What is Ozone

Ozone is often referred to as nature’s own purifier. It is evident at the seashore, in rain forests and after thunderstorms.
Ozone is sometimes called "activated oxygen". It contains three atoms of oxygen (O3) instead of the usual two found in normal oxygen (O2) that is essential for life. High in the atmosphere the ozone layer is created by the action of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun on the oxygen atoms.
At ground level the unmistakeable fresh smell in the air following a thunderstorm is ozone created by the effect of the lightning discharge on the oxygen atoms. Ozone is also created naturally as a result of photochemical reactions due to the pollutants such as NOX and SOX that are found in the atmospheres of cities and industrial areas.
Ozone can also be created artificially by generating a high voltage electrical corona across a dielectric to form what is known as a "silent discharge".











Ozone (O3) is known to be one of the most powerful disinfectants and oxidants available.
It can kill microbial contaminates like E.coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Giardia and Cryptosporidium more effectively than conventional disinfectants like chlorine
It can also kill mosquitos and other insects.

How Is Ozone Used
In fact, ozone kills E.coli more than 3,000 times faster than chlorine, another popular but sometime ineffective disinfectant.
As a disinfectant, these atoms quickly destroy the bacteria, mold, mildew and the odors they cause when they come into contact and leave behind only oxygen.

> Ozone does not just mask odors like mere air fresheners
> It reacts with odor causing substances in air, water, fabrics and on surfaces of walls and ceilings
> After a certain period of time it harmlessly converts to CO2 and Oxygen

How Does It Work
> When generated, it seeps into crevices, carpets, drapes, furniture, and under beds where normal air currents are xxminimal or non-existent.

> When the extra oxygen atom splits off from the ozone molecule, one of two things happen: disinfecting and xxoxidation.
