There are countless applications for a powerful oxidant such as ozone, including Deodorization, Allergen Elimination, and Fire & Flood Remediation. The length of treatment required will depend on each circumstance:
What Ozone Does - High Output Ozone Generators, when used in "shock treatment" application methods, are effective in addressing the following:
• Sanitization: As a gas, ozone is a broad based sanitizer capable of eliminating biological pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thus maintaining microbiological control.
• Deodorization: Because it is a strong oxidant, ozone will attack unpleasant odors (e.g. from smoke, cooking, mildew, pets, and etc.) at their source, cleaving the long chain molecules responsible and permanently eliminating the smell.
• Allergen Elimination: Dust mites, pollen, and other allergens cannot survive an indoor ozone shock treatment, bringing immediate relief to allergy sufferers.
• Natural Disasters: Ozone has been used to remediate indoor environments impacted by floods, tornados, wild fires, and earthquakes.
• Chemical Pollutants: VOCs such as benzene, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, and others will be oxidized and destroyed by ozone, one of nature's most powerful oxidizing agents.
• Commercial Agriculture: There are many applications for ozone in agriculture, especially related to odor control and broad based disinfection for disease control.
• Mold Remediation: Ozone is lethal to molds, including toxigenic, black mold, etc.
What Ozone Does Not Do - The application of ozone to purify the indoor environment is an effective broad based sanitization strategy, however, it does not:
• Remove Dead Mold: Ozone shock treatments will kill any mold; however, the dead mold still must be physically removed, since even dead mold can be allergenic. Additionally, the moisture source in the building must be eliminated to prevent reoccurrence.
• Create a Pest Control Barrier: Ozone shock treatments will drive may insects / pests out of a building; however, there is no residual effect to prevent reoccurrence.
• Remove Carpet Stains: Ozone shock treatments will eliminate the chemical and biological pollutants in carpets; however, it will not eliminate a stain.
• Replace Dry Cleaning: Ozone shock treatments will sanitize clothing, bedding, and window coverings; however, professional dry cleaning may be required to remove visible residue.
• Mitigate Radon Issues: Ozone shock treatments will oxidize radon gas; however, because the gas continually forms in the soil underneath the property, actual mitigation strategies are required.
A friend of mine had squatters in his home. He told me by running the Ozone machine in the HVAC ducts successfully removed the squatters as well!

Hi! I'm a sculptor and I work with epoxy resins, polyurethane foams, solvents like naphtha, spraypaints and aerosols, etc. My current workspace doesn't have any windows and there's no way of effectively ventilating it, since it lies deep in a big warehouse and is very far away from the outside. I have recently moved in and haven't started working with chemicals yet. Can an ozone cannon effectively clean up these VOCS if I use them regularly? My plan is to build a room inside of the space of about 65 square feet to work with these materials so that the gasses don't dissipate throughout the entire space. Thank you!!
Read the fine print
Good Luck.
You need to be careful using the ozone machine as well.
I heard it does not remove docs. It can cause a chemical reaction that you will be stuck with. Ozone kills living organisms
People need to know that you cannot be in the room when running the machine. It is very toxic because it adds an extra molecule of oxygen to the area. Thats what kills the odor. Also. You need to thoroughly air out the room afterwards. Do not atay in that room . Keep it isolated for a few hours while it airs out. They do work though. I got mine from amazon. They have a timer on it that you can set. Hope this precaution helps ya out !
Darlene, Yes, ozone is scientifically proven to eliminate viruses from surfaces. Shock treatment methods are used to disinfect an area being treated, eliminating all biological and chemical pollutants in the process.
this is useful to know what ozone gas can do. there are applications for ozonated water that water can help with which gas cannot. removing organic stains is one of the features. can you do a video about that?
I noticed you name and wondered if you may have answers to a few ozone questions related to water for skin??
you're a mountain of wisdom, my friend.
I've been trying to find answers to these questions forever, would you happen to know : can an ozonated water spray be used to remove localized smells and if it can also effectively disinfect/sterilize surfaces from mold and bacteria? and if so, what concentration/ratio would it need to be?
Does it kill bugs? I have conflicting information on this.
Not in normal doses no.
Yes it does. Found dead flies on the main floor, two spiders, a centipede and another somewhat large furry bug that I did not recognize. I set the ozone generator on Hold, put it on a timer for two hours a day for four days while we were away on holidays. House is 4 bedrooms/2400 sq. ft. not counting the basement. We bought it to remove mold odor in the partially finished basement. Did an amazing job on the odor.....has not come back in well over a year.
It van depending on the strength and how much space you are trying to use it on. You also want to look into oxygen concentrates because using the ozone in ambient air or the oxygen that is standing in the room is much less effective since their is only around 21% oxygen in ambient air. Using the oxygen concentrator will increase and allow the ozone generator to be much more effective. If you want to get particles and fibers out of the air, an ozone generAtor (most of them, anyhow) can’t do this, so run a 20x20 square fan with a 10x10 Merve 14 or higher (I recommend Merve 15 or higher) and attach it to the back or front of the fan (or both, you can even stack them between fans) and that will take care of that for you. You can also put that fan in front of the generator since most ozone generators need a fan. Some of them have a cooling system.
Can it remove smoke damage from a building fire on chairs desks frames art work desks ect. Office equment. computers printers?
What about brown recluse spiders? They re in the insulation in my attic.
Hello,
i have a question not specifically concerning your ozone generators but a more general question. Hope, i'll nevertheless get an answer :-)
My question is about smell removal from old books.
Will ozone penetrate shut books? Especially thick books? So the smell will not only be removed from the cover and maybe first few pages at the beginning and end of the book but also from the pages in the middle?
I guess it will work better if the books are fanned out so that the ozone has better direct contact to each single page.
But it is very difficult or impossible to keep most books nicely fanned out.
thanks in advance
may iask hello and thanks for asking a great question. I don’t have personal experience with this particular issue, but know that Ozone is just like air, so if air can get to those pages, then the ozone will as well. My best estimate would be that you would have success with books closed, but it would be improved if the books were able to be opened. Best of luck. By the way, we offer an assortment of high output generators that would work very well for this application.
This is nothing but an advertisement.
@@janosk8392 Have you ever used an ozone generator?
As anyone can guess yeah it would take the ozone molecules quite a while to permeate a thick, fully closed book, just as much as air would.
Say you take a book from a smoking household. Naturally the fringes of the pages will have the strong odor, while the middle of the pages might be about "normal".
Nothing about how ozone works is either rocket science or snake oil. It works in the way that it works and it is proven to work.
I happen to have a smelly folder with about 100 pages, left in a place with three unneutered cats and infested by vermin. I'll put that fanned out in the kitchen, let the ozone generator go for a few full hours and if you answer back I'll let you know how it went.
@@Sanusaerwhat is the differene between your units and say.....MaxBlaster? Thanks!
Lets aim it at the sky and fix the ozone layer. LOL
I used an ozone generator to get the toxic smell out of the convertible top, of our car. The people we bought it from didn't smoke, but I think the people they bought it from did. I know I woyld get a headache after driving the convertible. It always smelled toxic to me. We visited Las Vegas and that's when I found that toxic smell in the convertible, was the same toxic smell in the casinos. It was definitely cigarette smoke. So, when we got home, I put the ozone generator in the car over night. I think the timer only went to an hour and a half. I coukd still smell the cigarette smoke. So I ran it again, at the maximum timer length. This time, the smell was gone. Now I can drive the convertible, without getting a headache. I like the smell of ozone, but I know, I'm not supposed to be breathing it.
I have a question about ozone. How damaging is ozone to electronics?
Very corrosive
@@parrisestatessouthernhomec3246acids are corrosive..
So it cannot remove the mold stains. my question is whill it kill the mold roots so that it will not grow back?
It will not physically remove the mold, but it will kill it completely. You still need to eliminate the moisture source so this it will not grow back.
I used one in a room where a septic tank vent had been pumping into “with out our knowledge “ “foreclosure and never thought the 3 inch pipe would have been disconnected but the machine looked like it was a fog machine but I believe it was from fighting the germs because I have used the machine multiple times since then and have not seen the smoke again at all
Does it kill like UV light, and what is the difference?
And what square footage does it work in?
carl browning our ozone generation technology is corona discharge which is considered as best method for creating high levels of ozone. We have generators in various sizes designed to treat small areas all the way up to 4,000 to 5,000 square feet.
@@Sanusaer Great detailed answer, why do modern people only ever answer one question when there are more, and it is usually the answer which leads a person to buy something.
uv _c light will generate uvc plus ozone(o3).but uvc light will destroy viruses by destroying dna of virus .it will destroy your skin cell and eye. when in use do not go in that room
only ozone(o3) can be generated by electric discharge or lightening without uvc present but i don't believe ozone kill viruses .eg covid
Contrary to the seller's statement, it's my understanding that the corona discharge type of ozone generator (which is the cheaper type) is NOT the good one. It generates ozone with an electrical arc, which also produces nitric acid in the process. This can corrode metals in the treatment area. The generator type that uses UV light to create ozone does not produce this nitric acid.
Theres a bit of fearmongering going on here. There are regulations about VOCs in new buildings, and there are very strict controls and limits placed on which VOCs are permissable and in what quantities. Don't worry about 'new home smell', it wont give you cancer. People like me work diligently to make sure you are safe.
😂 that doesn't mean jack shit. People dodge regulations all the time, besides, let's say a company has to high of vocs, how do you think they get them down to safe levels? Oh yeah... ozone machines. It's not fear mongering. It's sales.
@@codygeery9348 The low VOCs are built into the specification for the building before it is built or refitted. All the products used on the project are subject to approval by the architect or designer before the purchase orders are approved. All of this information is sent to the customer upon completion of the project, because they need it for the product warranties to be valid.
Maybe small private landlords etc dodge the regulations sometimes, but it doesn't happen on professional construction projects. I don't even know why someone would bother dodging them anyway, since the low VOC adhesives etc are easier to handle, and often less expensive.
It's marketing, but not like you think. Low VOC is a selling point, so all the manufacturers make sure theirs are as low as possible.
I'm sorry, but I do this for a living, and the scenario you describe simply doesn't happen. Again, maybe small private landlords are an exception, but that's it. Not in developed countries anyway.
I have a 10gram unit I bought just befor this virus scare and I would like to know could I help my community by sterilizing ambulances. If so how long would I need to turn it on and will it air out fast for workers?
You could treat an ambulance in roughly 30 to 60 minutes. After treatment, open doors to let it air out more quickly. Won’t take that long. It will smell different after treatment...don’t be alarmed. It’s safe...ozone only has roughly a 20 minute half life in normal conditions.
Can you please tell me if this will help with a cat urine odor? Friend has house that she rented out (no pets allowed) renter brought in cat (s) and they sprayed/peed in the house. Carpet has been removed. Please help!!
Yes absolutely.
HELP! I'm confused by all the price differences. My land lord won't take care of the mold problem so I am Looking to move. Meanwhile I have no idea which ozone generator to get!
Carolyn Glass what size of a living space is it? This will dictate the size of the unit needed. Feel free to call me to discuss at 740-387-7873. Leave a message if not answered.
hi do you still sell these machines
Yes, please visit our shop page on our website: www.SanusAer.com
We look forward to answering any questions you may have!
SanusAer
Thank you.
Can an ozone generator remove things like air fresheners, perfumes and a bad detailer fragranced carpet shampoo? I hate fragrance! I love normal.
Yes indeed. It will attack those odors at their source and will eliminate them.
@@Sanusaer do you guys have a ozone generator to rent or to buy that would do this?
I have the same question 🙋♀️
is this what known as ozone scrubbing/cleaning?
Will they work outdoors
how long do the plates last?
1500-3000 treatment hours.
Will ozone hurt pipes and electrical outlets?
If it's the corona discharge type that this man is selling, most likely. I've been told the UV light-type generator is safe for metals and electronics.
Can ozone generators break down pesticide or herbicide fumes in the home from old (but capped) pesticide/herbicide concentrate bottles? There is a residual smell in the air in my basement.
Yes...ozone will oxidize the VOCs left behind by the pesticide/herbicide. Ozone will eliminate/neutralize all biological and chemical pollutants permanently as long as the pollutants are not reintroduced.
How can ozone be used to prevent and or mitigate covid-19
Truck Taxi ozone is a very strong oxidant and will destroy the virus when exposed with the use of our SanusAer High Output Ozone generators. Can you describe the situation you desire to mitigate.
Hep c patients drink ozonated water to keep the virus at bay. l-carnasine has been shown to stop the immune system from over reacting and can halt pneumonia.
Can Ozone kill Covid 19
Can ozone ignite if is to concentrate in a room ?
No, ozone is not flamable.
I think I will create a playlist and share this to my channel. Ozone is interesting.
Great....thanks. We take great pride in educating folks about the amazing deodorizing and sanitizing powers of ozone. There are so many applications it’s amazing. For more detailed information on the many applications check out the following link: Sanusaer.com/applications/

thanks for this!
Your list of applications is nothing more than locations it could be used.
I hate when people use “chemical” is a negative manner
I know. Your body produces thousands of "chemicals" every day. It's a neutral term that needs context to make it good or bad.
Tregeta in fact you could say a cell is a complex chemical reaction, and thus your whole body is a super complex chemical reaction (which is usually referred to as life).
It’s because if people seen all chemicals positively, they may not be as cautious around the dangerous chemicals which may lead to a lot more chemical related injuries
Your hate is a chemical reaction in your brain.
Check mate
I disagree..."chemical" is used in both positive and negative ways in the proper context. When people talk about chemicals in the environment, they are using it according to the current definition which is "a compound or substance that has been purified or prepared, especially artificially."
What's artificial is simply what's not naturally occurring. There is no negative or positive connotation yet. As the youtube user %% said, it's important to point out "chemicals" and the implication is negative because if it does affect you...you won't be aware of it.
So it can't kill the roaches and rats present in the concerned concealed area?.
Hi, how does ozone affect food please ? I make cheese and occasionally get a mold growth on them so would ozone just kill the mold or make the cheese unsafe to eat ?? Thank you.
Peter - Ozone is generally safe around food. With your cheese, ozone will kill the mold but will not remove it. At high level concentrations, Ozone may also potentially alter the cheese flavor. Therefore, I would suggest you need to use low level continuous output. Our generators are not set up for this application.
@@Sanusaer Thank you for your reply. I see so many people asking the question of how to kill mold on cheese, if this can kill it, i am sure whats left can be brushed off or rinsed with white vinegar. This treatment of home made cheese would be an absolute game changer !!! I would be using a home generator of 10000, would that be ok, again, many many thanks for this :-)
Peter Hardy you could try our SA-10000 and verify that it doesn’t change the flavor. Keep to minimal exposure of perhaps 30 to 60 minutes.
@@peterhardy7124 How is your home made cheese going? I was thinking you would actually want mold in cheese and control what kind of molds go in there, like we have done for a few thousands of years as humanity. Seriously curious about what you're doing there
My Mrs. is quite flatulent. She loves microwave burritos. Eats them daily and washes them down with Colt 44 malt liquor. I keep one of these by her and running most of the time. It saved our marriage.
What’s a raid on issue? Just bought one as I noticed a smell coming from the hot press, I checked seen nothing so I’m thinking a 🐭/rat has died under floor board, mine arrived today will it eliminate a smell even if you can’t find or see the culprit 🙏please say yes 🥲
what ever we do, we're crew
2 yrs later
In doubt
Cool video, I may share this.
We had dead possum in attic it got rid of the smell we never found it but we knew it’s possum from security camera
Will it kill mites, like demodex and crawling dandruff?
Rauckz McCarron we have seen excellent results with dust mites. As a result, it will likely kill demodex and crawling dandruff.
@@Sanusaer do i use to clean a car of mites and for how many days. Wrong hotel, major problem.
Rauckz McCarron I would try 30 to 60 minutes in car.
@@Sanusaer i ve done it for two hours everyday
Rauckz McCarron for how many days? What are you trying to accomplish?
Oh shoot, ozone won't get rid of radio-active waste? What can I use then? ☢️
nothing.just have to wait for to decay,this takes years about 1000 years may be
Thanks for the 2 1/2 minute intro......Get to the point,!
Can ozone clean a shirt body odor?
xorbodude yes...Ozone would get rid of body odor in a shirt. However, best solution is to wash it if you can. Side note, Ozone is used to deodorize and disinfect sports equipment such as football and hockey equipment.
@@Sanusaer thanks. Some shirts the door returns even after washing.
xorbodude then ozone should be effective in eliminating the odor.
@@xorbodudefill up your bathtub of water and pour lots of baking soda in bath tub. That will get rid of any odor on clothing.
@@_mr_cat used a vinegar soak. Worked.
does it kill bug?
Does it breath air? It kills lubgs and plants. Some bugs probably
Yes
What about cheap cologne?
Yep....it will zap that nasty smell as well!
Etcetera not Excetera!
Can the machine kill ants in my car ?
Simple quiestion , can kill bacteria and virus? Because they are moustli living things. By the way thanks for the info is excelent
Waiting...........
Nice .....
it's ozone or nozone, baby.
"Ozone shock treatments will oxidize radon gas"
Sorry to say, but thats nonsense!
Radon is a noble gas and thus wont oxidize or react at all with anything! :P
I think he said "it will not oxidize Radon"
Imagine trying to seem smart by correcting something that wasn't even said 😂 A little too eager there, methinks.
I’ve been breathing ozone instead of my regular cancer treatments.
this man is a genius
Bro, it's etcetera, "eTcetera". Not "eckcetera".
and the rest
level of ozone good for health
harish kumar Ozone is bad for your lungs at pretty much every level above normal
Youe phonw number is a scam
Cant trust someone who points at their nose to indicate smelling. Wtf is wrong with you. +1'd for the description info.
Will these ozone generators kill black mould? And remove it from the air?
SaucyBegger25 yes it will kill black mold from surfaces and it the air. Of course, you need to make sure to eliminate the moisture source that may be causing the growth of the mold as well or it will return.
sanusaer thank you. Really appreciate the reply! We are getting quite ill and have been told to change rooms and see how we are in a week or so. I wouldn’t mind getting one of these and doing the hole house 1 room at a time. No idea where moisture is coming from. It’s a rented place. We got a dehumidifier but I guess the problem is worse than we thought
Hi Saucy, did you ever move out of there and recover?
@@trumpatierhi, we have since moved house yes. We got on well with the neighbours and still talk and they tell us the people living there bought the place and have spent thousands trying to sort the damp problem. I’m glad to say we have a house of our own now and it’s not had any damp 👍🏻. The dehumidifier we was using in the old house was filling up constantly so there was definitely an issue somewhere
@@SaucyBegger25 wow, that's good to hear! Have all your symptoms disappeared and you've all made a full recovery?
