recommendations for
mold
and mildew reduction
Mold, mildew, and fungus
can be oxidized with ozone. Crystal Air ozone generators reduce or
eliminate the ability for the exposed mold, mildew and fungus to grow as
well as oxidizing the existing mold. Mold and mildew grow in dark and
humid places where there is a lack of fresh oxygen. In all cases the
moisture and humidity in the walls, floor etc., must first be removed or
solved permanently to effectively eliminate the problem mold and odor.
Once moisture is removed, all visible mold and mildew should be removed,
then a shock treatment procedure can be preformed lasting for 24-72 hrs. A
small ozone generator can be used to help control continuous mildew
problem odors if they persist.

For commercial mold treatments
jobs you should use .5-2 g/hr ozone for every 100 sq/ft, depending on
how fast the job needs to be done and how bad the problem is. With .5
g/hr / 100 sq/ft you should treat for 1-2 days +, with 2 g/hr / 100
sq/ft it should only take about 6-12 hours.

For the do-it-yourself home owner,
the treatments can be done one room at a time to allow the use of a
much smaller unit. Just calculate the size of your largest room to
come up with the size of unit that you will require. Also most home
owners are not in as much of a rush to do the job, if this is so you
can probably do the job with 1/4 of the above recommended ozone
production.
Application Procedures:
Site preparation:
1. Mold usually occurs because of a
leak or humidity problem. This leak or humidity problem must be fixed
or solved or the problem will continue to persist.
2. All damaged or rotten items should
be removed from the area as well as any carpet, wall board, or other
building materials that are to be replaced.
3. Thoroughly clean all areas
possible, remove any visible mold, mildew, etc.
Ozone application:
Place the ozone generator in an area
that will provide the best circulation and distribution of the ozone.
Run an extension cord from all generators to the receptacle closest to
the exit door. Use auxiliary fans to help with circulation, this will
also help to drive the ozone into the pores of the materials. Turn the
generator/s to full output and to the on position. Leave the premises
and lock all entrances. Allow the ozone application to operate for the
above recommended time. If the problem is especially bad increase the
amount of ozone used or the length of the application accordingly.
Upon returning to the premises, turn off the ozone generators by
unplugging the extension cord or use timers available at your local
lumber store for less than $20. Leave the premises and lock all
entrances. Allow the building to sit for 4-8 hrs, this allows the
remaining ozone to convert back to oxygen and reduce ozone exposure.
- Special notes on mold, mildew,
etc.
- - Crystal Air ozone generators help
to reduce or eliminate the ability for the exposed mold, mildew and
fungus to grow. However mold and mildew grow in dark and humid
places where there is a lack of oxygen and is usually caused by a
leak, improper drainage, or high humidity. In all cases the moisture
and humidity in the walls, floor etc., must be removed permanently
to effectively eliminate the problem.
- In all cases you
must do a test to know the effectiveness of your ozone application. If you
do not test before and after the treatment you will not know whether it
was effective. This test should be done on a regular schedule to ensure
that the contamination does not return.
