Why Ozone to disinfect and sanitize?

Ozone, also known as O3, is the free-radical form of oxygen used extensively for safely sanitizing and cleaning a wide variety of products on a commercial and industrial basis. As a cleaning agent, O3 is up to 3200 times faster acting and up to 150 times more powerful than chlorine bleach. As a result, O3 rapidly kills bacteria, fungus and other pathogens. Further, 03 also does not leave any residue on materials. 

Why Does My Hockey Equipment Smell So Bad?

The short answer is your sweat. Your skin microbes love your sweat which is salts, ammonia and urea. It's essentially a buffet for bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, and Propionibacteria acnes and other bacteria. Our machine kills these bacteria.
