Tell Me About Ozone And Pipes

[shaintiques]

I need to ozonate a couple rooms in my house, man cave being one of them which is where I store my pipes and tobacco in jars and tins. Should I take such things out of the area wihle ozoning. I don't want my pipes to taste funky. What do you guys think?

I use an industrial type ozone machine that was once used in a bar I owned and I've never sensed any alteration of my pipes. Perhaps if you used for a year solid cranked high, but normal use you've got nothing to worry about.

You might consider removing your pipes' stems, as ozone can have a detrimental effect on rubber.

Ok that helps

Ozone is used on pipes though to remove ghosting/bacteria at Walker Briar Works, if it's the same thing (likely is) it shouldn't be an issue for the pipes. I would just remove it all to be on the safe side. If it's an ionizer, that's a whole different ball game.
