Hi Sally, A few things you could do with your 'strong' ozone generator.
Mount it up high, a few inches to a foot below the ceiling. Ozone is heavier than air and tends to flow naturally downwards, thus mixing with the room air. Use it when the house is un-occupied and then use a timer to switch it off automatically after, say an hour. Use an on/off timer. Plug that into the wall and plug the ozonator into the timer. Set the timer to something like 5 minutes on and 10 minutes off. If you can then let the ozone outlet pass through water either a mist spray or bubbled through water. Check to see if there is not an adjustment or a connection for reducing the output.
