Ozone Direct - Plug-in Ozone Generator for Odour and Mould Control
Best for: Growers who need to knock down smells fast in a small to medium grow space, and who want a generator flexible enough to use both inside and outside the growing area.
Our thoughts
Most ozone generators are built for one job in one place - this one's a bit more flexible, since it can run inside the grow space or out in the wider room. That's handy if you're dealing with lingering smells beyond just the tent itself. Simple plug-in operation, no fuss.
The Ozone Direct Plug-in Ozone Generator produces ozone (O3) to neutralise airborne odours and help control mould-causing bacteria and pathogens in the air, rather than just masking smells the way a scent spray does. It's rated to output around 7mg of ozone per hour, which puts it in the lower-output bracket suited to smaller spaces rather than industrial-scale odour control.
Unlike most plug-in ozone units, which are designed strictly for use inside a sealed grow area, this one can be run either inside the grow space or out in the open room, giving you more flexibility if odour is escaping beyond just your tent. It's timer-controlled, CE approved, and runs off a standard 240V mains supply.
How it compares
Plug-in ozone generators sit alongside carbon filters and odour-neutralising gels as ways to manage grow room smells, each with different trade-offs.
- A carbon filter on your extraction fan tackles odour at the exhaust point continuously, whereas this unit treats ambient air in the room it's placed in - the two work well together rather than as substitutes.
- Odour-neutralising gels and sprays mask or chemically bind smells but don't actively treat mould or bacteria in the air the way ozone does.
- Compared with most single-purpose plug-in ozone units, this one's ability to run outside the grow space as well as inside it is a genuine point of difference.
It's a lower-output unit suited to small-to-medium spaces rather than a replacement for proper carbon filtration on a larger extraction setup.
Usage guidance
Ozone generators should be used with a bit of care, since ozone itself isn't something you want to breathe in high concentrations.
Placement
Position the unit in the space you want treated - either inside the grow area when unoccupied, or in a wider room dealing with lingering odours.
Timer use
Use the built-in timer to run the unit for set periods rather than continuously, especially in occupied spaces, and avoid direct exposure while it's running.
Ongoing use
For persistent odour issues, run it on a schedule alongside your normal extraction rather than as a one-off treatment.

Who this is for
- Growers dealing with lingering odour issues beyond just their tent or grow space
- Anyone wanting extra odour and airborne mould control alongside existing carbon filtration
- Growers with small to medium grow spaces who need a low-cost, plug-in solution
- Anyone needing to freshen a space quickly ahead of a visitor or inspection
Best suited to smaller spaces - larger commercial setups will need higher-output ozone equipment.
Our take
This is a straightforward, no-frills ozone generator that does one job - knocking down odours and airborne nasties - and does it in more places than most plug-in units, thanks to its indoor/outdoor flexibility. It's not going to replace a proper carbon filter setup, but it's a useful extra layer.
Reliable performance without overpaying for features you don't need. Worth picking up if you want equipment you can rely on.
