Dear John Gilmer:

Brand unimportant, just make sure that it has an air

ozone is made are in general intolerant of ozone being

The above is the company/model that has caught my eye.
If you have some spare time can you take a look and offer
some comments?

Looks OK up front.

Their "salespeak" has very little to do with real chemistry. In an
air stream with humidity, NO2, N2O, and N2O5 are made and no salesman
can stop it from happening.

3000 mg/hr might take a couple of hours to treat a reasonably sized
home, depending on the contamination level. You'd need to develop a
feel for how much a unit would require.

It appears to be "hardened" against reingestion of ozone, so the ozone
unit could be locked inside while you go elsewhere. Still need mixing
and distribution fans, however.

I would hope that "diffusion" who get it around a room. The furnace fan
would take the O3 about the rest of the house if I place it near the intake.


Take note of their cleaning instructions, especially if you do let it
breathe humid air (like you and I are used to). The plates will
accumulate something that devolves into "fuming nitric acid"... very
bad stuff.

Oh, boy!

For the next month or so (as long as the cold weather holds) the place will
be near "bone dry" as I can get it. But I get your message to not use it
when it's damp outside.


I forgot to mention, ozone is really good at attacking the kinds of
adhesive used on shelf / drawer liners. No help with wallpaper
adhesives, I'm afraid. ;)

Darn!
