Why PVC plastic and not steel or aluminum?
The reason is cheap steel will rust and oxidize in a high ozone environment. Every part in an ozone generator has to be carefully chosen. Many companies are even using pretty wood boxes that resemble loudspeakers. These ozone generators look nice but it is highly impractical to use wood as on ozone generator case. It will quickly deteriorate and warp in a high ozone or moisture filled environment. Wood cabinets look nice, but are highly impractical for use in an ozone generator. T hey can actually begin flaking apart in just a few months of use. We came to the conclusion that using High Impact PVC Plastic for the outer casing and the inner chassis was the way to go. PVC does not oxidize nor deteriorate with age and use in a high ozone, or moist environment. After much testing we found that PVC plastic was the way to go. High Impact PVC’s are also used in the construction the United States Space Shuttles. High Impact PVC is extremely sturdy, and expensive. Don’t be fooled by other compa
