I just got off the phone with a friend that used to have a fire restoration business. They use lots of ozone generators. Let me summarize his comments:
- great for eliminating smoke odors
- great for eliminating most odors created by organic compounds - the extra Oxygen atom oxidizes the stinky organic item and renders it odorless
- great because the O3 penetrates very well
- as mentioned above, can kill pets, plants and yourself if not careful
- generally speaking, the bigger the machine, the better. He said, for example, 4 x 25,000 mg / hr machines would not clean as well as one 100,000 mg /hr machine
- as mentioned above: turn on machine, close up the space, return and open doors, windows etc to get a good exchange of fresh air before hanging around in the space
- he cautioned high concentrations of O3 can be
explosive
- too much ozone - burning / watering eyes and lung irritation - not nice
Imma gonna order one this weekend.
Thanks for the heads up on the tires Jim. I figure I’m ok with the beetle tires - they’re about 55 - 60 years old. My Supra needs tire replacement as the rears are 16 years old so I’m not concerned about them. The bikes all have good rubber so I’ll keep that in mind when firing up the machine. For the inside of the beetle, I suppose I should be concerned about window seals. I’ll give them a good coating of Aerospace 303 dressing before deodorizing.
