The ozone machines that I use in my business are great for sterilizing a room, but for vegetable we use an ozone bubbler. They run about $200 or less for a small model. Just fill the sink with your produce and run the bubbler in the water for about 1/2 hour. The ozonated water should kill all microorganisms. Tested and found effective by the FDA on e. coli and MRSA. Haven't heard anything about rat lung disease yet. Ozone won't kill the snails. Only microorganisms. You might give them a bad case of asthma. Ah the sound of coquis and wheezing snails.
More and more produce companies and meat facilities are washing there equipment down with ozonated water. You can buy a whole house ozone generator for your water for about 2-3 thousand. UV is cheaper but less effective from what I've read.
In the mean time go out on a snail stomp.
