Anyone use a ozone generator?

Grouse-

I know the air (RH wise) and water deal came up with ozone about 1 year ago on my reef forum. This was due to ozone for my reef tanks "needed" air dier (Silica Gel/beads). A well

known chemicst/Dr on the reef forum who publises many books, mags etc did a test.



Come to find out with the air dryer or now, ozone (orp slight up/down) and bleaching was not

effected. Ph went up and down. Not saying you are wrong but I think it has to do with how the unti produces ozone. I know I was happy since I have WAY to much more in salt-water coral and fish then to kill then. :) the water is so DAMN clear and no issue with health...

generally they are rated to produce x ozone as if they were on 24/7. that is significantly different than a comercial ozone machine, the purpose there is to produce x ozone PPM in 3-4 hours, rest produce it again.

Correct my fish tank goes 24/7 same as my home unit. Home units do not go that high. I think like a few hundred mg/h MAX. But I know my father has the blaster and it does about 1,500 mg/h. It is commercial as you stated. It is like a 2 sq/ft box. It is unreal...



You can start up a diesel truck in a two car garage. turn on ozone blaster and in about 2 minutes...all gone.
 
I think we are also talking concentrations and confined spaces. I've seen the effects of comercial ozone machines on wet fabrics. Mostly it effects natural dyes, or skein dyed sythetic fibers. it also has an effect on plastics and rubberized surfaces.



I would imagine that given space, and air volume it could absorb a higher humidity climate. But with a car being such a closed in space, and running a comercial ozone machine for a perscribed time. I would rather err on the side of caution.

I agree. I know first hand that plastis and rubber will get briddle. I bought a cheap protein skimmer ($300) for my reef tank and 2 year later, it was junk. You need certain material un-effected by ozone.



Yup, put a 2000 mg/h in a small car/suv..look out......like putting 55 gallons of gas on a marshmallow fire.. :shocked
 
I use an ozone machine at work for the smoked in cars, or ones that just smell funny. I leave it in for about an hour, and it leave a powerful ozone stick (I hate the smell.. try to open the doors to air it out as fast as I can while holding my breath..lol). Sometimes a vehicle is just so bad that the smoke smell can never completely come out. For example, I had a pickup truck that was filthy- Cleaned every inch of plastic, did the windows, steam cleaned all fabric surfaces (including headliner). Ran the ozone machine for at least 3+ hrs on 3 different occations. The smeel was definatly better, but unless you took off the interior panels and wiped them down, it's still gonna smell a bit.
