Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 You need a device powerful enough and designed for a room. A water ozonater won't do it. http://www.aranizer.com/index.asp The SS-Series AranizersTM are ideally suited to use in small to large size rooms with mild to strong pollution problems. Perfect for Attics, Basements, Bars, Beauty Salons, Bingo Halls, Garages, Pet Stores, Offices, Restaurants, Storage Rooms, Waiting Rooms etc. Chuck The border between the Real and the Unreal is not fixed, but just marks the last place where rival gangs of shamans fought each other to a standstill On 12/21/2007 4:47:05 AM, Ostoich (jostoich@...) wrote: > >Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:18 pm (PST) >If you can buy an inexpensive oxonator (or borrow one), run it on >high next to the area until it's gone.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 , Depending on the strength of the ozonator it would probably take longer than 30 minutes. However, you could aim it directly at the mold/mildew. Depending on how bad the mold/mildew is and the strength of the machine would depend on the time it takes. We bought a unit for my MIL because her whole house had mold, I'd get sick everytime we visited. I'm allergic to it. She had bad sinus problems/depression and didn't know why. She started feeling better the day we set it up at her house. It normally should go high in a room close to the intake of the central air/heat unit to circulate throughout the house. However, if there's a room with mold/mildew definitely that's the place to start. When we set it up at her house, we set it up in the worst of the moldy rooms. We run ozonators in our home to kill germs (virus/bacteria), as a family member that has pages of diagnoses was (still is considered - but nothing like he was) medically fragile. We use to have 3 but they were over 10 to 12 years old and DH got tired of repairing them, so he just bought 2 new ones. One is upstairs, and the other downstairs. I'd like to get another one for the library (as it was a garage that the previous owners made into an office), and the air circulation is not good in their. We've done the ductwork many times over the years, and no we never had to leave the house. With the fan running the ozonation (no matter how strong) is going into the ducts. It usually took 2 to 3 days the first time we ran it in a new house (our old one, and this one). However, after it's been done once, consecutive treatments are not but a day or two. The reason why I said to put a blanket at the bottom of the door, as if you leave it running on high for a couple of days, it will be too strong for everyone in the house to breath unless it's going through the ductwork. You will have to test it, to see the strength. We left one running in a new car several years ago. We had no idea why (it was before I found out I was allergic to formaldihyde - sp? and they use it even in clothes now to perserve the dyes), but I would get terrible sick in the car, and could not go more than a few minutes or I'd be out of it. We ran the ozonator in the car several hours, until the smell was gone. We repeated it again a few weeks later, as even though the smell didn't return, I started feeling a tad bit sick in the car again. In the car, we ran the cord through the window, and had the window up as far as we could without damaging the cord. All of the other windows were closed. Hope this helps ya.
