Enhancing Marine Comfort Onboard with the Dometic Breathe Ionizer

If maximising comfort on the water is the priority, the role of air quality cannot be overlooked. Bailey Smith, Product Manager for APAC Marine at Dometic, brings light on how the company’s latest innovation, the Dometic Breathe Ionizer, is transforming the marine experience. Bailey highlights the importance of clean air in marine environments and how the Dometic Breathe Ionizer addresses common challenges faced by boat owners, from unpleasant odors to mould growth.

Why Should Someone Use a Dometic Breathe Ionizer?

If you’re spending time on the water, why should you consider using a Dometic Breathe Ionizer? The marine environment, along with the way many boats are stored, often leads to unpleasant odours and mould growth within living spaces. The Dometic Breathe Ionizer addresses these issues by purifying the air and combating mould and odours, ensuring that the fresh, clean feeling you enjoy outside on the water is also experienced inside your boat.

How Does the Dometic Breathe Ionizer Help Prevent Mould and Odors in Humid Marine Environments?

It utilises bipolar ionization, which generates both positive and negative ions. These ions are distributed throughout the boat’s living spaces by the air conditioning system. The ionization process breaks down mould, bacteria, and viruses, sanitising the air by attacking harmful molecules. Charged ions also attract other particles, causing them to form larger airborne particles that either fall out of the air or are captured by existing air filters.

How Does the Breathe Ionizer Compare to Traditional Air Filters?

Unlike traditional air filters, which primarily reduce large airborne particles, the Dometic Breathe Ionizer purifies the air as it passes through the ducting and living spaces of the boat. It complements air filters by charging particles to make them larger, thereby enhancing the filter’s ability to capture these particles. With the addition of a breathe ioniser, climate systems can utilise lower density filters, increasing the air flow throughout the vessel.

What Are Some Key Power Considerations for Installing the Dometic Breathe Ionizer on a Boat?

The ionizer operates on less than 20mA and is powered through the existing air conditioning system circuitry. Installation is straightforward; as it is AC powered it does require a licensed electrician. To ensure proper setup, a template is provided to guide drilling and brush installation into the ductwork.

The Dometic Breathe Ionizer represents a significant leap forward in ensuring clean, comfortable air on boats, addressing common issues such as mould and odours with innovative ionization technology. By combining this technology with existing air filtration systems, the Dometic Breathe Ionizer not only improves air quality but also elevates the overall boating experience. For boat owners seeking to enjoy the fresh, invigorating atmosphere of the open water even while inside their vessels, the Dometic Breathe Ionizer offers a practical and effective solution.
