Just what are the dangers of the Ozone Generators?

Fire? chest pain, coughing or just use it in a small space with ventilation, or?
Thanks

The dangers are exaggerated, all you need is a timer and run it eniough to cover the smell. I have the ozone generator in the pic. When my plants are in full flower I use it for 15 minutes on and 30 minutes off. Once I did run it too much and my throat was a bit sore, I just opened a window and it was fine a few minutes later.

Dude, thanks for building my confidence

I too have the ozn-1 model generator in the pic,its a kick ass unit,i have 2 of them & my rooms are large,they keep all my odors under control too.

When i 1st bought ozone generators for my rooms i went way overboard as usual,i bought 2 different industrial models,both of them will fuk you up they produce soo much ozone so fast,i quickly learned to tone it down a notch.

The ozn-1 models are perfect & no danger at all,the biggest issue with any ozone generator will be a sore throat but can go much farther than that,the ozn-1's are perfect,they produce enough ozone & at a rate that most in homes can tolerate,i use mine a bit differently than the poster above but i love it & no side effects,they are very simple units,i'd reccomend ordering a 2nd unit as a standby or at the very least a spare bulb,if your asking about ozone generators your surely having odor problems,having a unit go out with no way to take care of the smell will be a bitch,with that being said both mine run 24 hours a day 7 days a week for clkose to a year now,they are quality units.

Heres a few pics of whats inside them,i took these pics for another thread on ozone generators.

I checked out that one...do you know it uses an ultraviolet bulb? do you know how it works? it sucks in air, passing it over the bulb. it's not very efficient. if you have a few more $ to spend, look at this one.

it uses corona discharge. that is like passing air between two electric plates, or several. it works much better. also this one has a built in timer. it will burst ozone at timed intervals. this way, you'll be sure to only use as much o3 as you need.

also, do you know the final result of using an ozone generator? after the clean air? it produces oxygen and carbon dioxide. the co2 is very good for your grow.

what size area do you plan to use it?



great pics Panhead, didn't see them until I was already posting...

Corona discharge models produce much more ozone per hour but the manufacturers of corona units neglect to tell consumers how they come about that rating,they test the units for rating at optimum conditions which are at 30% relative humidity or less,in most cases much less,as the relative humidity level increases past 30% the ozone output drops dramatically,a corona discharge unit runs on the basis of static electricity,in a moist enviroment like a grow op they are not the best choice,in a 50% relative humidity grow op the levels are so diminished that they have no advantage over UV models,the manufacturers of corona discharge units also neglect to inform customers that high humidity will lead to premature burn out of the discharge plates that produce ozone.

With the decreased ozone output from humidity & the increased replacement time of the discharge plates that comes from operating a corona discharge unit in relative humidity over 30% my reccomendation's are allways for the UV models,they last longer & produce a more reliable amount of ozone with less failure no matter the humidity,a UV model will produce its rated output in 100% humidity where a corone unit will produce zero discharge in a 100% relative humidity climate.

what about this one? should i use in room with my plants?

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Ben/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]

This is my grow room 8x8x7
Shower area 3x3x7

that is true. the reason this one caught my eye is because the manufacturer claims it will operate as effectively in high humidity environments, although, they don't say how high, I do know 30-50% is not high.

I saw that one too. it also uses a uv light. personally, I have a blacklight, which doesn't produce uvc, which is the radiation that causes o2 to bind an extra electron to make o3, however, I can smell nothing outside the grow room and almost nothing inside. so, idk, my light cost $20. I'm happy. u can see my light in my avatar.
