Ozone Generators California

Forever Ozone only sells commercial ozone generators which are used by remediation contractors (and DIY homeowners) to remediate smoke damage, water damage, mold damage, crime scense cleanup, and for green pest control. Our units feature instructions on how to comply with California law, mainly, by posting a “Warning: Ozone Shock Treatment in Progress” on the front door to alert any Real Estate agents, family, friends, even burglars (yes we live in a litigious country) not to enter the premises.

Ozone isn’t for breathing, it’s a sanitizer. Like anything, there is a right and wrong way to use ozone. Used correctly, ozone is a God-send! It’s the only thing that gets rid of the stench of rotting flesh from a rodent in a crawl space or whatever. We give professional advice on how to flush the air out after the ozone shock treatment (creates tiny particulate) and bring in fresh air by putting a fan in the window blowing out, opening all of the windows, and creating negative pressure to bring in new, fresh air.

Here is the California law in question in regards to ozone air purifiers:

Ozone is not for breathing! Breathing high concentrations of ozone can harm your lungs (see EPA warning on ozone air purifiers) We do not sell ozone air purifiers. We only sell commercial ozone generators for use by Contractors (or homeowners acting as contractors) to ‘shock’ the air in unoccupied areas ONLY! Please use as directed for air shock treatments, and only if you feel you can competently follow instructions.
