I never had any damage but I did quit using it because it made all my stuff smell like stale ozone.

 

Ozone degrades rubber and certain plastics. Also not good for your health.

 

I use a very small one the size of a computer mouse in a closet for my hunting clothes. No more than an hour the night before a hunt. I have read some people use it for 12-24 hrs which is way too long in a closet and excessive use may degrade rubber and plastic. The big ones for odors in a room are 3-8 hours run time and bigger ones for a house 24-30 hours. It is not recommended to be in the room or house while these bigger ones are on. Closet use for short period.
Ozone gas stays in its triple atomic nature within 30 minutes, after which it reverts to oxygen. They recommend waiting 4 hours after doing a room or house to re-enter.
Did some research during covid for work covid minimization so I learned a lot.

 

I had to Google what a ozone machine is.

And that's all I have to say about that.

 

It's a machine that Biden and Obama invented to patch the hole in the ozone layer. That's what that Chinee balloon was doing last year.

I've used them a lot. On smelly apartments

 

Another gimmick hunters spent millions on.

 

Rock on brother I got a deer wash getting ready to hit production hope it catches on $$$

 

Ozone and activated carbon are absolutely not gimmicks. They both work to remove odors exactly as advertised, with decades worth of scientific testing to back them up. Odors cannot escape ozone. The 3rd oxygen molecule is highly unstable and looking to offload an oxygen to whatever will accept it.....oxidizing that host molecule and completely changing it's makeup.
Work boots and athletic equipment, dog bed and whatever else in my house get an ozone wash when they are rank. They come out smelling fresh off the clothes line clean. I have never seen degradation of material because of ozone use.
Ozonated water is being used now in the food industry to sanitize raw food.....e. coli, salmonella, molds, etc. It works better than chlorine and is 3000x as reactive with no by product other than oxygen.

 

You keep ozoning. I will play the wind.

 

Do you wash your clothes? If you do, why do you do it?
Ozone deodorizes organic odors more effectively than any other technology. That's a fact.

 

Years ago, I always hung my waders in the cellar beside the water pump and by the next year they were weather cracked. My uncle bought the same type of waders and his were fine. He had just folded them and put them in an upstairs closet. I told him what happen to mine and blamed it on the rubber. He said the water pump motor put out ozone and deteriorated the rubber to keep them away from any electric motors. Haven't had ant problems since, now if I could stay away from briars and barbwire fences.

 

Ozone also bad for asthma. Triggers attacks. Plenty of medical info/articles about it.

 

Ozone does absolutely kill odors. With that said, whether removing odors from your hunting set up is important to you or not is ultimately up to each person.

I believe deer analyze all threats they perceive. A super strong whiff of a human tells them danger is close and they are out of there. A less intense whiff tells them danger is near and they will try to figure out whats up. A tiny whiff tells them that danger is around somewhere, but the threat may not be immediate . Those decisions that a deer makes could be the difference between a kill or no kill.

No whiff is the best option by staying downwind, but wind is rarely a constant.

 

You should not use ozone with your CPAP machine either. It will void your warrant!

 

Outer garb is never washed. Inner layers are washed.

 

So you wash it to remove the smell I assume? Ozone will do exactly that on every piece of clothing and equipment you have. Boots, insoles, wool garments, hats, and anything else that can be a chore to deodorize.
I never wash my outer layers until blood soaked or heavily cached in mud, mid insulating layer very very rarely, and underlayers as normal. I read about some guys that wash jackets after each time in the field. Craziness!

 

Whew, worked with an old timer back in the 80’s from Bridesburg section of Philly. His work clothes were blue dickie pants and t shirts. Wore 2 tshirts , next day the one against his skin was hung outside to “sun wash”. Outer shirt next day was against skin with a sun washed shirt as outer layer, repeat process daily. Pants were worn in for a week and sun washed while a “ fresh “ pair was worn. During the summer nobody wanted to work with him as he stunk so bad and union had to get involved. He fought any help and was disciplined more than a few times. Doing maintenance work really tore up your clothes so he was getting new ones 2x a year so that helped …. a little.
No wonder you got to play the wind.

My outer wear smells like the woods or camp smoke. Play the wind and you may kill more game that uses there nose for defense.

 

I would not use the machine running in a in a blind or running directly near you when hunting. I no guides who use ozonics, no thanks. It is known to be bad for your health and degrade certain types of materials. In a small contained area like a rubbermaid container or closet it should work well. Too each his own no deer is worth my health.
