zeolite minerals are 100% natural.
OSHA
has determined that the zeolites used in the products are:
- Non-Toxic
- Not
Corrosive
- Non-flammable
- Stable
- Not
Caustic
- Not
an irritant
- Not
a sensitizer in oral, dermal and ocular per Federal Hazardous
Substances Act (15 CFR 1500)
The
zeolite minerals are safe to use around food and can be be safely
ingested (although this is not recommended).
If
a truck containing zeolites overturned on the freeway, the zeolites
would be swept onto the side of the road because they're non-toxic.
4.
How Long Do The Products Last?
With
proper maintenance, these products never require replacement.
The zeolite minerals can be recharged and never wear out.
Mega
Fresh®, Mega Freeze®, Awesome Air®, Flower Power™
and Mega Cold™ can be regenerated by placing the filter
in the sun for 8 hours or baked in an oven at 120 degrees for
two hours. The heat releases the water and gases stored in the
zeolite crystals without damaging the zeolites. These filters
need to regenerated every 18 to 24 months.
Odor
Stop® can be regenerated by washing the filter with soap and
water and then drying it out in the sun. Odor Stop® will last
for months before it requires regeneration.
5.
Are These Products New?
Zeolites
were discovered in 1755 by Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrick
Cronstedt. Zeolites have been used for years in a variety of applications
including water softening, water purification, arsenic control,
detergents, construction, enriching poor soils and converting
crude oil into gasoline and other fuels.
This
line of products has been on the market for 10 years.
6.
Can I Use These Products In My Home?
There
are home versions of Mega Fresh®, Mega Freeze® and Odor
Stop®. There are also two additional home products: Fisherman's
Friend™ and Gun Guard™.
7.
These Products Sound Too Good To Be True. What's The Catch?
This
is a case where the products live up to their claims and there
is no catch. These products have been on the market for 10 years
and carry a 30 day money back guarantee.
