When does the ozone generator get used? Hopefully not when there is
anybody in the tub. In commercial use, respirators and maximum
ventilation are required. It protects us from ultra-violet but turns
tires into dust. You do not want to breath it.

ozone. Don't do it.)

Ozone water systems are quite common in spas and hot tubs. No health
alarms have been sounded over them that I'm aware of?

Goomba,
I am not an authority on the toxicity of O3 (ozone) however I've worked
with it and I've been told to respect it. Somebody, somewhere must have
found an acceptable LD50 level for it but,

the American Lung Association
http://lungaction.org/reports/sota04_heffects3.html
and,
the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety
http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemi...e/health_ozo.h
tml apparently haven't given their imprimatur to it
and,
OSHA has set fairly strict limits to exposer of it.

I don't know but, if your going to get one, you should research it out
first. It is not a no brainer. My observation is that it is really
ridiculous that we are at the point where we need an advocate when we go
into the market place. Who can know all this stuff? We do self-help in
this news group but when it comes to GMOs, cloned meats, safe
insecticides, drugs, and cell phones, we are the guinea pigs. Oh yeah,
that goes for CEO Presidents too.(Remember that one?)

Sorry guys but you may want to take a gander at

0as%20good%20and%20bad%20ozone
as well. It is for air borne O3, which O3 is once it's no longer part of
the solute, but reinforces the concept of not good.

Kent - I thought the King had more affected the Duke of Albany than
Cornwall.

Gloster - It did always seem so to us: but now, in the division of the
Kingdom, it appears not which of the dukes he values most; for
equalities are so weighted that curiosity in neither can make choice of
either's moiety.... (to be continued:-)
