Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?

In that device, what keeps the positive and negative ions in the air flow from combining with each other before excess charge of either polarity that may reside on the target can be neutralized?

@lewm love that Acaia ion been and it’s only $150.00

I really don’t know.  I’m trying to figure out what might work but maybe an inonizer isn’t the perfect answer to destatic vinyl records.  That’s why I’m posting to see what might work.  It just seems that whenever you take a device and label it as an audio product the price multiples dramatically.  
I also noticed that it’s not good to run an ionizer continuously while in the room.  So if something like this would work to destatic vinyl it should be only be used for brief times I guess.  Here are the specs of this unit:

Specification 

Current Consumption: 0.25A or 0.12A 

Air Velocity: 45CFM-110CFM (Adjustable) 

Air Flow Characteristics: 40cm*60cm 

Operating Temperature: 0～50℃ 

Ion Balance(Offset Voltage): 0±10 V. 

Noise level: ＜57dB 

Air volume: 1.0～2.0㎥／min 

Ion Needle Material: Pure Copper 

Silicone power cord length: 1.7m 

Test Results 

• Test Voltage: 1KV-100V 
• Ambient Temperature: 22 ℃ 
• Test Humidity: 75%RH 
• Test Distance: 300mm 600mm 900mm 
• Neutral Time: positive 1.2s 2.5s 3.9s 
• negative 1.3s 2.6s 4.1s 
• Residual Voltage: positive 8V 5V 4V 
• negative -7V -6V -3V

I also found a small battery or USB powered version that would mount easily on a stand next to your turntable but apparently this also should only be used for a short time.  
maybe an ionizer isn’t a good device to use for records?  I’d love to hear what others think.  I was just hoping to find an inexpensive alternative to these expensive devices. 
 

“It’s not good to run an ionizer continuously…”

That cautionary note applies only to devices that generate ozone. The devices we’ve mentioned so far don’t produce ozone.

On second thought, that plasma igniter might produce a tiny amount of ozone, but you’d not run it constantly, and the amount of ozone produced would be trivial.

I currently have the Destat 3 and it works quite well.
