Get rid of the bad odor or smell.
I had posted a question on these forums a while ago asking the best method for removing the old stale smell from an RV after storage. I live in Florida and my RV probably hits about 7000 degrees insid...

Yes,
Ozone can be corrosive if materials are left exposed to it for an extended time. This is why I put in my original message "Following the instructions, 15 minutes of use killed every bad smell in the coach". It also has warning in the instructions, specifically mentioning NOT to use it for more than a few hours at a time or damage can occur, specifically to metal parts. I had no experience with Ozone generators previous to this, and when I first cranked it up, it started producing large amounts of ozone that you could smell. I immediately thought to myself, "I know this smell". It smells like corroded metal. Most often I encountered this on my aluminum pontoon boat.
The instructions say it is perfectly safe to use every night for 15 minutes (all though it's really only needed when you notice odors come back). Ozone is created by oxygen. It breaks the molecular bond, so the more air flow, the better results. Ozone also returns to oxygen very quickly (the warmer, the quicker). So basically, it would take about 15 hours of constant saturation to start doing damage. When you run it for 15 minutes, the Ozone has returned to oxygen within 10 minutes of turning the unit off. According to the research I have read, you could legitimately run it for 2 hours, every night of the year and cause no damage (to non living things).
I'm no expert. I just did a little research before buying it. I don't like masking odors with candles and sprays, so I figured I would try this.
I just wanted to give my opinion in case others may want to try it. As with anything, do your own research before proceeding.
