OZONE GENERATOR: A LIFE SAVER

As a newcomer to our gathering then, you would never believe you were in a once extremely smelly place.

Once upon a time, while I was in a country in Asia, I volunteered in a missionary work. Over there, they didn’t really have a real place to worship. Well, as things played out, a local pig farmer offered us a pig house. It was to be used as a place of fellowship temporarily, pending the period our main building will be ready.

We cleaned the place rigorously. Nonetheless, the smell of the place was still as concentrated as ever, we used best of air fresheners and sprays but it still won’t work. Then, we went for this ozone generators. Sprayed the place and after 24 hours, behold the place was smelling new. As a newcomer to our gathering then, you would never believe you were in a once extremely smelly place.

Here is the top selection of the best Ozone Generators on Amazon.com

  

Ozone generators are a versatile tool, with multiple applications, and they also happen to be extremely effective at odor elimination. Ozone generators, also referred to as ozone machines, are ozone-generating devices that intentionally produce ozone gas. When sold as air purifiers to be used in indoor occupied spaces, they are marketed to be safe and effective. Ionizers and electrostatic precipitators end up producing ozone as a byproduct as a result of their internal mechanisms.

As with all technology purchases, there are units with various price points, corresponding to varying levels of quality. Of course, more expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better quality, in fact, it is the generator’s functionality and its overall design that should drive your buying decision. With price still important, but secondary to the required features that will lead to your overall satisfaction after the purchase. There are a variety of ozone generators on the market today, all with very similar designs

The following are key points in selecting the right ozone generator:

Generating source

You must know if it is either Ultra violet or corona discharge. Also, the fan that pushes the gas out of the unit’s housing in a linear fashion must be checked; and the unit’s cabinet, with power cord, on/off switch, etc.

Be aware of what you’re paying for with your investment. A stainless-steel cabinet is pretty, but it has nothing to do with the amount of ozone generated by the unit. Large, expensive, bulky units, aren’t necessarily the best investment. Also consider the design elements that provide advantages down the line in terms of unit maintenance.

Generation Method

The “quality” discussion begins with the technology of the ozone generation. “Shock Treatment” levels of ozone are required to be effective in addressing all of the problems mentioned in the Applications section above. In order to achieve success with ozone “Shock Treatments,” you need a generator with the Corona Discharge method, (the Ultra Violet generators do not have the necessary output).

Ozone Output

When choosing a generator, make certain that you know how much ozone the unit will deliver, generally measured in milligrams per hour or (mg/hr.). If the manufacturer doesn’t list the unit’s output, chances are the output levels are low, (and most likely too low to be an effective tool). As noted above, the Corona Discharge methods is actually more economical than Ultra Violet generation which means that you will get more mg/hour output for your money.

Gas Distribution

Another quality element to pay attention to is the fan used to move the gas out of the cabinet and into the room. Believe it or not, “bigger isn’t always better!” Some manufacturers brag of having high horse power blowers, but they actually promote reduced plate life, by increasing the temperature of their operation.

Unit Housing

The generator’s housing is another element to discuss. Some manufacturers spend a fortune on stainless steel cabinets which adds cost and unnecessary weight. As it happens, some of the lower output generators on the market today (Ultra Violet units), are sold in expensive stainless-steel housings! In addition to being heavier, these units generally aren’t stackable, so they are harder to transport and store.

Maintenance

The ability to maintain the generator yourself is a very important feature. Cleaning the generation source or replacing a fuse should be easy for all levels of users. Additionally, the cost of maintaining the unit (e.g. changing the plates) should also be economical. Many units on the market today don’t have “cleanable” generating elements, and to replace these elements costs a small fortune.

Satisfaction Guarantee

Choose a manufacturer that stands by their product. There are two ways a manufacturer can demonstrate their commitment to your satisfaction:

Money Back Guarantee: Does the manufacturer accept the return of the generator, assuming it is in “like new” condition, within a specified time frame?

Warranty: Does the manufacturer warrant that the generator will be free from defects in material and workmanship for an extended period after purchase?

Uses of Ozone generator

Killing Mold and Mildew

Using ozone air purification to “blast” or “shock” mold and mildew is a common commercial practice. Airborne mold spores can be harmful to health, especially the lungs and respiratory system. Mold and mildew can trigger asthma and allergies, so removing them is always a top priority. However, mold removal often requires the removal and demolition of building materials, including wood framing, sheet rock, carpet, and ceiling panels. With ozone generators, mold can be removed in a relatively quick and affordable fashion.

Removing Bacteria, Germs, and Viruses

 Disease-causing substances like bacteria, germs, and viruses are often hiding in plain sight. Places like the kitchen sink, bathroom floor, TV remote, and even the salt and pepper shakers can all hold bacteria and germs, increasing the likelihood of sickness in your home. Ozone generators, however, have proven abilities to remove many disease-causing substances by attacking the contaminants at the molecular level.

Removing Odors

 One of the most common uses for ozone generators is the removal of odors. In the same way that it attacks mold or bacteria cells, ozone gas will also attack the physical airborne cells that make odors. This can be useful for many different purposes, including hotel rooms that have lingering smells from tobacco smoke. Another potential use is by landlords who need to remove the smell of pets from their properties, or by average homeowners who simply want to remove a foul odor in their home. Using ozone gas is often a last-ditch effort to remove an odor. When other techniques, such as cleaning solutions and scented air fresheners fail, having ozone concentrations can be used to “shock” the room.

There are other uses, but these are the main reasons that people choose to release ozone chemicals into their homes, businesses, and property.
