I've been looking thru the site that Al linked to. I'm thinking for my money the XT-800 <http://www.air-zone.com/xt800.html> might almost be overkill, but without actually crossing that line. I'm thinking that tenting would somewhat contain the ozone and further benefit the shock to the odor-causing problems. Has anyone on the list used an ozone generator? How long does it take, at what output level and what sort of room/tent volume? Is it a permanent solution? For rodent infestations, would one remove the keys? (I'm mainly considering a few uprights I have in mind at this point.) What would 160°F for 4-6 hours do to a piano? (Not to mention possible fire hazard.) Thanks all...
