Installation & Safety

Read this before you install anything you bought from us. It explains what our instructions are, what they are not, and who is responsible for what.

Our instructions are educational. They are not a professional assessment.

We are a product manufacturer and retailer. Everything we provide — guides, videos, diagrams, drawings, and anything our support team tells you — is general educational information about our products. It is not electrical, structural, engineering, HVAC, medical or legal advice, and it is not an assessment of your specific site, system or building.

We are not licensed to provide electrical work, HVAC work, structural or mechanical engineering assessments, or medical advice. Where your installation involves any of those, it must be done by a licensed, insured professional in your jurisdiction.

Means and methods — you and your installer decide, not us

In no event does Ozonenator have responsibility for, control over, charge of, or liability for the means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of installation, or for safety precautions in connection with it. Those are the responsibility of the owner, the contractor and the installer.

Every site differs — the construction and condition of attachment points, the local building and safety code, and local practice. Our installation guidance describes ideal conditions, and there is no ideal installation in real life. Our hardware and tools are supplied as building material; they do not constitute the specific or final installation hardware for your site.

Following our instructions does not by itself constitute proper installation. You and your installer must make the final on-site determination of the means and methods appropriate for your installation. There is no substitute for consulting a local licensed contractor, architect, engineer or code inspector.

Your responsibilities

  • Hire licensed professionals for any work involving electrical connections, HVAC modification, or structural attachment.
  • Meet your local code. Our products are built to recognised standards, but your city, county or state may impose stricter requirements, and local code governs.
  • Obtain any permits your jurisdiction requires, before installation.
  • Verify compatibility — electrical supply, mounting surface, or system capacity — against the product's specifications before you begin.
  • Check your order before installation day. Lay everything out and do a dry run well in advance. Our Missing, Damaged or Wrong Parts policy explains how we put a problem right, and it needs time to work.

Installer time and labour

Our responsibility is to provide complete, correct materials, and we keep sending what you need until your order is right. We do not cover installer labour costs — lost time, emergency site visits, rescheduling fees, or hourly rates where work cannot be completed. Arrangements with your installer are between you and your installer.

Almost every lost-time claim we see comes from a crew arriving at a site having never opened a box. That is preventable, and the preparation step above is how it is prevented. To protect yourself: require pre-installation verification as part of your installer's quote, and make the installer responsible for confirming they have everything before installation day.

If you disagree with how we have applied this policy, tell us — we will look at it. This policy does not affect any right you have under applicable law.

Risks you are accepting

Installing and using these products carries real risk. Depending on the product, that can include electric shock, falls, cuts, burns, fire from incorrect or overloaded wiring, and failure of an improperly installed system. Disconnect power before servicing anything electrical, use properly rated circuits, and wear appropriate protective equipment.

Indemnification and liability

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ozonenator, its officers, directors, employees and agents against claims arising from your installation or use of our products — including personal injury, property damage, damage to your building systems, and the cost of professional services needed to correct an installation. This does not extend to claims arising from our own negligence or from incorrect information we supplied.

For economic loss — lost income, loss of use, substitute goods, business interruption, and consequential property damage — our total liability is limited to the purchase price you paid for the product at issue. This limit does not apply to claims for personal injury, and nothing in this policy limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; where that is so, our liability is limited to the maximum extent the law permits.

Ozonenator — ozone safety and placement

An ozone generator is not an air purifier you run while the room is occupied. Ozone is a respiratory irritant. Never operate the unit in a space occupied by people, pets or plants.

  • Vacate the space. Run the unit only in an unoccupied, closed room, and set the timer for the room size and the model's output rating.
  • Ventilate before re-entry. After the cycle finishes, air the space out thoroughly before anyone goes back in. If you can smell ozone, the space is not ready.
  • Match the unit to the room. Run-time and room-size guidance is specific to your model's mg/hr rating, printed on the spec plate on the back of the unit. Guidance for a different model does not transfer.
  • Respiratory conditions. Anyone with asthma or another respiratory condition should take particular care over re-entry timing.
  • Damaged unit. If the housing is cracked or the unit was damaged in transit, disconnect it from power and do not operate it — a damaged ozone generation plate can produce unpredictable output. See our Missing, Damaged or Wrong Parts policy.

Placement, timing and ventilation are the whole of safe operation with this product. If you are unsure what is right for your space, ask us before you run it.
