I have to remind it again: please never run it when people, pets or plants are going to be present. It would be best to experiment with the lowest level of ozone output at first to see if it is irritating.
Many customers reported that the ozone generator is good for keeping the mustiness away in the basement.
Here are the points to note when using ozone machine in basement:
1. Turn on the air conditioning during the treatment if you use it in the basement. It could sterilize the air-conditioning system as well.
2. You only need the ozone in the basement won't vent out and expose to your family. Also, have to thoroughly air out all remaining ozone before you return to the basement. If you believe they are not able to make it air out thoroughly, please allow a longer time to consume the residual ozone before returning to the room. Normally, the ozone will need 4 hours to react and disappear completely, but depending on the ventilation.
3. If you can't smell the ozone when you are upstairs, you don't need to block heat or cold air duct return registers. Ozone can sterilize it as well.
