Getting The Right Ozone Sanitizing Device For Clean Water

By Lisa Clark


Ozone generators require a source of oxygen to make ozone (O3). This is simply three oxygen atoms connected together (O3). The air that we breathe contains about 21% oxygen and is built from two oxygen atoms (O2). You can buy pure oxygen from industrial and medical gas suppliers. It is also possible to make oxygen using a so-called oxygen concentrator. Small versions of ozone sanitizing devices are used for home medical purposes. They also produce a gas that is extremely dry which is 90-95% oxygen.

In order for O3 to be effective, you need to reach shock levels of the gas in the areas being treated. Most homeowner grade O3 generators never reach shock levels, and the homeowner is forced to let the machine run for days on end, to accomplish an effect. This can have unintended negative effective on objects, electronics, and rubber items in the area being treated.

It takes less than a few hours to learn the ropes, and the best way to get experience is to give away free treatments to potential customers that are what are called in the business, "bird dogs". These are people that are in the position to refer future business and future clients to you. Who needs odor removal? Apartment building owners need odor removal. REO Realtors need to get rid of smells in houses. Used car dealerships need to get rid of cigarette and other smells. Gymnasiums need to get rid of sweat smells. Bowling alleys need to get rid of cigarette odors.

Ozone equipment can be used in conjunction with mold remediation training and certification. There are many national mold certification and training programs available that will teach you to offer completely effective, field proven completely mold remediation which is used in conjunction with O3 machines.

If you live in a home chances are 100% there is some mold present. Why do you ask? Because mold and especially mold spores (seeds) are everywhere in our everyday environment. That's right chances are you are breathing in some mold spores right now even as you read this article. The body though has defenses against this and if in good immune health can easily process the spores that exist in normal concentrations in outdoor air.

When dealing with indoor air though things become a little bit more complicated. In indoor environments, air can become stagnant and is not subjected to nature's normal cleansing mechanisms which are primarily UV light or direct sunlight, and O3 which is produced when sunlight in the right frequencies reacts with moisture in the air and releases O3. Indoors this does not happen.

For many years, commercial on-premise laundry (OPL) operators have been hearing promises that ozone laundry systems would provide a dramatic gain in laundry operational efficiencies (especially through energy savings) without a loss in linen outcomes. Unfortunately, there were some poorly conceived systems on the market that over-promised and under-delivered.

O3 is a non-chemical sanitizer. Unfortunately, O3 alone is not an effective enough sanitizer to keep a spa healthy by itself and is used with another sanitizer like chlorine or bromine. O3 will reduce the required amounts of the primary sanitizer being used thereby reducing the negative effects of that chemical. The most significant drawback to O3 is the significant start up costs and the periodic need to replace the bulb. Additionally, O3 can be hazardous when used on an indoor spa and therefore should not be used.
