Abstract
An ozone mitigation system reduces the amount of ozone that is expelled from a toilet or another water consuming appliance. The ozone mitigation system may include an ozone generator in communication with a tank of the water consuming appliance. An air source and a power source may be connected to the ozone generator. An ozone flow restrictor or ozone eliminator is operable inside of the tank and configured to modify a flow of ozone from the ozone generator through the toilet tank.
Claims22
An ozone mitigation system for a toilet, the ozone mitigation system comprising:
- an ozone generator in communication with a toilet tank;
- an air source connected to the ozone generator;
- a power source connected to the ozone generator;
- and
- an ozone flow restrictor operable inside of the toilet tank and configured to modify a flow of ozone from the ozone generator through the toilet tank.
A method for ozone mitigation in a toilet tank, the method comprising:
- providing air to an ozone generator;
- providing power to the ozone generator;
- generating, at the ozone generator, ozone in a toilet tank in response to the air or the power;
- and
- restricting a flow of the ozone in the toilet tank.
(canceled)
An ozone mitigation system for a toilet, the ozone mitigation system comprising:
- an air supply;
- a power supply;
- an ozone generator configured to generate ozone, in a toilet tank, from the air supply and the power supply;
- and
- an ozone eliminator configured to reduce ozone expelled from the toilet tank.
