Default Another useless fact!

Ozone generators and tires DO NOT get along well. Every single tire in my shop has been ruined within a few months of introducing the O3 generator, with the exception of the old slimey maxx tires.

Ozone generator? Is that some kind of air purifier?

yeah, it takes a house voltage and steps it up to around 50K volts, then passes it over a silver-ceramic-silver capacitor. Air blows over the cap and binds all oxygen in the 03 form, making it a free radical ready to attack anything it touches. When two ozone particals hit an object (like dust or smells) the energy stored in 03 destroys the object and helps convert the 0xygen into three o2 molocules. It will kill you if you turn it up too much in a confined space. Mine will purify 5K square feet pretty quick. At work we have one that will envade 50k square feet at full blast. That one is used to get pet and smoke smells out of the <2000 sq feet duplexes we have during turnover.

It's used to kill the skunky smell of those funny little weeds he grows.

I should make sure that my condems arent sitting on top.

My basement has a moisture problem since it is a big concrete box in the ground (mid-missouri walk out ranch style). A dehumidifier and ozonator really help the mold and mildew problem. I have rooms where the walls will have condensation in the summer.

I do, but I will probably just move the machine or the tires to a different room.
