Ozone Generators?

Hey guys,

I have really been contemplating using a personal ozone generator for use in my office where my plants are in their tent.

This is the ozone generator I am talking about. I've heard it recommended, but I have two cats and obviously I want to keep my health as good as possible too. It says it keeps ozone <.05ppm which is the acceptable range for humans supposedly. but what about a damn cat? And will this thing actually keep the smell away?

My intended usage would either be using it once every couple of days, or using it throughout the day off and on. I'm really debating myself with this and I need your help!

I dont know anything about the type you linked

But waste water treatment plants have ben useing O3 generators for years with some sucess , I imagine they would work very well in a ventilation system

I think you're safe and the cats will be fine. There are threads here about the upper limits for humans and I know they were higher than what you described I just don't remember by how much

Thank you, I can always rely on this forum!

I bought one of the small ones from Amazon. I started getting slight nose bleeds after using it for awhile. Never had a nose bleed in my life other than from fighting. Haven't had one since either since I stopped using the ozone machine.

Ozone is dangerous to humans in high enough concentration to eliminate the odor of cannabis.

Clean your cat box. Ozone is a highly corrosive agent. While I doubt that this little thing will pump out very much, I have crazy family members who insist on running ozone generators in their homes. After about a year they started to find that things made out of rubber started to corrode. The first things to go we're all the rubber tires on a small fortune of toy cars (which turned to dust). Then the refrigerator seals, dog toys and more modern things.

But yes, it is an effective odor neutralizer. It neutralizes me too, one whiff of that shit and I'm out.

^^^ yep. It does degrade many elastomers and greatly speeds oxidation of metals.

Actually, it works very well in a ventilation system... As long as you account for the tell-tale tang of O3 which can be as big a tip off if done incorrectly. But it should not be breathed. People do it and don't die though.

On the inlines go with a corona model. The uv light models need to be cleaned and bulbs changed.

It may very well take care of your odor and be safe for you and your cat but they generally are not good at all for plants. I tried running a higher end model put out by Alpine Air some years ago and did not like the results. Sorry, can't recommend for mj odor control if it will be in same room as plants.
