I found a solution to the sparking problem in the ionic breeze. purchased scotch brite cleaning pads from home depot. using a long strip of pad scrub the plates back and forth especially in the areas that seem to be emitting sparks. i did this and the unit runs quiet as a whisper.

The unit pops periodically. I have cleaned it and used an electronic duster (compressed air) but unit still pops.

i have the same unit. clean the corona wires very gently with light grade sandpaper and scrub the metal grid blades thoroughly with a scotch brite pad. my unit was sparking like a lightening storm. after i cleaned it this way it runs perfectly.

Ionic Breeze Hybrid GP air purifier only 1/2 grid gets dirty.

I have been doing research on this unit. I read that only every other grill is suppose to collect. The remaining grills increase the electrostatic charge making the collection plates, the ones that get dirty more effective. So the bottom line is there is nothing wrong with your unit.

I cleaned my air cleaner and now it will not turn back on

When you cleaned your cleaner, you must be gentle with it. Wipe down with a lightly moist cloth or paper towel. make sure you dont shove any grime between the metal cleaning grid and the plastic holding it all together. that can cause lots of problems. Your air purifier probably wont start because of an auto shut off safety feature. Be sure that everything is in its proper place.... make sure hte front grill is fastened on correctly as well as the back grill. if those are not secured properly the unit will not start. also, check that your collection grid is placed all the way inside the unit and wait for the click noise that indicates that its locked in place. at that point the unit should turn on and you can once again enjoy fresh, pure air!

Hybrid gp problem

You have to locate the "blade" that is causing a short (usually can see it sparking; if not, reset it (turn it off then on) in a dark room and locate the problem area (this is how I figured it out).  If you can locate the offending "blade", simply tear it out of the base where the spark is occurring, fold it back against itself so the metal does not contact anything other than itself (and is no longer contacting the base where the sparks occurred).
This fixed my unit (I was just about to throw it out when I tried this solution).
