Claims15
An apparatus for use in a home refrigerator comprising:
- a submersible and waterproof unitary bottom shell for housing batteries and keeping batteries dry when the bottom shell is submersed in water,
- a top cover;
- means for generating ozone disposed in the top cover;
- and
- time-control circuitry also disposed in the top cover, the time-control circuitry adapted to automatically control durations of periods of generation of ozone and intermittent standby periods.
