Smelling ozone?

  • I can smell ozone almost as soon as I turn on the ozone generator. I have it set to only run an hour per night while I am sleeping, but testing during the day has me a little worried. I am under the impression that the carbon is supposed to prevent me from smelling ozone at all. I am concerned for the safety of my pets that may be in this part of the house while it is running.

  • Hey Oslympe,

    First off, it's awesome you're taking proactive steps to ensure the safety of your pets. Kudos for being a caring pet parent! Now, down to business. Smelling ozone is definitely something you shouldn't ignore. Ozone should basically be like your favorite pair of socks, effective but unnoticed. If you're catching whiffs of it, then something's likely off.

    You're absolutely right about the carbon filter—it's supposed to keep that ozone smell locked down. If it's not doing its job, it might be time to check its status. Could be clogged, or maybe it's given up on life altogether. Filters do have a lifespan that varies based on usage and conditions, so make sure it's not past its prime.

    Also, let’s chat about the setup. Make sure the generator is properly ventilated. If it's in a small, enclosed space, that could be why you're picking up the scent. And maybe keep an eye on the ozone levels with a monitor just to be on the safe side.

    Remember, too much ozone isn’t just risky for your pets; it’s not a great roommate for you either. Stay safe out there! 🌊🐚
