A Must Read + The Ozone Generator We Use

Ozone Generators can be an effective accessory for odor removal, mold removal and smoke odor removal. Ozone can also be used effectively for removing stale food odors by using the shock treatment method. We have used hundreds of different machines over the years for treating many odors and below is our findings.

If you want to learn more, please visit our website Quanju.

But first, you should take precaution when using ozone gas. All ozone generators should be used in unoccupied spaces only. You must remove any people, pets or plants before using the machine. Ozone gas is toxic so exposure can cause harm to your lungs. It is highly important you use the machine properly by following the manufacturers instructions. 

The best ozone machine for domestic purposes is the Enerzen Ozone Generator and for commercial operators we recommend the OdorStop OSUV ozone machine which is a more powerful and robust commercial ozone generator.

Ozone Generator Reviews

Best Ozone Generator for Home Use
Enerzen Ozone Generator Review

Over all we score this Ozone Generator very highly as these machines represent incredible value for money, have an outstanding output of Ozone gas for domestic applications (upgraded to mg in ) and has been purchased by many of my customers with great success. It is even used to minimize smog seeping into apartments in big cities! The ozone generator has a great portability as well and can be used and transported easily.

Quality

For the price this Ozone Generator is manufactured very well and is durable for normal use in a residential situation or for small areas if you are a commercial operator.

User Friendly

Easy to use controls and useful timer. Ozone Generators can be hard work some times but not this one. Excellent carry handle for transporting and a good weight, not too heavy and not too light.

Ozone Output

The Ozone output is outstanding and definitely the highlight for us along with the solid manufacturing of this unit.
The quality of manufacturing has consistently improved over the last 5 years

Our review of the Enerzen Commercial Ozone Generator
Summary

We own 5 of these machines and have had them for over 5 years now. We purchased these to do interior ozone shock treatments in cars, houses (small rooms), and pet facilities. We find them more reliable than UV ozone machines, and extremely inexpensive. 
The machinery will do a whole house (good amount of o3 output) if you move it room to room (make sure you let the gas dissipate first) or you can leave it in a central position and  for 24 hours with airflow generation done with fans . Great for sanitizing dander also. The Enerzen purifier is a powerful little unit and the Ozone Pump is strong enough to penetrate into the far reaches of a whole house.
The first thing that impressed us about these machines is the solid manufacturing and the amount of small bolts firmly holding the machine together. Some other Ozone machines we have used are very poorly constructed and do not have enough fastenings to handle the rugged life a contractor gives it, but not these unitsThey are very solid.
The unit is lightweight and easy to transport and a sensible size for storing away and placing in the work vehicle.
Size: 6.75&#;(H) x 8&#;(W) x 5.75&#;(D)
The generator weighs about 5 pounds and comes with US 110 voltage and 55 watts of power for the generator. It uses Corona discharge method of generating ozone which means less maintenance and all in all these are incredible value for the price.  The corona discharge means  no copper lining and no UV bulbs to break. But at the price of these ozone machines it&#;s not a concern as they last for years any way. We have found the slide connectors inside the units to be quite thin however this also is not a big concern and very cheap to replace if required. The  Commercial Ozone Generator has a powerful mgs/per hour of output, and a very useful timer with max setting of 2 hours. You can run the machine on &#;continual&#; and turn on and off manually. This is very helpful when using the machine for Ozone Shock Treatments such as getting rid of cigarette smoke smell in car .
The machine is well constructed and very good value for money.
Over all we love this machine and for the price you won&#;t beat it.

Very well constructed and easy to use controls with a useful timer as well. Excellent robust carry handle for transporting and being heavier than Enerzen it is ideal for transporting in a work vehicle. So over all this unit is easy to use and very effective.

Ozone Output

The Ozone output is high and care is needed. The ozone output and the ability to change out the internal plates is definitely the highlight for us along with the solid manufacturing of this unit.
The quality of manufacturing has consistently improved over the last 3 years along with the service as the company has grown.

Summary Of Odorstop Ozone Machine Features

Our review of the Odorstop Ozone Generator Another great unit from the Odorstop Stable and this one caught our eye due to the ease of servicing the Corona Discharge Plates and the ability to buy spares as shown below, The parts are easy to install and are very well priced.

Price: This unit is dearer than the others and the reason for this is it&#;s a commercial grade machine with the ability to service and replace parts. It is also a silent ozone machine.
Most Ozone machines use a Corona Discharge Method where a current is passed between metal plates and the air passing through is oxidized and turns into O3 gas. The plates get build up on them of contaminants and this can affect the Ozone Gas Output.

This machine allows you to easily remove the Metal Ozonator Plates and replace them inexpensively with new ones thus making the unit last for years. The commercial operators or landlords will be interested in this unit as it will last longer than the cheaper ones due to the ability to be serviced and have the Ozone parts and plates replaced. We think for some one working in a business using this machine, this is essential.

Design: The machine also has an air inlet filter (albeit thin) but at least it is something to try to keep the dust out. The units are quite pricey but for a commercial operator these come highly recommended for the ability to replace the ceramic plates. With Ozone machines you have two choices really. Buy something cheaper like the Enerzen and when it fails throw it away or invest more and get a commercial unit like this one and service it to make it last for 10 years or more. The machines are well constructed, solidly built and weighing in at 9.5 pounds she is quite heavy, but if you are a commercial guy weight is good!. It means the machine will be well constructed and have solid parts which is what we need for durability.
Odorstop also do a great range of blowers as well as ozone machines

I had a small water issue that left my entire house smelling damp, musty and just awful. I was trying to figure out what you do as everything in the house, i.e., furniture, clothing, you name it smelled awful. I remembered the clean up companies bringing in several ozone regenerators and how well they worked. I also recalled that my insurance company had to pay a bit over $14,000 for dry cleaning my clothing, furniture and mattresses. I purchased this and just received it. I have a large room that I had turned into a closet. I put the ozone regenerator in for 6 hours on medium. I am so thrilled. The odor is completely gone from all my clothing, the carpet, the curtains &#; the entire room. This is fantastic for such a small price. The room and clothing smell very fresh as if the windows were open in the spring. I cannot thank you enough for making such a great product!

What is Ozone?

o3 Ozone gas is a naturally occurring substance which is present in our environment and is caused by electrical currents in UV rays reacting with oxygen and forming a short life gas called o3.  Ozone generator machines (that we do machine reviews on) are a manmade way of duplicating nature and increasing the amount of ozone particles.

o3 Ozone gas is prevalent in the ozone layer and provides protection by breaking down ultraviolet radiation from the sun.  
At times Ozone gas is very prevalent on earth, particularly after an electrical storm,  when O2 gas (oxygen) is split by the electrical currents in the lightening storm and o3 gas (ozone) is created.  

Ozone breaks down very quickly particularly when there are a lot of electrolytic particles in the air known as contaminants. In highly populated areas on earth, ozone is not as effective due to the pollutants in the air. Pollution is reduced when satisfactory levels of ozone are around however humans can not breathe large levels of ozone gas as it is toxic to breathe in when it is concentrated. It will cause an irritation to the throat and lungs.
An Ozone generator machine simply  replicates nature and splits oxygen into ozone gas as a discharge via an outlet, however because the amount of ozone produced is high it is toxic to breathe. The machine typically pumps the ozone out into a room and can be turned off when required and allowed to dissipate before entering.
Ozone gas contains nitric oxide and this is why oxygen generators are often attached the source of air to form pure ozone. When moisture is mixed with ozone a residue called Nitrogen dioxide is formed and is corrosive to many items, so care is needed. High levels of moisture and humidity are required for this to happen so it is recommended to use dry air as a source for your machine.

Is Ozone effective at disinfection?

Ozone at the right concentration, is effective for apartments and living areas to provide sterilization for bacteria and viruses if done regularly using shock treatments. (small doses at regular intervals)
Ozone o3 is widely used in pet shelters to treat enveloped and non enveloped viruses. This is done with stronger levels on ozone gas. (More than 30 grams per hour) and is done overnight when all animals are removed and after a thorough clean down first. Note the treatment needs to be done on dry surfaces to ensure maximum effectiveness.

For more information, please visit ozonator for car.

Is it safe to use Ozone in my home?

Lets be very clear. Ozone is a toxic gas and needs to be used with ozone 03 safety precautions in place. An expert commercial operator who understands the dangers of o3.  Humans are not designed to breathe in concentrated forms of ozone gas o3 and doing so will lead to  problems. Your ozonator sellers should provide some service manuals with the precautions listed.

Having said that even the best Ozone generators used incorrectly will still do damage. However using a ozone machine at the right concentration, with the right safety precautions is a very effective way to provide sterilization for apartments and living areas. Ozone Shock treatments is another effective way to remove mildew and mold, however it should be noted that most ozone machines output nitric oxide when o3 is live which is toxic to humans  and should never be breathed in. So when searching for ozone generator reviews it is worth noting if the machine has an effective timer. If not then you can pick one up from a local hardware store. The critical thing here is all ozone shock treatments should be performed using a timer so the o3 gas has time to dissipate and turn back into oxygen before the occupier of the house comes home.  

Ozone is used for removing arsenic from water

Should you buy corona discharge method, ceramic ozone generator, ozone purifiers, Hvac, or ionizers. 

Its fair to say I am biased towards using ozone generators and in this article we review the best ozone generators.
We look at timers, weight and quality of manufacturing, engineering and portability attribute.
With the incredible amount of uses for an ozone generator around the home or office, Ozone is a great solution for odor removal, deodorizing, and sanitizing including  getting rid of cigarette smoke from vehicles.


As Odor Removal Experts we are happy to share what we have learned about the best ozone generators for the home and commercial work. Ozone generators. We list our opinions and findings below. We hope you enjoy our reviews useful and as you will notice this page is updated regularly so you know the information is latest breaking news. 

Buying online allows home and pet owners alike to source a reliable machine that will serve them for many years to come if they buy it right. There are of course many ozone generator machines that we don&#;t recommend as the parts are inferior.
This Ozone Generator Review page is updated regularly and we don&#;t hold back if the machine is a dud!!

Sizing Guide. How Much Ozone Do I Need?

How many milligrams of ozone per hour (mg/h) you need depends on three factors. 1) Temperature. 2) Humidity. 3) Your objective.

Humidity reduces the amount of ozone that can be created by corona discharge by the percentage of humidity in the air. At 50% humidity, you reduce the amount of ozone that can be created by 50%. At 80% humidity, you reduce the amount of ozone that can be created by 80%. So on and so forth. (If using ceramic ozone plate technology.}

For that reason, and the fact ceramic ozone plate technology poses a fire hazard, we gave up selling plate technology years ago and invested in the next generator of ozone technology. Quartz tubes. Quart tubes glass with stainless steel screens on both sides to create ozone. The next-gen is more like a UV lamp with only metal on the inside. The total amount of surface that can create ozone is 5 times larger than our old 10g &#;lined&#; ceramic ozone plate. This new technology utilizes &#;cold corona&#; which means the ozone element does not get too hot (over 90 degrees.) Ceramic plates get over 140 degrees and the stacked transformers? 180 degrees. Less heat with our tech means more ozone! Also, since the ozone tube doesn&#;t get too hot, we don&#;t need to blow a high volume of air directly over the tube to create ozone. We can &#;suck&#; the ozone that is being created on the quartz tube through a fan, which allows for 3-4 times higher ozone concentrations exiting the unit vs conventional ozone plate technology.

So how much ozone do you need? You need around mg/h per 100 square feet to create &#;shock&#; levels of ozone. (6-10 ppm) 1ppm is the EPA guideline for ozone. Above 1ppm, ozone will start to compromise the lung function of humans. Over 5 ppm, ozone will kill small insects like mites (takes around one hour of 5 ppm or more exposure) and for sure kill all molds, bacteria, and viruses which often only take minutes to kill.

How much ozone you need also depends on your objective. Are you trying to kill dust mites or bird mites? Mold or fungus? Get rid of second-hand smoke damage? Get rid of VOC&#;s? Or just freshen the air. They all take different run times and protocols.

We provide exact information on how to perform ozone shock treatments in our manuals and over the . This is just general information on how ozone works and how much you need.

PS. Beware that the ozone machines being sold on Amazon and eBay directly from the Chinese are misrepresenting the amount of ozone they create! They feature mgh ceramic ozone plates but claim to produce 30,000, 36,000, even 40,000 milligram per hour of ozone. Others sell stacked ceramic plates on a transformer that present a fire hazard with un-replaceable plates. (even worse, see below). These types of ozone cells are now illegal in most countries due to the amount of homes they&#;ve burnt down, so the Chinese are liquidating them on Amazon for less than cost just to dump them on us, probably hoping we cause some havoc along the way. So before you buy an ozone generator on Amazon. You should strongly consider asking the seller to point you to the replacement plate and cost. And forget about getting an extended warranty. They charge you shipping both ways and these units are heavy! The cost of shipping them both ways for repair far exceeds what you paid for the product. Simply ask the vendor where you can buy a replacement ozone plate. Then note the strength of said ozone plate. And please note. Those stacked ceramic plate transformers heats up to 180 degrees within minutes and since heat destroys ozone, the amount of ozone that unit will make will be greatly reduced. They actually create a burnt ozone smell that will last for quite some time. So don&#;t apply our information to those machines. They will only treat rooms up to 300-400 square feet at best, then crap out within a year because the thin copper strip of metal on the on-off switch or timer will corrode from the ozone (why our units do not feature built in timers or on-off switches) Lucky for you, you found us!

A Burnt out stacked certamic plate transformer. These can utilize 2, 3, or 4 stacked plates. The red &#;hot&#; wires that connect to the ceramic are glued on and can dislodge and electrify the metal case, creating a shock or fire hazard. Or the metal part that the plates are glued to can become so hot they melt the plastic part of the transformer, or the separators. These transformers were deemed to be a fire hazzard and discontinued around the world. The Chinese are now liquidating them at a loss on Amazon. Not only will those who purchase them have to worry about burning down their house. Or getting shocked. They&#;ll be buying an item with no future. Once the plates wear out, and they will after only a few months. They can&#;t be replaced. Making the unit completely worthless except as a door stop. And get this. Since they&#;re heavy. The cost to pay shipping both ways for a replacement is over 2 times more than the cost of the item itself!
