The History Of Ozone
The Odor of Ozone was first reported by Van Mauren in 1785, in the vicinity of an electrical discharge. In 1840, Christian Schonbein observed a unique odor during electrolysis and electrical sparking experiments and identified this characteristic odor as a previously undermined compound. He named it Ozone after the Greek work “ozein”, meaning to smell.

However the identity of the structure of the compound was confirmed in 1867 as triatomic oxygen. This simply means the Ozone molecule contains three oxygen atoms, having the chemical symbol O3. Ozone is no this more than another molecular form of oxygen, the chemical symbol for which is O2.

Ozone has been commercially used since 1893 when the first full-scale drinking water treatment application was implemented. In 1906, the city of nice, France built the first municipal water purification plant utilizing Ozone. The first commercial pool to utilize Ozone as disinfection system in the U.S. was the Mohawk Cruiser Swim and Tennis Club in Bryam, NJ in 1937. An Ozone system was displayed at the 39/40 New York world’s Fair as the future in water treatment. Then, in the 1940’s, Ozone was used to purify the indoor pool water at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.

Recently, Los Angeles built the largest Ozone plant in the world for purification of the city’s drinking water supply. Though Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer that can be safely used in pools and spas, the number of pools using Ozone as the primary disinfectant is relatively low in the U.S., however the numbers are growing rapidly.

What is Ozone?
That fresh clean smell after a thunderstorm is the result of God's own natural air purifier, "OZONE". Ozone is the safest and second most powerful oxidant known to man. In simple layperson’s terms, Ozone, as an oxidant, neutralizes contaminants or chemically alters them, so that they can be more easily eliminated. The high oxidation potential of Ozone is the reason that it is becoming the most valuable and powerful tool in air and water purification, food preservation, and body detoxification.

Chemistry of Ozone
Ozone (O3) is the tri-atomic form of oxygen, also known as "Active Oxygen". It is a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms (O1+O1+O1=O3) as opposed to the two oxygen atoms which comprise the normal oxygen molecule (O1+O1=O2). Ozone is formed naturally by the Ultra-Violet Rays of the sun (photochemical reaction) and by lighting (bio-electrical reaction). Ozone is also formed synthetically by passing air or oxygen over an ultra-Violet Lamp (photochemical reaction) and through a high-voltage field (bio-electrical reaction). Some of the oxygen molecules are split into two separate oxygen atoms. These single atoms then form semi-unstable bonds with the oxygen molecules (O2+O1=O3/Ozone). These oxygen molecules are highly reactive. This reactivity is because of the third atom of oxygen, also known as a “Hungry Atom”, this atom being very eager to break away from this semi-unstable bond and react with any oxidizable compound (organic or inorganic). Also due to it’s reactivity, Ozone has a very short life span (about 20 min).

Mechanism of Ozone
As was stated before, ozone exists as a very unstable molecule, thus being readily biodegradable and very useful by virtue of it’s oxidizing properties. The Ozone molecule is a highly effective biocide and purifying/cleaning agent because of it’s powerful oxidizing potential. Ozone destroys bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, protozoa, algae and yeast more effectively than any other biocide available. Perhaps equally important is the fact that Ozone prohibits the ability of microorganisms to develop a resistance to Ozone.

The ability of Ozone to oxidize inorganic and organic compounds and kill microorganisms are properties which have been harnessed and applied to many present day needs. For Example, more than 2,000 cities, throughout the world including Los Angeles and Dallas, starting over 100 years ago, have been using Ozone to very effectively purify their municipal water supplies.

Safety of Ozone
Ozone is a colorless gas with a characteristically clean, but strong odor. It spontaneously decomposes back to oxygen under all ordinary conditions, thus not being encountered except in the immediate vicinity of where it is formed. The toxicity of Ozone has been debated for many years. Ozone, being very reactive and oxidative, can be somewhat harsh on the lungs, because of the reaction with the contamination. Ozone is not so much an irritant itself, like the contamination to which it is reacting. Tests seem to show that reaction to the Ozone/air mixture is influenced by many factors, including the amount of nitrous oxide present (depending on the Ozone Generator design), exposure concentration, the duration of the exposure, whether the exposed individual is at rest or active, and the susceptibility of that individual.

The current Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) standard for Ozone is 0.1 parts per million (ppm) pf air over a 8 hour work shift. However, Ozone can typically be detected in the air by the sensitive human nose in a concentration range of 0.02 to 0.05 ppm. Although Ozone can be toxic and corrosive in very high concentrations, it presents no safety or handling problems in properly designed operating systems. It’s freedom from operating hazards is witnessed by the long background of trouble-free use in thousands of installations around the world.

Q1. What effect does Ozone has in the air?
A: The concentration of Ozone in the air is about 0.05ppm, and it can reduce the number of bacteria by approximately 7%, and viruses by approximately 6% to 9%. In addition, Ozone can decompose the bad smell of nitrogen and sulfur compounds in the air.

Q2. Can Ozone suppress mold?
A: The way Ozone deals with germs is that it directly oxidizes the cell body of the germ. It damages the genes of the DNA to attain this suppression effect.

Q3. How is Ozone produced in nature?
A: Besides the Ozone layer, Ozone is produced in nature mostly near waterfalls, seashores and forests. After the UV rays of the sun converges with water droplets, the oxygen in the water droplet change into Ozone. Ozone is also produced during rain or lightning strikes.

Q4. Will Ozone be produced in seriously polluted areas?
A: Nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide discharged from car exhausts, will convert part of the oxygen into ozone with the assistance of UV light incidence. The Ozone produced in polluted areas can convert nitrogen monoxide into nitrogen dioxide which can then be dissolved into water. It also can convert carbon monoxide into a stable carbon dioxide, which is used for detoxification processes in nature. Environmental protection organizations usually use the concentration of Ozone as the index of pollution.

Q5. Will Ozone be decomposed in the air or in water? What are the byproducts after decomposition?
A: The half cycle of Ozone in the air is several seconds. After decomposition, oxygen is reduced as a byproduct. Ozone decomposes faster when there are pollutants, with a half-life of 2 to 3 minutes. The byproducts after decomposition are hydroxyl radicals and oxygen.

Q6. What important effects does Ozone have on water quality treatment?
A: When Ozone is decomposed in water, the hydroxyl radical becomes a strong oxidizing agent that can swiftly remove impurities such as iron, manganese, bad smells, odd smells, bacteria, and viruses. It can shrink water molecules to sweeten the taste of the water. In addition, the chlorine and methyl trihalide in water can remove by Ozone.

Q7. How many cases are there of applying Ozone in drinking water?
A: Ozone is considered the best method in the world for processing raw drinking water. More than a thousand water plants in Europe utilize only Ozone for water purification.

Q8. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using ozone for water quality treatment?
A: Treating water with ozone is fast, water saving, power saving, and kills bacteria thoroughly. Regular water filters have the shortcomings of limited lifespan and accumulation of germs, which is not suitable for prolonged use. The anti-osmosis method is power consuming and wastes water resources and filter materials.

Q9. What effects does Ozone have on the health of mouth and teeth?
A: Oral illness is usually caused by the infection of bacteria or germs, and stains remaining in the crevices between teeth cannot be removed by brushes. Thus, the crevices between teeth become the breeding ground for germs and tooth bacteria, and after years it will cause all kinds of mouth cavities or tooth diseases, such as periodontal gums, aphtha, canker sores, coating on the tongue, cavities, bad breath, toothaches, tonsillitis, throat irritations, etc. Ozone has a powerful permeability that can penetrate deeply into alveolus, and quickly complete sterilization effects. Use of an ozone solution to substitute regular daily mouthwash and brushing of teeth can prevent the aforementioned diseases.

Q10. What effect does ozone have on beauty treatment?
A: The metabolism for skin mainly depends on the supply of nutrients and oxygen in the blood. Bacteria grow on thick cuticles easily and affect the texture and cause the aging of the skin; in some severe cases, bacteria many even cause all kinds of pathological changes to the skin. Ozone has functions of disinfection, sterilization, deodorization, and dirt decomposition to replace aged skin, and gradually resume the proper function of the skin. Taking cold ozone shower, the ozone content in the cold water is higher and has better effect on suppressing bacteria, fungi and viruses. When bathing in ozone solution, the oxygen can activate the acupuncture points to relieve fatigue. Ozone bath is an ideal choice for patients with skin diseases.

Q11. Does this product have any byproducts besides the production of anions and ozone?
A: The method of producing ozone by this product uses a patented high-precision plate discharge and quartz glass tubes as the conductor. When the high pressure DC passes through, corona discharge will occur at the grounding electrode, and generate the decomposition to convert 302 to 203 and obtain stable ozone. Therefore, it will not have any byproducts.

Q12. What is the power consumption?
A: Ozone purifier used for the air: The monthly electricity bill is about RM1, provided it is used 12 hours a day. Ozone purifier used for water. The monthly electricity bill is about RM2 provided it is used 3 hours a day.

Q13. How long should I wait before drinking the water that has undergone ozone treatment?
A: Since the water quality varies at different places, the waiting time will differ accordingly. It is recommended to wait for 45 minutes for 20 liters of tap water. If the water quality is poor, then you will need to wait for a longer time. There is an identification method to determine whether the water is ready. Once the bubbles are clear, then the treatment is completed. (The treated water should be filtered before drinking).

Q14. What are the warranties and after sales service?
A: Each machine has a 3 years warranty and serial number. If the machine is properly used (according to the User’s Guide) and under warranty, then any repair is free for the first year for causes other than the natural factors (such as an act of Nature, earthquake or natural factors during transportation).For the second and third year, any repair services is free except for the machine spare parts. If the failure is due to improper use, collision, or dropping, then a reasonable fee will be charged for the material cost.

Q15. Will it become habitual for using this product?
A: Yes, it will become habitual. The so-called “habitual” means that you have already got used to the smell of ozone, and cannot stand the water with the smell of chlorine, bleach and other odd smells; or you are used to the ozone bath, and do not use any other soap. Therefore, we are very positive to tell you that you become habitual, and ozone is one of the necessities of your daily life that you cannot live without it.

Q16. Will it lower the resistance against disease and fall ill easily when we stop using this product?
A: Just the opposite, using this product can activate cells, reinforce immunity system, enhance metabolism, strengthen resistance against diseases, and protect us from being fallen ill. Continual use of this product has more significant effect.

Q17. I am still young, and do not need it now. Do I?
A: Human body and organs will gradually age as we get older, therefore we should start maintaining our body when we are young, and most of the illnesses come from accumulation such as gout, pathological change of lung, diabetics, uremia, etc. They are caused by long-period accumulation of bad habits, drinking, and nutrition in daily life, or not able to get rid of the waste products from the body, or the chronic illness caused by poor sanitation. Therefore, we have the conclusion that maintaining good health should start when we are young?

Q18. Can ozone substitute chlorine for the present disinfections by chlorination?
A: In the past, chlorine was used for disinfections by injecting chlorine directly into water. After the water source was polluted having algae bred and water contaminated, we add more and more chlorine to water for disinfections. However, while we are using chlorine, the reaction between chlorine and the organic matter in water generates carcinogens such as methyl trihalide and threatens our health. Ozone oxidizes and decomposes the methyl trihalide and can remove molds and awful stinking smells by powerful deodorizing effect. In Japan, ozone is widely used for the underwater treatment, and there are 200-300 places in Taiwan that also use ozone for deodorization and disinfections.

Q19. Does ozone have the function of reserving food?
A: Ozone can effectively destroy colon bacillus, Salmonella, cholera vibrio, acidophilus germs, Gram’s negative germs and yeast to keep freshness and decompose odd smells. In Japan, using UV light for disinfections sometimes will change the color of the food, but using ozone will not have such problem at all.

Q20. Can Ozone bath step up out health?
A: Yes, it is because ozone dissolved in water can decompose the germs and dirt in the bores on our body. After cleaning the pores, there is no obstacle in the outlet of our body, and the skin can breath vigorously, and get rid of the waste easily. In other words, it can step up the metabolism that is important for maintaining our health. Therefore, ozone has the effect of stepping up our health?

Q21. It was heard that ozone could cure athletic foot. It is true?
A: Yes, it is true. Athletic foot is an itching symptom caused by the tinea alba germs, and ozone can kill the tinea alba germs. Taking an ozone bath or spraying ozone directly on the suffering part of the foot (avoid getting too close to the mouth or nose in order to prevent inhaling too much ozone) can improve the symptom.
