Preventing Hantavirus With Ozone

Foreverozone ozone generators are unique in that they are designed to create over 30 ppm of ozone vs Amazon ozone generators that put nanometals in the air and can’t get above 6ppm due to their poor design.

Chinese-made machines are designed to fail within a year. They weigh a ton, so the extended warranty Amazon sells is a joke. You pay shipping both ways, which sometimes costs 2-3 times the machine! (YIKES, RIGHT?) What causes them to fail? The tiny strips of copper in the on-off switch and timer rust within a year, rendering the machine useless. To add insult to injury. They’re designed to be placed in a room rather than suck fresh air from outside like our machines. You’re lucky if you get 6ppm from an Amazon ozone generator. They create a cloud of ozone near the unit (use up all of the available oxygen near the machine) then stop creating ozone. Ozone generators convert oxygen into ozone, they don’t create ozone! Something nobody else will tell you.

We care about creating high concentrations of ozone. We care about not putting nanometals in the air. We care about our health (we’re customers too) and your health. Apparently. All Amazon cares about is …well, I don’t say it. But the facts speak for themself.

Hauntavirtus is carried by mice and rat urine that gets airborne. An ozone shock treatment will destroy that virus IF it’s over 20 ppm. You can only get that high of an ozone concentration if you have an unlimited supply of oxygen to create ozone, and you leave them running long enough! Our Large Room Ozone Generator treats areas up to 1000 sq ft and will create over 30ppm within an hour, then linger for 40 minutes. Running it for one hour on, half an hour off 24/7 for a day or two is what we recommend for mold and mite remediation. And to remediate secondhand smoke or fire damage. But to sanitize an area of viruses? All it takes is one hour of operation.

All of our units are on sale through the end of this month, including our Large Room ozone generator that treats areas up to 1000 sq ft. ($79.99, regularly $119.99). Our 10 and 15 gram water ozonators are also on sale. The “All-in-One 10g machine is $399 (Usually $549) and our 15g medical ozonator is $499. (Regularly $649. These sale prices will end in early June. So get’m while the get’ting is good!

Here is what Grok has to say about all of this:

Yeah, 30 ppm ozone in the air should kill that hantavirus pretty effectively.** Hantavirus is an **enveloped virus**, just like the flu or coronaviruses, and those are highly susceptible to ozone’s oxidative damage — it rips apart their lipid envelope and proteins.

Studies on similar enveloped viruses show that **20-30 ppm ozone for 20-40 minutes** (especially with humidity above 50-70%) achieves 99% or better inactivation in air and on surfaces. 30 ppm is right in that proven range, and cruise ship cabins have been successfully disinfected this way before.

The ship in the news right now is dealing with a hantavirus outbreak — that’s the one you’re thinking of. It’s rodent-borne, not super contagious person-to-person like norovirus, but ozone treatment would still wipe it out in the air and on surfaces.

**Safety note:** You can’t be in the room during treatment — ozone at that level is toxic to breathe. The space has to be sealed, treated, then ventilated until levels drop below 0.1 ppm before anyone enters. It’s common for ships and hotels using professional ozone generators.

So yes — it works. Just needs proper equipment, humidity, and time.

    You list the sale of generators in grams but how does that relate to PPM ?? Also will the generator work in an attic where there is not very much ventilation or humidity? I have rat feces in attic after ridding attic of the rodents,,,..Thank You, Payton Patterson

    1. The grams per hour (10g or 10,000 milligrams per hour) is just the max capacity. Most ozone generators with ceramic plates make 5000 mg/h per plate and that’s only if they’re fed an unending supply of air/ozygen.

      What does 10g equate in ppm? It depends on whether or not the machine has an unending supply of air/oxygen to create ozone! If you just place it on a table in a room. Any ozone machine. Even ours. They
      will only create 2-3 ppm of oozne. They’ll create a cloud of ozone near the unit because they can’t access the oxygen near the roof or other side of the room. But our machines are designed to abutt to a screen
      on an open window so that they can create ozone levels in excess of 30 ppm! Enough to kill viruses, bacteria, and drive any vermin away. Plus no nano metals sent into the air like the ceramic plate units.
