    I have a small RV that just has an odor after being closed up for the winter. I purchased one of these, read the instructions, which clearly states how to use the device and the RV smells fresh as spring air. Thanks for your input it helped reassure me how to use it.

    Thank you for this video, I just bought an ozone generator and needed to know the dangers of using it. I recommend this to anyone using a ozone generator

    My dad works with them because he is a welder. He was able to barrow a brand new one from work for a week. He used it to clear allergens in the house for my mom. He ran it while she was out camping. He just camped in the yard.
  • Thank you for this video! I have an ozone generator but it has been in the box unused since I bought it. It was recommended by a doctor because of the mold we had in our house, but there were so many warnings on/in the package I was not sure how to properly use it. This information was very helpful.

    This is the definition of being responsible for the content you put out. Great job.

    I just worked two days on a job coughing with throat and chest pain! The project manager didn’t tell me he was running the machine! It got so bad I sat down a was coughing with runny nose! I had no idea what was going on but when I saw the warning on the little box I unplugged it and got out of there, still not knowing what the hell this thing was! 😡 I went home the day before with the same symptoms but not as severe!
  • Needed this video!!! We have tried EVERYTHING to get the smoke smell out of a home we are starting to rent and this helped so much! Appreciate you!! Are you still making videos?
  • @Peppy12
    Thanks for all the info, well done.
  • @dougdobbs
    Might try doing that in my container that got moldy... Thanks!
  • Most people DON"T read instructions or adhere to warnings. The first video you made was just fine!
  • @forcebid
    Seriously. You covered all that. Great videos and I’m subscribed. Don’t beat yourself up. You can’t hand feed every baby bird. Mother Nature has her quota!
  • @jeepj27
    Thank you so much for this. We are planning on using one in an unoccupied and empty mobile home. How long should we let it air out after using it to be sure all is out? Also how long should we run it?
  • You did cover theissues quite well in the first video but some people dont listen/think. Always read the manual wich also covers all the issues to be aware off. I bought an old house a few years ago wich had been sitting for some years and there were lots of mold on the walls. I bought one of the units and followed the manual and ran it for hours over some days, did a clean up of the entire house, everything and ran it again. No issues at all since then. It works very well. But when running, stay away and hold your breath when going in and openeing doors/windows.
  • @webventures
    Video was just what I was looking for! Will watch your other ozone generator videos. I want to get a unit to use in my vehicle detailing business. You have a new subscriber.
  • @jmo8a_veda
    I have one in the apartment when theres smog from outside and gets in or after lighting incense or smoking rare occasions or eating in room i use this! I also notice its good for preventing flammable fumes or chemicals
  • @phili7347
    I am here because my new shower has an o3 cleaning setting and I have been using it I just never really know everything.. thank you so much for the info! I will from now on close the shower when turning this on and air out later! ☺️☺️
  • I thought you covered these points just fine in the last video. It's a shame people can't actually listen. Keep up the great work :)
  • @codenamesteve
    great video how about under a single home with vents should I seal all vents and run the ozone machine it is a "eco system selective settings up to 3000 sq feet" . there was moisture underneath from a plumbing problem fixed no more leaks but a smell I would like to get rid of your thoughts?
  • @willmallory9085
    Excellent video Brother. I'm a new subscriber. Before I buy, do I need to unplug appliances before using the ozone generator? Should I avoid using the generator if I have a gas stove?
  • Here's my experience for what it's worth. I used one to try to get rid of a damp/moldy smell in my house. I had a mold outbreak in my house and I remediated the problem, but a leftover smell was just kind of hanging around. I ran the machine for 30 minutes and it did eliminate the problem, but it also created a new strong chemical smell that everyone warns about. I would describe the smell as "sweet" "metallic" "chemical" "industrial" "plastic" "vinyl" and "clean". It's a very unpleasant smell, despite its sweet and clean notes. I aired out the room, but the smell persisted. One thing that did help was running an air filter with a carbon filter. The carbon filter helped absorb the smell, but it didn't stop the smell from emanating from wherever it was emanating from. The smell does wax and wane, and seems to be worse when the weather is very humid. After about 2 weeks the smell started to die down and 4 weeks later it's almost totally gone (thankfully). If you used one in a completely empty room with no carpet, it might work better. I used one in my fully furnished bedroom and got that chemical smell. I thought 30 minutes was a very short time, but apparently not. I should have used 7 minutes to start. In the end it was more trouble than it was worth. Be very careful with these machines. When trying to solve a problem, be careful you don't make a bigger problem in its place. I won't be using it again. It did help with the mold, but only like 1%. 99% of my mold problem was solved by simply removing the moldy materials from my house. If you're extremely sensitive to mold an ozone machine may or may not help. I can't say. But for me personally I would only recommend an ozone machine for a very terrible smell that won't stop lingering, like years of cigarette smoke, or a dead body. For everyday issues, don't bother. And if you do use one, start with a very short time, like 5 to 10 minutes. You do not want that chemical soup smell. Trust me.
