[moneysavr]

Hi
I store my drysuit and wetsuit about 15' away from our oil furnace, the basement it drafts real well. I read that storage of neoprene near a water heater is bad=ozone? we dont have that ours is electric is the furnace bad too?
Thanks,
Brad

Short answer, "yes." After the suits are dry, seal them in plastic bags.

I don't see how an oil furnace will make ozone. Does it have an electric pump or something attached to it?

Electric motors tend to be ozone producers because of large numbers of small electric sparks, which create ozone. Ozone is bad for rubber products.
