Ozone Generators

Hi Steve, I have an ozone generator made by Quantum but I have been reluctant to leave it on for long periods because I understood that ozone would cause deterioration of rubber goods. I see that you leave it on the boat during lay up. Is it on constantly? How do you use it ? Thanks Mike B. s/v Spurwing

Yes – it is on constantly. I have heard both sides of the deteriorization story. But I don’t think we have any rubber in our hoses (all plastic) – so far – five years – it has not been a problem for us. Steve
