I have a small RV that just has an odor after being closed up for the winter. I purchased one of these, read the instructions, which clearly states how to use the device and the RV smells fresh as spring air. Thanks for your input it helped reassure me how to use it.
This is the definition of being responsible for the content you put out. Great job.
Thank you, Ryan
@@ZachFields And do not try to side track me or put words into my mouth for you are talking to a retired analyst intelligence officer of the COLD WAR era. We know things that you don't know, and compared to us COLD WAR veterans, you are just a newborn puppy surrounded by grown up battle scarred and battle seasoned veteran WOLVES!
@@darthvader5300 what happened here? Sounds like an ego complex ngl
@@MarcoMaurice LOL! You really are clueless, aren't you!?
@@darthvader5300 yea I genuinely wanna now why you’re so pissed xD
My dad works with them because he is a welder. He was able to barrow a brand new one from work for a week. He used it to clear allergens in the house for my mom. He ran it while she was out camping. He just camped in the yard.
Most people DON"T read instructions or adhere to warnings. The first video you made was just fine!
Thank you for this video, I just bought an ozone generator and needed to know the dangers of using it. I recommend this to anyone using a ozone generator
Thanks for all the info, well done.
Thank you for the heads up.
Thank you for this video! I have an ozone generator but it has been in the box unused since I bought it. It was recommended by a doctor because of the mold we had in our house, but there were so many warnings on/in the package I was not sure how to properly use it. This information was very helpful.
You should use it. Ozone destroys viruses. Just try it...I have asthma tendencies and have zero problem with mine...it clears the air if odors, mold, mildew, allergens, viruses. Don't buy all the negative hype...just use it wisely.
Use it! Not as dangerous as they say ! I am a use a ozone massage machine that creates ozone ! I have been breathing small amount of ozone for 24 years almost every Day! I am just fine ! You breath the air during a lightning storm and smell the ozone in the air ! Same stuff ! A little will not hurt you !
This video is only a source of misinformation. The guy who made this video clearly did not do any real research in to the topic.
Most ozone units for air purification come with a dial for voltage regulation that allows the unit to be adjusted for output depending on the square footage of the area so it will not be a problem if running while people are in the room.
It is also a good idea to keep the units up as high as possible as ozone weighs more than air and will sink. So, as the ozone blows out, if up high it has more time to react with itself or with compounds such as formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, mold spores, etc. breaking down and lowering levels before reaching face level where it can be inhaled.
Ozone is AMAZING for killing mold and fungus.
SO YOU WAS TOOO LAZY TO DO SOME 2MINUTE GOOGLE'ING AND JUST WASTED THAT TIME ON INSTAGRAM?
Seriously. You covered all that. Great videos and I’m subscribed. Don’t beat yourself up. You can’t hand feed every baby bird. Mother Nature has her quota!
😂 True statement!
lol, that's about right...always having to needlessly fill-in for the imbeciles...
There are a lot of people out there that do not like ozone as it cuts into their profits. Ozone is antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-viral and has been used on amputees in World War I with much success. It is the future of medicine!
Very well explained. Thank you.
I am here because my new shower has an o3 cleaning setting and I have been using it I just never really know everything.. thank you so much for the info! I will from now on close the shower when turning this on and air out later! ☺️☺️
Here's my experience for what it's worth.
I used one to try to get rid of a damp/moldy smell in my house. I had a mold outbreak in my house and I remediated the problem, but a leftover smell was just kind of hanging around. I ran the machine for 30 minutes and it did eliminate the problem, but it also created a new strong chemical smell that everyone warns about. I would describe the smell as "sweet" "metallic" "chemical" "industrial" "plastic" "vinyl" and "clean". It's a very unpleasant smell, despite its sweet and clean notes. I aired out the room, but the smell persisted. One thing that did help was running an air filter with a carbon filter. The carbon filter helped absorb the smell, but it didn't stop the smell from emanating from wherever it was emanating from. The smell does wax and wane, and seems to be worse when the weather is very humid. After about 2 weeks the smell started to die down and 4 weeks later it's almost totally gone (thankfully). If you used one in a completely empty room with no carpet, it might work better. I used one in my fully furnished bedroom and got that chemical smell. I thought 30 minutes was a very short time, but apparently not. I should have used 7 minutes to start.
In the end it was more trouble than it was worth. Be very careful with these machines. When trying to solve a problem, be careful you don't make a bigger problem in its place. I won't be using it again. It did help with the mold, but only like 1%. 99% of my mold problem was solved by simply removing the moldy materials from my house. If you're extremely sensitive to mold an ozone machine may or may not help. I can't say. But for me personally I would only recommend an ozone machine for a very terrible smell that won't stop lingering, like years of cigarette smoke, or a dead body. For everyday issues, don't bother. And if you do use one, start with a very short time, like 5 to 10 minutes. You do not want that chemical soup smell. Trust me.
I’m about to use one for a bedroom that was smoked in for about a year. I’m going to use it for 5 minutes, not an hour which someone recommended before. Thanks!
@@dizohalloran Yep, you can always do more if you need it.
hum, i wonder if putting out charcoal would have eliminated that smell. funny how they are supposed to get rid of smells, and here people saying they can leave a small. lol get some grilling charcoal. smash them up in bowls and set them around the house. See if the smell is not gone in day or two. i wonder if that works to fix the issue of after smell from this.
did you have to protect electronics, food.. etc..? if so how... and how long was it that you stayed away if any once you cut it off?
I love the smell to me it smells like fresh air 🤷🏿
Might try doing that in my container that got moldy... Thanks!
Needed this video!!! We have tried EVERYTHING to get the smoke smell out of a home we are starting to rent and this helped so much! Appreciate you!! Are you still making videos?
Very Helpful Info, Thank You! Just Got Mine Today.
Now research the facts. This video is full of misleading information.
I just worked two days on a job coughing with throat and chest pain! The project manager didn’t tell me he was running the machine! It got so bad I sat down a was coughing with runny nose! I had no idea what was going on but when I saw the warning on the little box I unplugged it and got out of there, still not knowing what the hell this thing was! 😡 I went home the day before with the same symptoms but not as severe!
I would have sued him for gross negligence and endangerment.
Good video... I do pest control and run into odor problems every so often... This was educational.... Thank You...
Ozone is nowhere near as dangerous as this guy is trying to make it out to be. I have been working with ozone and building my own units for medical and chemistry experiments for over 30 years.
And we actually inhale ozone daily and have all our lives. Ozone is generated all the way down to ground level daily by the action of sunlight on oxygen in the air, as well as from the action of lightening on oxygen in air, and UV light on smog as well as high voltage equipment. If it were as dangerous as he is trying to make it out to be, none of us would be here.
Ozone is actually nature's disinfectant and it has numerous beneficial purposes. Like anything, even water, too much can be dangerous. This is why most air purifying ozone units come with voltage regulation to adjust the concentration of the ozone based on the room size.
It also helps to put ozone units up as high as possible as ozone weighs more than air and thus sinks. By placing the units high, the ozone has more time to react with dangerous compounds such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide, as well as react with mold spores, smoke particles, odor causing compounds, etc. destroying them while reducing the ozone concentration itself before reaching face level.
Another trick is to put the ozone unit to where the ozone coming out gets sucked up in to the air intake of the air conditioner. This provides several advantages. One it helps to control pathogens in the ventilation system, and it also mixes a lot of air with the generated ozone helping to dilute it, then blowing the ozone in low concentrations throughout the living space where it can do its job. Since most air vents are in or near the ceiling, this also allows the ozone to gradually sink.
I run a medical ozone generator in my room fairly often. It is right next to my bed, and I and my dog sit right here next to it while it is running. Neither of us have ever been harmed at all by the ozone.
Now, it can be an issue for people with asthma, since it can trigger off asthma attacks at levels that would be safe for the rest of us. So keep that in mind
Those questioning should read the package insert. It is clearly stated how to use and precautions to take....ie; why they provide a "don't mot enter" door knob hanger.
Those points were well covered in the previous video. Great job. Some people need more instruction, like how to shampoo hair.
how to use shampoo?
Lather, Rinse, Repeat...@@bsuave2338
Thanks for all that information!
great video Zach, thank you.
Thanks. I was wondering about this.
You explained it really well 👍
Video was just what I was looking for! Will watch your other ozone generator videos. I want to get a unit to use in my vehicle detailing business. You have a new subscriber.
Good to know Thank you Very much for letting me know before I buy me one
They are not that dangerous. This guy has a lot to learn about ozone, which we breathe in every day and have every day of our life since it is formed daily all the way to ground level.
This is a really helpful video thank you!
Great video. Explained in a very nice a simplified manner. Thanks for creating this.
Now fact check his claims. He clearly did not research the topic properly before doing this video.
Thanks Zach, great video and very informative. It was well planned and presented.
I have one in the apartment when theres smog from outside and gets in or after lighting incense or smoking rare occasions or eating in room i use this! I also notice its good for preventing flammable fumes or chemicals
Great info. Many people complain about the skill saw hurts when they taste the spinning blade. That's the same group that would try and inhale the O3. But oh well.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I thought you covered these points just fine in the last video. It's a shame people can't actually listen. Keep up the great work :)
Thanks! Some things need a little extra emphasis. 🙂
😂 people ,,,, education can’t be taken from you…
@@ZachFields Please help! My Corvette in-cabin air filter was used by a mouse for a nest while the car sat in the garage I driven for several months. I discovered the issue yesterday when I decided to drive it. The odor coming from the AC vents was horrific!
I took the car to a Quick Lube. They removed the used filter, vacuumed the filter compartment thoroughly, and installed a new filter… but there’s still a really bad odor coming from the vents. Called my detailer. He wants to clean the car as best possible and look for dead mice… and then run a small rm ozone generator inside the car for a number of hours… and THEN run ANOTHER, larger ozone generator for addl time! This seems excessive to me!
I read that it’s possible to oversaturate a car interior with ozone… and that the ozone mixes with car interior materials like plastics and leaves “ozone byproducts” that can remain in a car for weeks and be very harmful to lung health. I am a senior and have health issues, so I’m concerned about driving my Vette after so much ozone has circulated through it.
Can you please give me your thoughts on this… plus your guidance on how long an ozone generator can safely be run inside a car interior?
I’d also like to know what size generator (or recommended brand/model) I should buy for car use in case the first time around with an ozone generator doesn’t get rid of the odor.
Thank you!
@@LoveABun I don't know what I'm talking about. But I've read and heard from multiple sources that ozone has a half life of 30 minutes, to me that makes it impossible for ozone to remain in your car for weeks. If it was my car I would leave it with the windows open for a day. You can smell ozone if its in the air also.
People just like to complain
You did cover theissues quite well in the first video but some people dont listen/think.
Always read the manual wich also covers all the issues to be aware off.
I bought an old house a few years ago wich had been sitting for some years and there were lots of mold on the walls. I bought one of the units and followed the manual and ran it for hours over some days, did a clean up of the entire house, everything and ran it again. No issues at all since then. It works very well. But when running, stay away and hold your breath when going in and openeing doors/windows.
People need to stop being so paranoid of ozone. We inhale ozone on a daily basis as it is formed naturally all the way to ground level by the action of sunlight and lightening on oxygen in the air.
Ozone units are pretty safe when used properly. Just like cars and table saws. I wonder how many people on here freaking out over ozone use dangerous pharmaceutical drugs including over the counter ones such as ibuprofen? Are they ready to put on hazmat suits when they go to ingest these drugs because of their unfounded paranoia?
I used to peddle Alpine Air machines, worked awesome.
Very well said and explained🤙🏼
Great works......
I'm a retired chemist, and I want to commend you on this video. Ozone is highly toxic, but luckily it's unstable, somewhat, as you say. Your analogy to a power tool is excellent: We wouldn't use a chainsaw for a haircut. The odor threshold for us to detect ozone is at only around 0.1 ppm / 100 parts per billion, and it can be quite damaging to us at just 1 ppm and the ACGIH ceiling level is there -- so if you can smell it, the level is too high to be in exactly as you said. If you can smell it, get out.
It's a power tool... a high power tool. Not something to mess around with, as you say. Many can and will be tragically confused with the sale of these devices on Amazon and elsewhere.
Are the clarifion devices ozone devices?
@@Kriziaalmonte negative ion generators can also generate small quantities of ozone. Studies have shown HEPA air filtration systems are more effective at removing particulates and don't generate any ozone.
@@ayo9057 yes
@@JohnClulow thank you John!
Hey, so my dad and I just used an ozone generator ( which I now regret cause it’s just so strong. The smell is strong. ) we did 2 rooms and left the house for 8 hours for both rooms.. and then turned the machine off after 8 hours of it being on and went out for 4 hours to let the house air out and opened a few windows too. The smell is still here not as strong but def can smell it. Will it have any negative health effects on us if we ended up sleeping in the house that night that u might know of?

I built my own 12v Ozone generator, and it works very well, and what you say about Ozone being bad for you is quite correct. It is very harmful to ALL life forms, including Plants and animals. remove plants and pets before using one. BTW I made mine for just under £6 GBP ( about 9 $US)

Hello, I had a "Living Air" ozone generator. The multi-level company that sold it to me was Ecoquest. Ecoquest had bought the company from the original owner and inventor of ozone technology, who named his company Alpine Air.
Anyway, we were always told to turn the generator up just to the point where you could smell the ozone and then back it down to where you couldn't smell it. You have to be careful at this point because you can get used to 'the fresh smell' and have more ozone than you should.
I really loved my generator. I felt like I had more energy. I loved the ionizing effect where the dust motes were clumped together by the process and when the sunlight beams came through my living room windows, it showed virtually NO dust motes drifting in the air, whereas before using my generator, the air would be thick with dust motes. This in a living room with no wall-to-wall rugs or area carpets. Just hardwood floors.
I also found the dust would all clump together at the baseboards around the perimeter of the room, so super easy to keep clean. It was great for having a healthy house, I thought.
My machine eventually stopped working and Ecoquest closed down. I didnt know where to get parts or support for fixing it. - I don't know if anyone bought the company. I had moved and lost contact with my upline. It was a WONDERFUL product.
You are really cool
Thanks for the big brother tips!🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure!
It's a great quality to have if you're going to raise children of your own 👍
Excellent video👍🏾👍🏾 what your opinion on an ozone laundry system for home use?
Excellent video Brother. I'm a new subscriber. Before I buy, do I need to unplug appliances before using the ozone generator? Should I avoid using the generator if I have a gas stove?
Thank you so much for this. We are planning on using one in an unoccupied and empty mobile home. How long should we let it air out after using it to be sure all is out? Also how long should we run it?
People who say ozone is dangerous, don’t know how beneficial ozone can be. Even the medical community recognizes this.
We use an ozone generator at the factory to pierce microscopic holes into plastic sheeting. It's gives ink the ability to hold to the film without bleeding off. An employee touched the wrong piece of metal and it arked into him. A current ran thru his palm and shot out of his forearm. He was locked in place. And moments after was blasted about 8 feet away and onto the floor. Make no mistake. Working with an ozone generator can be dangerous. Very dangerous.
water is good for health
would you breath it ?
a good way to lose your sense of smell for 2 days yea.
I had a setup that ran at 32 amps which generated ozone at a scary rate to the point where blue gas was coming out the tube and it needed scrubbing.
Wow…wish I had done more research before I ordered one from Amazon. Mine is arriving today (just ordered it yesterday). 🥺
"I breathed this in straight, and it hurt my lungs." - well, just keep breathing it till the ouch stops...

Sucks that the company my dad works for did not train him on it, he walks into a property smells something Wierd then goes to check it out and turns it off and then walks around and almost passes out and starts to vomit. If training was good he would of known these steps on video
I've been using my ozone machine every day in my room, it helps my allergies alot and clears my nose up. Now I'm spooked
i hope you only use it when you're away and air out the room for a long time before going in there again??!?
Are you sure it's an ozone machine and not a air purifier or dehumidifier??
Some air purifiers use ozone generators... :/
Sounds like you have an Ozone Therapy/Ozone Air Purifier machine. Totally different animal to what is being discussed in this video. These machines are made to produce massive concentrations of O3 to eliminate odors, pest control and for mold remediation. Not the same thing at all.
No reason to be so paranoid. This guy really does not understand ozone or ozone generators very well.
We actually inhale ozone daily and have all our lives. Ozone is generated all the way down to ground level daily by the action of sunlight on oxygen in the air, as well as from the action of lightening on oxygen in air, and UV light on smog as well as high voltage equipment. If it were as dangerous as he is trying to make it out to be, none of us would be here.
I have been building my own ozone units for therapy, chemistry experiments and air purification for over 30 years. I often run ozone in my house to cleanse the air and I am in the same room. Never been harmed by it.
One of the things this guy does not comprehend is that these ozone generators come with voltage regulation to adjust the ozone output per square feet of the room. He also failed to mention that it is best to put these units up as high as possible as ozone weighs more than air and thus sinks. By placing the units high, the ozone has more time to react with dangerous compounds such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide, as well as react with mold spores, smoke particles, odor causing compounds, etc. destroying them while reducing the ozone concentration itself before reaching face level.
Tell me, are you just as paranoid about water as well since drinking too much too quick kills a lot of people each year from water intoxication?
Ozone is an issue in high concentrations, which again is why these units have to be used properly. If someone is being stupid with a running chainsaw and severely cuts a leg would you blame the chainsaw? Or the person not using the machine properly?
As a therapy, ozone therapy is fantastic for so many things. For example, I have never found a safer, nor as effective cancer treatment in my 44 years of cancer research. Plenty of medical studies on this as well as for many other diseases and conditions. Ozone therapy is effective for cancer, heart disease, covid, disc degeneration, HIV, hepatitis, burns, MRSA, viral, bacterial and fungal infections, autoimmune conditions, supporting immunity, wound healing, etc. You can find all sorts of these medical studies on PubMed and in the medical databases.
Thank you for this video. We recently had an Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tub installed. One of the buttons to operate the massage jets is labeled AIR. When I turn this on I get a very strong metallic smell. So strong it seems I taste a metallic taste. I called the company and they said it is the Ozone generator. I’m listening to your video thinking why would they put an ozone generator in a tub to be used in a small enclosed room like a bathroom where it would be breathed in?! I’m at a loss as to what I should do now after watching your video.

As for the smell, this is not likely the ozone as it rapidly breaks down, especially in hot water. What people generally smell long term are the acids formed when air is used as the starting gas.
How long should you air out the space for?
This info is new to me, gotten from 2 other vids like this, but I think I want to buy one. I figure I could turn it on before I leave for work and by the time I get home the O3 should be all gone, but would I still need to vent fresh air from the outdoors? I hate bad odors, have a recently renovated crawl space I'd like to KEEP mold free..I hate odors from curing paints and similar..The latest
spaz I have is caused from buying a used guitar amplifier, the odor is obviously cigarette but it has a bar like odor because the amp was used in bars on gigs, it's got an O-DEAR!
Gates plans on ionizing the air.could this set up for ignition of the air ?
Run the ozone generator while you are at work if there will be no people or pets in the home during that time. Use the timer to shut it off AT LEAST two hours before you return, or run it on continuous while plugged into a smart plug so you can control it remotely and/or through Alexa. It’ll work great. I do this almost daily in my home.
No people
No pets
No plants
Ozone is nowhere near as dangerous as this guy is trying to make it out to be. I have been working with ozone and building my own units for medical and chemistry experiments for over 30 years.
And we actually inhale ozone daily and have all our lives. Ozone is generated all the way down to ground level daily by the action of sunlight on oxygen in the air, as well as from the action of lightening on oxygen in air, and UV light on smog as well as high voltage equipment. If it were as dangerous as he is trying to make it out to be, none of us would be here.
Ozone is actually nature's disinfectant and it has numerous beneficial purposes. Like anything, even water, too much can be dangerous. This is why most air purifying ozone units come with voltage regulation to adjust the concentration of the ozone based on the room size.
It also helps to put ozone units up as high as possible as ozone weighs more than air and thus sinks. By placing the units high, the ozone has more time to react with dangerous compounds such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide, as well as react with mold spores, smoke particles, odor causing compounds, etc. destroying them while reducing the ozone concentration itself before reaching face level.
Another trick is to put the ozone unit to where the ozone coming out gets sucked up in to the air intake of the air conditioner. This provides several advantages. One it helps to control pathogens in the ventilation system, and it also mixes a lot of air with the generated ozone helping to dilute it, then blowing the ozone in low concentrations throughout the living space where it can do its job. Since most air vents are in or near the ceiling, this also allows the ozone to gradually sink.
I run a medical ozone generator in my room fairly often. It is right next to my bed, and I and my dog sit right here next to it while it is running. Neither of us have ever been harmed at all by the ozone.
Now, it can be an issue for people with asthma, since it can trigger off asthma attacks at levels that would be safe for the rest of us. So keep that in mind.
@@Seek_Him You really need to educate yourself on the topic. I run my medical ozone generator frequently in the room right next to me and my dog stays in the room with me. It has never harmed us. The danger is in high concentrations being inhaled, which can damage the lungs.
And if running air as a starter gas there will be some irritating acids formed. People often incorrectly attribute the irritation to the ozone.
It does not harm plants either.
@@Hveragerthi
Well, Thank you very much!
Someone was using it in a old home, I just thought I would look into it.
& You are correct, I'm still alive 😁
So my home is a pole home & full of unseen Mold spores, would this machine get rid of mold?
I sent a sample to a lab & they identified five different types of mold
Very helpful, thank you for this. It relives some of my anxiety :)
Thanks for your video. Quick question for you (or anyone who knows). If I run it for 3 hours and then leave for a week, will it still need to be aired out or will a week of it being unoccupied be sufficient?
For example. If I run it before leaving on a vacation.
A neighbor of mine had really bad OCD and was concerned about the air quality in his condo. He purchased 3 of these and set them up in his apartment. He used them while he was living in the apartment. A few days later I could smell the metallic smell in my condo next door. The fire dept was called and they found him lying dead in his bed. Coroners report stated it was accidental suffocation.
How do you suffocate on air and ozone that is naturally in air anyway? Obviously there is a lot being left out of this story.
@@Hveragerthi yeah I'm not sure man. I'm not a doctor or a scientist so you would have to do the research on what these things do and how they are bad for all living things not just humans. I know it has something to do with the way they physically change the air molecules. And he died from asphyxiation, not suffocation, if that makes a difference.
@@mikeyc2500 I have been in medicine for 44 years and have been working with ozone therapy for over 30 years. I have done the research unlike the idiot who put this video together making people paranoid without the facts.
Are you aware ozone is formed daily all the way to ground level naturally? That means humans have been inhaling ozone on a daily basis since the first days humans existed on Earth.
Accidental suffocation could have been from various things. That does not mean ozone had anything to do with it. You are jumping to conclusions with no evidence to back up your beliefs. Presence of does not mean cause of.
Bro thats cazy 👀
@@Hveragerthi look up how ozone works you have the wrong info
We at Pure Water For All Foundation have been working on this problem for decades
Does it only reduce the mold smell? Or does us tackle mold?
An important tip is to make sure the generator has a constant supply of untreated air. If the treated ozone air runs back through the generator you will end up forming nitric acid & oxides. A good way to run these things is to aim them into an hvac return vent and run them for 5-10 minutes during a heating, cooling or fan cycle preferably with a window open. This will evenly disperse a safe concentration throughout the living space to deal with odors, viruses, spores etc. without harming the occupants.
These particular generators (carry handle, timer, 500ppm plates) were designed for commercial use so please respect them when using them in your home. Another benefit is the negative ions they create can elevate your mood and energy levels.
I have a room person had puppy. Treated w orange odor. then w Kiltz enamel oil based odor.. 2-3 coats hit concrete slab and drywall. Chemical smell remains LT. Will this work? Can behind drywall be treated?
Thank you.
Nitrogen and sulfur oxides are formed in the first pass if air is used as a starter gas. They are also formed in the environment all the time by lightening and the action of sunlight on smog.
How long does it take for the nitric acid to dissipate if didn’t have enough oxygen? How can you tell if this has occurred. ..And do you leave a window slightly cracked in order to prevent this from happening or do something else. Thank you.
30 minutes ish
the ozone and oxides have their own distinctive odors ozone being more fresh & pleasant while the oxide have a noticeably less desirable stronger odor
Opening the window would work if you could put the intake of the ozone unit right up to the screen so it is being fed with a constant supply of untreated air. You could actually have a dedicated ozone generator installed in your hvac system or get smaller air freshener type units that you plug in around your home and leave them running 24/7
Can you use it in an apartment in a building with other apartments around, if I close the doors and windows or will the surrounding apartments be affected?
How long to air out to be safe 🙏
'Organic' ? would it attack leather chairs or car seats? Thank you.
I got a plug in for the bathroom for mold mildew problems
Are these safe to use around stainless steel appliances?
What percent should the meter be set on?
Question? Just bought an rv and it smells heavily of smoke from cigarettes. We are scrubbing all the surfaces with oxyclean and other cleaners and will paint with a kills based paint but wondering if this will help afterwards? About how long should I treat with ozone? We have one month for Reno
Ozone smelling can be tricky if the amount rises slowly. Your nose gets used the the smell and it can seem very low smell. After spending some minutes outside the room and coming back can reveal a very high ozone smell you did not smell before.
What does it smell like?

Thank you very much for your explanation . I got seriously sick in my sleeping room which later turned out to be from hidden mold . When the mold was dicovered we treated it but spores got scattered throughout the whole house . Now i'm sick throughout the whole house , whereas before i could recuperate in the attic and living room . Pain in throat , nose , eyes , headache , tired , down , it is hell pushing one towards complete despair . Like stinging in a dry throat .These scattered spores are impossible to find and clean with soda , unless one knows the where contamination contacts were . Your video showed me a another solution . If this is true with this ozone , then maybe i will get a life back . Does ozone kill mold spores ? With much gratitude for your video . Thanks .
Breathe eucalyptus oil for the mold. Just rub some on the nose. Dab a TINY TINY TINY bit on the eye lids and corner of the eyes for the weepy eyes. TINY TINY TINY, ok? You'll figure it out.

Yes, ozone will destroy mold spores in the presence of moisture. Oxidizers like this require moisture to work.

There was a famous(?) article in the magazine of the "Institution of Electrical Engineers" back in the 1950s or 1960s (I believe) entitled "The Killing Fields". This article discussed the apparent statistical correlation between instances of cancer among the general population (of the UK) versus the physical routes of high voltage electrical distribution pylons around England. The article expressed the view, not only that ozone was poisonous, but also that it could induce cancer into living organisms.
I don't know whether or not this view of cancer causation was subsequently confirmed, but I understood that the above-mentioned correlation was an accepted fact. For those wishing to pursue this subject, the original article might be available from the library of the "Institution of Engineering and Technology".
Just ordered myself one.
1 question: Will it potentially damage any electronic equipment in the room (corrosion?) , should I take all electronic equipment out??
Zach, great video! Very informative! I’m planning on using one of these in an unused fireplace chimney/flue, there hasn’t been a live fire in there for about 15 years and the flue damper is rusted stuck in the mostly closed position. Any advice on the most effective way to get rid of that burnt smell using one of these things?

@@Hveragerthi I heard a radio program host who was talking about getting rid of cigarette smoke smell in rental properties say that they actually put it inside the air inlet (past the air filter) since it can't pass through walls or solid objects, it's the easiest way to get it through the entire house--so this fits what you were saying.
If you do have allergies when is a good time to return after opening up the windows? One, two days… ? Just rented a house that has a horrible odor but my son has allergies, I was going to purchase one of these and get a hotel room for a couple days but how long would be a safe time for my son to return?
Would be using this in my basement..my furnace is in my basement and my concern would be blowing c03 into the first floor of my house after using the ozone generator..would be hard to keep out of house to air it out so maybe this machine wouldn’t work for me
What about electronics (household appliances, computer, monitor), does it damage it?
Thank you very much. I didn't know any of this. I just got one, today, tried it, bout 15 minutes. Felt unwell. Then Google. Well. You said the rest. Still feel funny.

My buddy bought a house and lately discovered he and his family are overcomed by cigarette smoke. There clothes smell, closets, their child is affected, well the entire family.
They asked how to render problem...Do they have to remove clothes, furniture etc. when ozone machine is used?
A lot of high-end air conditioning units use ultraviolet lights to crack oxygen in to ozone and it’s continuously circulating through the duck work and house as long as the Air handling units are running in very small quantities and most people don’t even notice it. Especially here in Southwest Florida it’s very common because it’s next to impossible to keep mold out of the AC ducks any other way and mold is far more dangerous than Ozone.
Good points, but its "duct", not "duck."

*VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. Power Tools vs Ozone Generators.*
*1.* Power Tools = Moving/Separating Particles (+/-), very little fusing.
*2.* Ozone Generators = Fusing Particles.
*3.* This is why some people are being sick of/by using "Ozone Generators" and NOT "Power Tools". Why? It's like WiFi and Bluetooth and Cell Phones Signals. These Particles (+/- Power) are fused rather than just separated. When fusing, it becomes what is known as Non-Ionizing Particles.
*4.* To all people who are sick because of Ozone Generators + WiFi and Bluetooth and Cell Phones Signals + more. You are not alone and some of you are unaware of its danger, I can teach you more.
*5.* After using these for about 5+ years, I became 'EMF Sensitive'. 14 years later (2022) my blood went backward and now I am facing Leukemia.
*NOTE:* Please pay attention to your surrounding, you can learn a lot. If you want Ionized Air. Just go and sit in the shade on Sunny Day and breathe it, that is the most beneficial thing you can do to your body and best of all..... FREE !!!
*NOTE 2:* If you don't believe me, KEEP USING IT and you shall see. When you get your Cancer, you will remember this post and my story. So yea... GIVE YOURSELF FREE CANCER !!!

Oh no. I have been using an ultra violate light that lets out ozone and I can smell it. Been smelling it for 3 weeks now in my office space. I better look into the damage it causes.
Hi Zach. I've ordered one to remove a very bad case of cigarette smell on a guitar, but you're talking about oxidation. Could this machine make the metal hardware of a guitar rust? Thanks
Yes. Rust is Iron Oxide. Ozone will cause metals to Oxidize aka "rust" very quickly.
Hi. I find similarity to hydrogen peroxide but can it kill virus, bacteria and fungus infested garden soil ? If yes, how do we apply to such infected soil? Thanks and shall appreciate your feedback.

What will be the average ozone output & timing for a midsized car ?
I just used mine for the first time yesterday in my bedroom. I left it on for 3hrs with auto shut off. When I returned to my house 6hrs later the smell in the room was gone but now the room had weird smell. The best way I can describe it is a metallic smell (very unpleasant smell). I opened the windows and turned on the ceiling fan and let it run all night in the room while I slept on the couch. I went back in the room this morning and it smells the same. One the instructions it says the smell should dissipate within 24hrs. I hope by this evening or tomorrow the smell is gone. I think the next time i use it I'm going to use it for 30 minutes and see how that does. I think I over did my room running it for 3hrs
Do as he recommends and 1. 20 minutes for a small room. 2. As he states in video, after use, open a window, fan air it out.
and?
Did the smell ever dissipate? I need to run one of these generators in a Corvette to get rid of mouse odors from in cabin air filter they heated in. But I’m worried about over saturating interior with harmful ozone byproducts.
So many people leave these comments and never answer to clarify what the resolution was
Ozone can accelerate the breakdown of certain materials. So if you have older items made from plastics, it will cause off-gassing. Reduce the amount of time you are using the ozone in a certain area to prevent this.
