While at the trade show I picked this beast up. Tired of my rug shop smelling like sheep and whatever clients get on them. So I wanted something safe that I could run 24 hours a day. I looked around and settled on the Titan Hydroxyl Generator. Why? First off it is cool looking. Every client that walks in asks "what is that"? When I explain it is a machine designed to remove odors from rugs and kill all the germs in them they like that a LOT! What woman wouldn't? ;)
So far after only a couple of days use I have noticed a difference. Now it is too early to tell for sure and I will keep you posted on further results. But so far liking it a lot. Got some real stinky rugs in right now so I am putting it to the full test. I hope they are right about completely safe.Most of us know the dangers of ozone machines that is why I like this choice. Before I go on here are a couple of the points that sold me on this unit;

Well that is a few things that sold me on it. Here are a few reasons for you techies from their site;
The 365 - 385 Nanometer UVA Rays that are emitted from Titan's Anatase TiO2 Coated Photocatalytic Lamp react with the Nano Sized Titanium Dioxide Impregnated Super Reactor Screen and also with the TiO2 coating on the interior of the unit, and as a result create electron hole pairs that react with H20 and O2 in the air and produce free electrons and hydroxyl radicals that decompose organic and inorganic gases and air pollutants into carbon dioxide and water. There is no ozone at all produced from our Titan units.
The largest advantage to the Titan Air Purification & Deodorization System is that it is safe to run in inhabited areas. The market for the Titan is unlimited. Fire and Flood Damage Restoration, Doctor's Waiting Areas, Nursing Homes, Day Care Centers, Restaurants, Night Clubs, Beauty Parlors, Etc... Etc... can all benefit from the odor and germ destroying properties of Titan's TiO2 Photo Catalytic process which will clean the air, remove odors and eliminate poisonous gases and organic pollutants.
Well that about sums it up. Those are the things that sold me on it. I figure worst case scenario Xactomate pays 200.00 a day for restoration loss. Just 7 days and i have recouped my money. But my big hope is that it will deliver in my rug spa. Women love good smells and we all know what ends up on clients rugs. Add to that the smell of wool from sheep that is drying you can see why a shop can get funky fast. I am hoping this machine does the trick. We shall see. Now the problem is finding a place for it in my shop. :)
