Ozonators can make the smell of even SMELLY strains like Mikado and Romulan practically unnoticeable, unless resin glands are broken by your movements within the grow area. Place the ozonator units in the exhaust line or area or within the grow area itself, above an air circulation or intake/exhaust duct or fan. Purchase a timer to run continuously, except for 30 minutes before and during your scheduled maintenance times. Ozone has a half life of 30 minutes. You may notice a hospital type smell, if ozone levels get higher. Nothing dangerous, but reduced by the use of a timer in the aforementioned fashion. For true stealth, additional ozonators placed in the exhaust line or outside the grow area will take care of any escaping terpenes that have not been oxidized within the garden itself. Larger output inline corona ozonators are preferable for larger vented areas. There are many different sizes for different space requirements, buy the rappropriate size for your area!

They use UV light to produce ozone and require simple monthly cleaning to keep them in top working condition.They are designed to be safe commercial, office and residential use. They come with an ozone detection card to verify maximum ozone levels and your safety.
UV type ozonator maintenance
The UV bulb gets coated with dust, which reduces the amount of light emitted and therefore the amount of ozone produced. The bulb should be cleaned at least monthly to maintain peak performance. If you have never cleaned your bulb, you are diminishing the unit's effectiveness and will be surprised with the improvement in odor control afterwards.

A note about UV Ozone Generators
If you must treat the air inside the grow room due to room leaks/smell seepage it is preferable to use a UV ozone generator. UV ozonators using a frequency of 185nm (approx) do not produce nitric acid as a by-product like corona discharge ozonators do. Thus corona discharge ozone generators should only be used in the exhaust system. If using a UV ogzone generator to treat the air inside the room this could damage your plants if the concentration is too high. I also suggest putting it in the air intake so to allow some time for the Ozone to mix with the air and also not to creat a hot spot right next to the ozone machine.

i have a uvonair system and it does the trick. i have it in my exhaust vent to take care of any odors my carbon filter missed. i mainly got it to clean the stinky exhaust air form my portable a/c unit. my only question now, before i turn my a/c unit on is: will the heat harm the uvonair system at all?
i stopped using this brand because they don’t have any warranty. although they say it has a warranty they won’t honor it regardless because shipping is probably costly to canada for them. i had 4 units, 2 12” and 1 10” models all go bad real quick. i now use a cheap chinese brand called enerzen. you want to get the model with the replacement metal wire looking generators, not the printed circuit looking ones. the printed ones go bad after a few weeks, the metal grid wire ones last a good 12 months on all day full power. i’ve had some last a year so far. the replacements are on amazon for cheap because they are used in many devices just make sure it’s the correct size replacement and they all work the same. uvonair bulb versions lasted longer but it’s not the same as actual heavy duty corona discharge that last longer.
