After tireless research, he found that ozone sanitizing in a humidified environment was the best solution, and was offered by no one. Based upon his research and his work experience in the medical device and food industries, he designed a cabinet in which his family could sanitize the gear based upon the best known sanitizing practices in those industries, and ZONOsanitech was born. He then took the concept one step further for sports gear, by adding the capability to dry wet gear.
