High School Testimonial

Concord High School -- Elkhart Indiana

I would like to thank you and your company for introducing me to your Sports-O- Zone Sanitizing Machine.  It is a wonderful machine that does everything you said it would.  In this age of infections such as Staph and MRSA this product is the best method of prevention that I have found.  It is our job as Athletic Trainers to not only treat and monitor the athletes but also to be a prevention advocate and the Sports-O-Zone Sanitizer is by far the best prevention tool too eradicate pathogens as well as prevent exposure and the spread of infections. 

 

We have not only used the Sports-O-Zone Sanitizer to sanitize our athletic gear such as helmets, shoulder pads, thigh and knee pads, wrestling head gear, and volleyball pads, but we have also started a program to regularly sanitize our science safety goggles, language head phones, and various items from our nurses clinic. We are extending the use to our Jr. High and organizing a schedule to allow their athletic equipment to be sanitized as well.  I am sure that as we progress we will find many uses for the Ozone Sanitizer to help combat disease in our school.

 

I wish every school could have the access to an Sports-O-Zone Sanitizer.  It is an excellent tool in the ongoing fight against the spread of disease.
