FAQs provide you with information to help you better understand the Ozone purification process and the benefits of using our services. If you have questions not covered here, just ask us.

Ozone is naturally made by UV rays of the sun as it enters our atmosphere and contacts oxygen — what people know as the “ozone layer.” Ozone is one of the strongest germicides known, 3,000 times stronger than chlorine. Ozone can also be made by several types of ozone generators that break up 02 (oxygen) to make 03 (ozone)

Ozone is commonly used in the purification of drinking water, wastewater, air, and pools and spas.

The amount of ozone produced by an ozone generator is insignificant to the normal atmosphere we live in. Excess ozone quickly converts back to oxygen. Note: Do not breathe concentrated ozone.

No! Smog is air pollution created by combustion polluters. While smog contains small amounts of ozone, it is largely composed of harmful chemicals, such as carbon monoxide. In fact, smog and other pollutants may contribute to the damage of the ozone layer.

No. The amount of ozone to effectively treat homes, cars, etc. is small enough that any molecules breaking free into the air are insignificant.

Humans and pets should not breathe concentrated ozone.

Yes. Depending on the concentration, the odor ranges from slightly sweet to moderately antiseptic.

Yes. It is one of the most effective, complete bactericides of all earth’s measurable elements.

In the quantities needed for water purification, it has no noticeable odor, taste, or color. It is not irritating to humans or equipment. Ozone purifies water and air quickly and efficiently — 3,000 times faster than chlorine. Ozone leaves no byproducts except pure oxygen. In contrast, chlorine leaves a chemical byproduct called hydrochloric acid and additional salts in water applications.

Yes. Ozone kills virtually all known forms of viruses in water and the air.

Ozone can be produced in a number of ways; however, the most effective method is via “very ultraviolet light generation.”

A special lamp gives off a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light, which converts oxygen (O2) molecules into active oxygen, ozone (O3) molecules. This all occurs instantly inside the ozone chamber of the ozone generator. It’s also known as a photochemical process.

Yes. Ozone generators are one of the most effective, yet least costly, methods by far of killing mold and mildew.

Ozone kills odors from sources such as cigarette smoke, smoke damage from fire, paint fumes, cooking, cleaning, decaying matter, pets, urine, pesticides, and many more.

Ozone reacts with an impurity, the impurity is oxidized and ozone is consumed. Only oxygen is left. The impurity must be reintroduced for the odor, mold, bacteria, etc. to return.

A typical home treatment takes 24 hours but can vary based on the severity of the problem.  Autos and other vehicles may take an hour or less.  Commercial buildings may vary based on size and severity of the problem. 

Concentrated Ozone has a short life and dissipates quickly once the generators are disconnected leaving a slight chemical odor which also dissipates in time. Ozone dispersion in the air is influenced by room size, temperature, dust, and pollutants. When treatment is completed, your technician will let you know when it is safe to return, typically 3-4 hours, so you can begin the airing out process.  If anyone in the household has odor sensitivities or lung issues, it is advisable that they not reenter the home until the residual chemical odor has dissipated.  Due to liability reasons, your technician cannot leave windows or doors open without express written consent.
