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™. For more information on these products,

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.
