In this video, Derek Cole explains the difference between UVV (a spectrum of ultraviolet light) and ozone, emphasizing that his company does not sell ozone generators due to safety concerns. He describes how UVV is used in air scrubbers and coil scrubbers installed within HVAC duct systems to neutralize pet odors, toxic gases, and off‑gassing from building materials such as compressed wood, glued cabinets, paint, and carpet. Cole highlights that modern, energy‑efficient homes are tighter, trapping these pollutants and making indoor air quality a top health concern. By treating air inside the ducts—similar to how chlorine tablets treat pool water—UVV can destroy offending gas molecules without exposing occupants to harmful ozone levels. He reassures viewers that the ozone produced by the system is lower than outdoor ambient levels, making it safe even for individuals with breathing sensitivities.

UVV is left. You might have heard before as ozone. You know, a while back people got in trouble for, for selling ozone generators. Now we don't do that. We don't have ozone generators, but we do have a spectrum of light called UVV. So when you install what we call our air scrubber, we have the UV light and we have a 5-inch UVV light. Which controls the pet and toxic odors in your home. Now, what does that mean? If you have anything in your home that is compressed wood, cabinets glued together, paint on the wall, carpet, all that stuff is off-gassing into your living space. Now, the challenge is we all have tighter homes these days than they had years ago. So in the old days, homes could breathe and air could flow through the homes. We don't have that going on today because we have energy-efficient homes. So all those toxic odors and gases, they get trapped in our indoor space. So if we go back to yesterday, we learned that, you know, it's a top 5 health concern of indoor air quality, and part of that is because of odors and these things off-gassing in their home. So the way to handle that is with UVV or ozone. Now ozone is very dangerous. If, you know, I put 100% ozone in this room, I would have no odor or gas problem, but the problem is that I wouldn't be staying here. You couldn't live in that kind of space. So The challenge or the thing to do is to treat it in the duct system. So when we talk to you about a duct system, that's where we're treating with the UV and the UVV, the air scrubber and the coil scrubber. We're treating the air in that space, not the whole house. We're treating the air in the duct system. You don't treat all the air at one time. It's kind of like a swimming pool. If you guys have pools or have been, you know, they have chlorine tablets you can either sit on the water and they disperse or it's under the ground where some of the water comes in and gets treated and goes back out. It's the same thing we're doing with UV. We're treating the air as it comes through, not all the air at one time. Actually, when you measure out of the grill the amount of ozone our product has to create, the number is less than if you were outside. I had a homeowner kind of concerned about this one time, which is a valid concern. His wife had some— his wife has some breathing problems, and he said to me, you know, can she do this? And I basically said, is she able to go outside? He said yes. I said, yeah, the levels we're actually treating inside your home coming out of the grill, the level is less than that of outside. So if she can go outside and not have rum, she'll be fine in the house and not have rum. But the goal of UVV is, is to find a gas molecule and kill it. So between pets and things off-gassing, that is what's causing the indoor air challenge in your house, and we can handle that with the UV.
