Can I use this to run in a home made make-shift DIY sauna? (the one with head sticking out so as not to inhale ozone?)

I use mine with the style of sauna you described, mine is a Far Infrared sauna. I just put the ozone hose in one of the zippered hand slots of the sauna and zip it to where it holds the hose from falling out. I do put a wet towel around the neck area to help contain the ozone so I don't breath in too much. Works great.

Not sure about how much energy it uses but worth it since we only run the ozone for two hours at a time. We are not in the room when we run the ozone part as it's not good to breeze. There is a button that says 'away' which gives you a few minutes to leave the room. Shut the door tight and if you have small children, put a towel at the bottom of the door. Normally we run it for 2 hours and leave the house to shop or hang out in the studio.

I would not recommend it. Ozone is a strong oxidizer; good for removing odors, but not so good for the body. I run it for a few hours overnight. When my wife retires and we get a dog, I will stop using them.http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html

I wouldn't do it. Mine sits on the counter and I have to pull out from the cabinet because of the heat and the pressure valve. They recommend you allow for proper ventilation. Hope this helps.

when you buy an ozone gererator you must specify which voltage it is used on. mine is 110 volts. donot use them where you have your tv and computers.i use mine in the bath room.

IMO, circulation of air would be a challenge in the crawlspace. The unit will cycle on and off relatively quickly (every couple minutes) if you don't have sufficient circulation.

It shouldn't be used in an occupied room only when you turn on the Ozone Generator, since ozone is a dangerous gas for your lungs. It can be turned on/off with the left knob; while the right knob controls the air purifier function. The air purifier is safe for breathing. The ozone function might be used to leave the device in an unoccupied room and return after an hour or so and turn it off. It's necessary only to kill a very bad odor.

No, it doesn't produce enough steam for a sauna unless you bought multiple units. I use a single unit for a 8 foot section of 4" PVC pipe and it works fine for that application, but a sauna room? I don't think so.

Do not use this indoors. The heat element and pad emit fumes to detract mosquitoes. This can't be a good thing for humans to be breathing in an enclosed space.

Yes. The company calls it "activated oxygen," but that's just another term for ozone (aka O3 or trioxygen). Ozone generators are also used in hot tubs and swimming pools as a way to keep the water clean while reducing the amount of chlorine or bromine needed for sanitation.

Yes. The unit is surprisingly powerful. I would put it in front of the cold air return and turn the fan on. You DO NOT want to be in the home when this is turned on. It could kill you, it produces so much ozone. We turn it on and get out. Highly effective. Come back later and immediately open the windows to get fresh air in. Good luck!

Good to rinse the ozone plate with water every so often, And let dry completely or use hair dryer to remove ALL water before installing, be careful they are delicate. Replace plate every year or so, Or if ozone smell depreciates. Keep clean of dust, It will clog and burn out your fan motor. Too much ozone is not healthy for you so please use as directed. And never leave pets in the home while it is on full air cleaning mode.

I hope not. The CDC and EPA suggest against Ozone purifiers for home/personal use.

Not technically, but if you aren't a total bone head you should be fine. I use one in my rig and it works great. Get an o2 meter and a carbon monoxide alarm, don't run it when no one is home, and I don't run mine while I sleep.

I don't know. I bought one to install with an old Jacuzzi hot tub. My tub's jets don't create enough vacuum to suck in the ozone during normal thermal cycling. I would have had to add an external air pump to force the ozone into the tub's plumbing. My tub does have a high-speed jet mode but that isn't on enough to be useful. I sent this unit back. I may try one of the other models that has a built in pump and brick

I think you are not supposed to use it in an occupied room because people with asthma can have some trouble. We run it on low ozone with no trouble. We used it to get the paint chemicals out of a room and it seemed to work quite nicely.

I would not recommend indoor use...or maybe in an open well ventilated space (like a garage or sun porch) because you would still get smoke from any grease that falls on the element. It is great for car trips...if you are going to be where you have electricity. It is about the size of a large beach ball and very light weight. The lid actually locks on the unit.
