Personally, I'd be more worried about the health effects of Ozone myself.

Looks like to me, looking at their website, that the injector fitting wont work with a heated hose.

You're right about the heated hose. The company's working on a jumper that will allow it to work with heated hoses. Personally, I've been using one of those Aussie heated hoses, which works okay with the system, but newer heated hose systems won't work right now.

Okay, my 2 cents worth..... I searched Amazon and found to types of cpap ozone cleaners. ONE type has the "box" to put the mask in . This type starts at around 300 USD and can climb. It also seems the user has to actually clean the cleaning box every so often.
The other type is a small self contained unit that depends on the user putting the mask (connected to the hose which is connected to the ozone unit) in a plastic bag and sealing it. The unit run from 7 to 20 minutes (depends on unit - all have timers). After the process is completed the instructions say to let them 'air out' for up to 30 minutes (again, depends on unit). These are selling for around 45 to 50 USD.
So which one works? Which one has the most interesting translation into English? As always, it's up to the user.
