WHAT IS THE RIGHT LEVEL OF OZONE?
“The right level is when all of the generated ozone is used to accomplish the job. Initially it is best for the machine’s output to be set high to get rid of the problem odor as quickly as possible. As this is being accomplished, less ozone is needed for the diminishing odor, thereby leaving some residual ozone in the air. If the machine output is then not turned down, more residual ozone will accumulate in the air. If there is a heavy smell of ozone, then simply turn the rheostat (output level control) down.
The right level is when all the generated ozone is being consumed. This only applies to continuous ozone use in occupied environments not for shock treating. However, this is difficult to attain because it becomes a balancing act. Initially the machine’s output is set high to get rid of the problem odor as quickly as possible. As this is being accomplished less ozone is required for the diminishing odor etc., thereby leaving some residual ozone in the air. If the machine output is not turned down, then more residual ozone will remain. If a strong smell of ozone is noticed, then there is more ozone present than is required. Simply decrease the rheostat (output level control). With ozone, MORE IS NOT CONSIDERED BETTER! One must be careful when using ozone in a occupied environment. NOTE: It is not necessary that ozone be detected by humans for it to be effective. Ozone can work even when humans are not able to smell it.
