WHICH OZONE GENERATOR SHOULD I CHOOSE?

The principle of shock disinfection with ozone is to fill the cleaned area with a sufficient concentration of ozone, which will take care of the effective elimination of all viruses, bacteria, odors and other undesirable substances. This means that the more space you need to clean, the more powerful generator (in milligrams of ozone per hour) you will need.

Manufacturers' tests show that for every 100 m 2 of space, a suitable output is about 10,000 mg of ozone per hour. However, a more powerful generator can do its job faster in the same space than a weaker one.

You will find specific combinations in our table below:

Power is calculated on an area with a standard ceiling height of 2.5 m.

Power is calculated on an area with a standard ceiling height of 2.5 m.



Simply put, the choice depends on the application, if you want to use the ozone generator only in your home environment, the basic type BLACK will suffice.
For companies, hotels, hospitals and other larger or more loaded spaces, the professional middle path BLUE .
For industrial use, large areas or means of public transport with high pollution/odor, we recommend the WHITE industrial generator.

Keep in mind that too much ozone can cause strong odor that may remain in the room for several weeks.

USING THE OZONE GENERATOR STEP BY STEP

1. Clear the space of animals, plants and sensitive things

2. Start the generator for the specified time and leave the room

3. After the treatment, allow the ozone to decompose for at least 60 minutes

4. Enter the area and ventilate it well

TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE OZONE CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Before using the generator, thorough mechanical cleaning of the premises should first take place. Do not use ozone as the only form of cleaning, whether it is disinfecting viruses or getting rid of odors.

For maximum results during disinfection, first mechanically clean surfaces that come into contact with humans with conventional cleaning tools. When cleaning areas from odors, etc., thoroughly vacuum and wipe the floors, remove any deposits and deposits of dust or other dirt. Ozone penetrates from the outside in, so dirt deposits make its process more difficult.

We propose a layered approach that starts with the best cleaning you can provide. If the carpet is a problem, have it cleaned thoroughly. If they are caused by smoke-soaked walls, wash them thoroughly, but do not repaint until the problem is completely eliminated. We recommend repainting the walls only after eliminating the problem by cleaning and using the ozone generator.

Sizing Guide. How Much Ozone Do I Need?

How many milligrams of ozone per hour (mg/h) you need depends on three factors. 1) Temperature. 2) Humidity. 3) Your objective.

Humidity reduces the amount of ozone that can be created by corona discharge by the percentage of humidity in the air. At 50% humidity, you reduce the amount of ozone that can be created by 50%. At 80% humidity, you reduce the amount of ozone that can be created by 80%. So on and so forth. (If using ceramic ozone plate technology.}

For that reason, and the fact ceramic ozone plate technology poses a fire hazard, we gave up selling plate technology years ago and invested in the next generator of ozone technology. Quartz tubes. Quart tubes glass with stainless steel screens on both sides to create ozone. The next-gen is more like a UV lamp with only metal on the inside. The total amount of surface that can create ozone is 5 times larger than our old 10g 'lined' ceramic ozone plate. This new technology utilizes 'cold corona' which means the ozone element does not get too hot (over 90 degrees.) Ceramic plates get over 140 degrees and the stacked transformers? 180 degrees. Less heat with our tech means more ozone! Also, since the ozone tube doesn't get too hot, we don't need to blow a high volume of air directly over the tube to create ozone. We can 'suck' the ozone that is being created on the quartz tube through a fan, which allows for 3-4 times higher ozone concentrations exiting the unit vs conventional ozone plate technology.

So how much ozone do you need? You need around mg/h per 100 square feet to create 'shock' levels of ozone. (6-10 ppm) 1ppm is the EPA guideline for ozone. Above 1ppm, ozone will start to compromise the lung function of humans. Over 5 ppm, ozone will kill small insects like mites (takes around one hour of 5 ppm or more exposure) and for sure kill all molds, bacteria, and viruses which often only take minutes to kill.

How much ozone you need also depends on your objective. Are you trying to kill dust mites or bird mites? Mold or fungus? Get rid of second-hand smoke damage? Get rid of VOC's? Or just freshen the air. They all take different run times and protocols.

We provide exact information on how to perform ozone shock treatments in our manuals and over the . This is just general information on how ozone works and how much you need.

PS. Beware that the ozone machines being sold on Amazon and eBay directly from the Chinese are misrepresenting the amount of ozone they create! They feature mgh ceramic ozone plates but claim to produce 30,000, 36,000, even 40,000 milligram per hour of ozone. Others sell stacked ceramic plates on a transformer that present a fire hazard with un-replaceable plates. (even worse, see below). These types of ozone cells are now illegal in most countries due to the amount of homes they've burnt down, so the Chinese are liquidating them on Amazon for less than cost just to dump them on us, probably hoping we cause some havoc along the way. So before you buy an ozone generator on Amazon. You should strongly consider asking the seller to point you to the replacement plate and cost. And forget about getting an extended warranty. They charge you shipping both ways and these units are heavy! The cost of shipping them both ways for repair far exceeds what you paid for the product. Simply ask the vendor where you can buy a replacement ozone plate. Then note the strength of said ozone plate. And please note. Those stacked ceramic plate transformers heats up to 180 degrees within minutes and since heat destroys ozone, the amount of ozone that unit will make will be greatly reduced. They actually create a burnt ozone smell that will last for quite some time. So don't apply our information to those machines. They will only treat rooms up to 300-400 square feet at best, then crap out within a year because the thin copper strip of metal on the on-off switch or timer will corrode from the ozone (why our units do not feature built in timers or on-off switches) Lucky for you, you found us!

A Burnt out stacked certamic plate transformer. These can utilize 2, 3, or 4 stacked plates. The red 'hot' wires that connect to the ceramic are glued on and can dislodge and electrify the metal case, creating a shock or fire hazard. Or the metal part that the plates are glued to can become so hot they melt the plastic part of the transformer, or the separators. These transformers were deemed to be a fire hazzard and discontinued around the world. The Chinese are now liquidating them at a loss on Amazon. Not only will those who purchase them have to worry about burning down their house. Or getting shocked. They'll be buying an item with no future. Once the plates wear out, and they will after only a few months. They can't be replaced. Making the unit completely worthless except as a door stop. And get this. Since they're heavy. The cost to pay shipping both ways for a replacement is over 2 times more than the cost of the item itself!
