You can’t kill mould. But you can remove it by eliminating the food on
which it exists in an aircon system.
In summer there is nothing to compare with the cool fresh air circulated
in a room by an airconditioner. In winter it is the most economical way
to heat that same room.
However, before the advent of Covid-19, the world was talking about mould
and bacteria in air conditioners. Scientists were discovering that the
scourge of mould was far wider than ever imagined. Worse still, the fastest
way to spread mould in a building is through a forced-air AHU or HVAC/Split
unit system.
The presence of mould in an aircon system is a common complaint.
Sources of airborne micro-organisms in the built environment
We are already deluged with solutions to all the other things in this
picture -
Kitchen and toilet hygiene products. Personal care products. Pet care
products. . . .
But what about your air-conditioning? Do you imagine that if it does not
smell, then it is not harmful?
Mould is a sneaky little devil. It can grow and proliferate (mould starts
to grow in as little as 48 hours) and makes building occupants sick - without
ever being seen.
The reason this complaint is so common is that mould is always present
in any building and in the aircon system, to the extent that it is ever-present
in the building’s environment.
It is well-known that air-conditioning systems can harbour mould, bacteria
and fungi. This can lead to the development of diseases for any building’s
occupants - particularly if the system is not well-maintained, regularly
cleaned and sanitised.
Increased dust or humidity from poorly maintained systems can result in
symptoms such as allergic reactions. The combination of both creates the
perfect environment for mould to spread, which can cause chronic respiratory
problems to develop. Other common ailments include headaches, fatigue,
weakness, fever, chills, flu-like symptoms, shortness of breath, coughing,
chronic sinusitis, sore throat, burning eyes and difficulty concentrating.
"Mould can grow relatively fast - within days," Dr Sumita Khatri, co-director
of the Asthma Centre at Cleveland Clinic, told CBS News. "It's one of those
things you might not think about, but if you're not proactive it could
catch up with you later."
"If somebody has chronic sinus issues, it will get worse. And for people
who were previously healthy, and did not have respiratory issues before,
they can develop them," Khatri said.
Chronic conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) can be exacerbated by breathing in mould spores. If the mould problem
is not addressed, it can continue to wreak havoc on the respiratory system
indefinitely.
It can also cause 3 o’clock fatigue syndrome which everyone suffers from
time to time. You can’t kill mould. You can remove it by eliminating the
food on which it exists in an aircon system. That food is the dirt and
grime which is ever present in dirty, or poorly serviced air conditioners.
To effectively combat these conditions, O3 Chemicals has upped its game!
Three O3 Chemical products for the AHU market, and two specialist O3 chemicals
for HVACs/split units
This is a powerful, new-generation, high-tech, non-corrosive, chemical cleaner, specifically designed to remove health-threatening mould, bacteria and fungi growing in general dirt and moisture in AHU's.
This is a specially formulated chemical cleaner with a specifically designed
built-in degreaser.
Designed by our international chemists using the latest chemical technology
to remove health-threatening mould, bacteria and fungi that grow in grease,
cooking oil and fat in AHUs servicing restaurants, bakeries, fast food
outlets and kitchens generally.
A major plus is that both chemicals can be diluted up to 15 times, making
them the most competitively-priced products on the market.
Even the labels on the bottles are high-tech. They include a QR code which,
when downloaded using a smartphone enables the technician to view a video
showing how to use the chemical economically and cost-effectively. In the
second QR code he can download the MSDS for the product as well as a copy
of the hygienic certificate.

A new generation pair of high-tech, non-corrosive chemicals specifically
designed to be used in tandem to remove health-threatening mould, bacteria
and fungi in HVACs and split units. NO water is required and they can be
applied without removing the HVAC from the wall.
These products also have high-tech lables incorporating QR codes which
provide the user with a “How-to-Use” tutorial and and a product-specific
MSDS sheet.
We recommend the TradeAir oil-free, silent compressors. The best and most
efficient way of applying chemicals.
This compressor halves cleaning times, cuts chemical usage dramatically,
& eliminates the use of water.
Want to improve your bottom line? Get with the O3 Going Green Program.
The TradeAir compressors can be bought at Makro, Take-a-Lot, and many
other similar retailers. However, we place so much importance on this method
of cleaning AHUs and HVACs that O3 has decided to offer the compressors
as part of our programme. We believe our prices are lower than the competition.
We are keen for the Contractors to recover the cost of the machines in
a matter of months, while delivering a far higher standard of cleaning
for their clients.
The Trade Air compressors will guarantee Property Owners, and Facilities
Managers will achieve more cost-effective, and more efficient results from
their contracts.
