HOW DOES OZONE WORK
Ozone Generators turn normal oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3) which reacts with the particles it comes in contact with and has a oxidization reaction. What that means is it will react with single celled organisms like bacteria, mould, fungal spores, etc and then smell particles, and as it reacts, the ozone reverts back to oxygen.
High levels of excess ozone can be dangerous to plants and humans, however, we have a simple system.
By using 15 minutes per hour of ozone generation you will be able to detect either plant smell or ozone with your nose. By increasing or decreasing the number of 15 minute "doses", until you have little or no residual ozone, you will be able to set the system up for yourself.
Not that as plants grow, or you grow different plants or change ventilation, you can easily adjust the number of doses for control of ozone levels.
It is essential that in the initial setup of the ozone generator that you remove all smell from room in one constant initial dose, checking every 15 minutes until smells are gone. Once any built up smell is removed, you can accurately set up the ongoing dosing.
Location behind an oscillating fan, in the inlet air duct, or anywhere the ozone can be distributed easily, without missing areas of the grow room, overdosing any particular plants, or being vented out before it can do its job.
