Here is information from the National Ozone/Oxidation Association (They could be biased. lol)Isn't ozone bad for plastics/polymers, which our interiors have lots of?
Does Ozone Damage Plastic or Rubber? | National Ozone/Oxidation Association
So, what about the not-so-secret hype about ozone melting the rubber seals on a refridgerator, destroying the padding under carpet, or harming electronics? In the last ten years, we have had NO DOCUMENTED CASE where an ozone treatment has damaged any soft plastic or rubber. But, there is still an element of truth behind the hype. Years ago, small ozone generators were rated at 1000, 2500, and 5000 mg/hr. To treat a home, people would run these small ozone generators for one day to one week. Therefore, the incremental concern for damage from ozone did happen in isolated cases.
Today, professional ozone generators are producing 20,000, 30,000, and 40,000 mg/hr that achieve "Shock Level Ozone" treatments. Treatments can be applied in 1 to 4 hours, and the actual reports of damage are nonexistant.
After reading some more information I just propped my up outside the intake and turned the fan on 2 and activated all vents inside, opened it up for fresh air intake and turned on the ozone generator. The one I have seems to pump out a lot of ozone so I skipped the bag. The scope post that found foam in the vents moved me to try ozone.
