My highest reccomendation for this inexpensive unit,ZERO SMELL & cheap.

[Robweed]

and i can just set that unit on the floor next to my pc exhaust fan in my living room and its safe?

should kill the smell?

yeah this is the unit i was looking at, http://hypnotichydroponics.com/uvonair3000standard.aspx

seems great but seems like youve used them, i have no experience with them.

 

[Robweed]

the price difference between panheads recommended ozone gen and the one i was looking at is only like thirty bucks. . .

 

[NewGrowth]

That's a good price on the uvonair but that unit sucks. You should be able to safely use ozone some people are more sensitive than others. I try not to run the unit for too long when I'm in an enclosed room but I use them everywhere because they work so well. Gets rid of smoke smells and even works great to deoderize your car. Some people are not bothered by the ozone at all a friend of mine routinely sleeps in a room with an ozone-1. After a couple hours of exposure my sinus will start to feel a bit dry and irritated, leaving the room or turning it off for 30min and I feel fine. Some people also run them on timers to limit exposure. My overall experience with ozone has been very safe however, people tend to blow things out of proportion when they don't understand them.

i just ordered the ozone-1.

so im using a trash can as my flower chamber, and im keeping it in my living room. can i set this ozone generator on a timer and set it on the floor right outside my exhaust fan to kill odors?

what would be the most effective way to kill all the odors? i need them to go away like magic. lol

 

[NewGrowth]

The most effective way to kill odors is contain them. If you could pipe your exhaust air into a box with the Ozone-1 your odors would be well controlled. Also be sure there is enough negative pressure in the grow space so smelly air does not escape from cracks. Ozone also requires some 'mixing time' to control odors so you may still get a faint smell when you get really close to the source.

 

[Robweed]

Negative pressure meaning more air being blown out if the space then in?

 

[Robweed]

I also thought I remembered reading somewhere about there being a fire danger to having an ozone generator. Something about the air that is spit out from it is super flammable. Then again, it could maybe just be remembering this cuz I'm high. Lolz.

 

[NewGrowth]

You're correct about negative pressure. I wondered that myself about it producing oxygen, I've held a flame up to it nothing happens. I think it's in to low concentration, I'm actually sitting in a room with one running right now it's not bothering me a bit. People smoke cigarettes, weed, and hash in here and it smells fresh.

 

[Robweed]

ok sweet.
just got back from a night out and im just trashed. tee hee high heeeeeeee


so my exhaust is is a 6 inch duct fan, this is my thought, tell me if it would work, i take a cardboard box and hook it up to that fan on the outside of the trash can, a cardboard box about the size of a shoe box, with the ozone gen in the bottom of the box.

running on a timer of course and there are holes on the top and bottom of the box. pencil size.

would that work well?

 

[NewGrowth]

Yah that should work

 

[Robweed]

Ok sweet.

STOKED.

Just nervous about it being an explosive fire hazard.

Glad I saw this thread a couple days ago. I needed to replace my carbon filter in my 8x12x8 flower room with a new one so I went to my local hydro store and got the OZN-1 instead. Can't believe how good and quick it knocked out the smell in my flower room. It works so good that the little woman wants one for the uptairs and downstairs to elimnate pet and smoke odors in the house,...And it was cheaper than the 4 foot carbon filter I was gonna buy plus now I have an extra 800cfm fan as a back up for my 6 cool tubes.....THANKS

Hey Panhead

I'm using a carbon filter and venting straight out of my roof through a roof vent. It has worked well, but I figure you can never be too careful.. Do you think you could put one of these ozone units in the ducting? So I would scrub the air with the carbon filter, then through my turbo fan, then through my silencer, then one last scrub with the ozone inside the duct about 5-6 feet before exiting through the roof vent.

What do you think?

Thanks!

 

[NewGrowth]

Hey toolegit not sure panhead is still around. To answer your question, yes the ozone-1 can be mounted in a duct and it sounds like your set up will work great.

 

[Toolegit2quit]

Thanks NewGrowth! I think it should work too, I'll give it a try and report back on how it's working. Unfortunately I won't know how well it works for a couple months....

 

[chriscupp]

just curious...why would there be a UV light with this setup?

for you to ask dumbass questions.

personally i have found the corona discharge ozone generators work well and can run constantly or run timed programes depends on the unit you buy

they are cheaper than the uv generators and produce more ozone than the uv bulbs .. look on ebay many units are available

i did a fair bit of research on these units, 99% originate from china, and are re branded in the USA and Europe and sold at 5x the price in hydroponic stores

these units are in the range of 300mg to several grams ph of ozone produced which is dependent on humidity levels,

i do not have any humidity problems, so these units are perfect for me they are able to remove all smell from the grow room almost instantly

i have read on other threads that smelling the ozone means the unit is producing to much ozone, i would have to disagree with this
if you cant smell the unit making ozone IMO its either not making any or not making enough as i can even smell the ozone produced from my tiny 50mg ph wall socket plugin-unit

the area should be left with a mild chlorine smell, reminds me of the smell of a public swimming pool

ozone does need to be run all the time, or with only short off times or the smell will return

skunkd0c - Could you please provide us with a link to the one you are using? I would like to check out the corona discharge ozone generator but I don't know if I'm look at the right one or not. Thanks

i have had a few models off ebay all originating Chinese models i have 2 of the ones in the pic below, i also have one of the cheaper 600mg air/water models too

look on ebay you will find many of these
google the model numbers you can see they are all coming from china and just re-branded with a different name and sticker on the front

im in the uk so you will have different models available to you in the USA and cheaper too

healthfirstozone.com thats the uk front for the Chinese company these things come from
