Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable?

Ny experience with ionizers is that they cause dust to precipitate around them.  In other words they cause airborne dust to settle out of the air, I imagine on your LP.

wind across your tonearm will cause more miss tracking than the potential benefit.

pre-treatment does not last a full side.

i have 3 turntables, and three anti-static ionizers that project negative ions on the pressing as it turns. but no air movement. they are not cheap.

dweller - I have a Zero Stat gun.  Good suggestion.  I'll try it.

erik_squires - point well taken.  Still might be worth trying

Mikelavigne - I'm assuming the "fan" is more like a very gentle breeze, but your point is well taken.  What is the name of your anti-static ionizer?  I have a $20K turntable - not cheap to me.  

Look for the source of your static. Are you playing records on carpet with socks- huge cause. Once my records are cleaned, no static charge. I work and play in bare feet. There are ways to discharge static on a record, but my suggestion is to figure out what is causing the charge and address that. It's not something that should normally interfere w/ LP playback. 

By the way, the usual way to teduce static is to use a humidifier.
