Lets talk Ozone Air Purifiers

02-21-2011, 01:22 PM

When I'm done smoking, i set the exhaust to run for 60 mins, then let the Csonka run overnight. Been doing this for over a year and so far it's good enough for her. In the a.m. I usually run the exhaust for 10 mins and turn off the Csonka to clear it out.

Youll be fine in a whole basement. You're right Dom I should have been more clear. What I meant was in a small room say 12x12 or under the smell can be quite potent. My experiences with these units only bothered me in small rooms specifically hotel rooms. Also it takes quite a while for the ozone smell to be in all parts of the room. A large room might take longer than you're smoking time in the room so you might not be bothered by it.

Good information here, I was going to chalk up my loss for the man-cave in the garage but it looks like between some fans and an Ozone generator it may be possible. A good resource I have found is craigslist, lots of units up for sale in my area, maybe yours as well.

Here's lots of info: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html

I think the bottom line is that ozone is an effective deodorizer. But, the concentrations needed for real deodorization can have health consequences. So, its best to run it when you're not there.
