CRYSTAL AIR OZONE GENERATORS USED AS AN AIR PURIFIER / CLEANER

If you wish to use an ozone generator as an air purifier, cleaner, deodorizer, etc. in an occupied area you must first realize that ozone will NOT completely sterilize any environment at a level that is safe for people, plants and pets. It may however reduce the contamination when used properly, if you are trying to sterilize the surfaces of an environment please refer to the shock treatment section.

When using ozone indoors in an occupied area an ozone controller should be used to ensure that toxic levels are not reached.

(Setting Ozone Level) The right level is when all the generated ozone is being used up accomplishing its job. However, this is difficult to obtain because it becomes a balancing act. Initially the machines output is set high for a short time to get rid of the problem odor as quickly as possible. As this is accomplished less ozone is required for the diminishing odors, thereby leaving some residual ozone in the air. If the machines output is not turned down after a short while then more residual ozone will be left in the air. If there is a heavy smell of ozone, there is more ozone present than is required to do the job. Simply turn the rheostat (output level control) on the ozone generator down to reduce the ozone output. This is a case where more is not considered better. The levels of ozone required to deodorize most environments are from .03 ppm to .1 ppm.
