Ozone Generator | 1000 mg/hour

The Ozone Generator at 1000 mg/hour is a portable electrical unit that produces ozone gas for treating air and water and for washing vegetables and fruit at home. The 1000 mg/hour output rate is the figure ozone units are compared on, because it sets how much gas is produced per unit of time and therefore what room size or water volume the unit suits. This unit is for anyone wanting a household way to treat odours and wash fresh produce without added chemicals.

What is ozone gas?

Ozone is a gas with the formula O3, meaning its molecule is built from three oxygen atoms rather than the two in ordinary oxygen. That third atom is weakly bound and inclined to break away, which is the source of both ozone's oxidising character and its short life before it reverts to ordinary oxygen.

How the ozone generator works

The ozone generator runs on the corona discharge principle: dry air passes through an electrical field that splits oxygen molecules into single atoms. Those atoms then bind to other oxygen molecules to form ozone gas, which exits through a hose either into water or directly into the air.

Uses of the ozone generator

• Odour treatment: Ozone is used to treat odours lingering in kitchens and enclosed spaces.
• Washing vegetables and fruit: The gas is pumped into a basin of water in which fresh produce is submerged.
• Fish tank water treatment: The unit is used to treat aquarium water with run time controlled.
• Airing enclosed spaces: It suits closed rooms, cupboards and basements where air goes stale.
• Quiet operation: The unit runs at a low noise level with limited electrical draw.
• Portable size: The unit is small and easy to move between kitchen, rooms and car.

What sets this unit apart

An output rate of 1000 mg/hour places this unit in the mid-to-high household class, since a higher rate cuts the time needed to treat the same space. Relying on ambient air cooling means there is no separate cooling fan adding noise or needing maintenance.

Who is this unit for?

• Anyone washing large quantities of vegetables and fruit weekly.
• Anyone dealing with odours lingering in the kitchen or in cupboards.
• Aquarium owners who manage water treatment themselves.
• Anyone who prefers treatment without adding chemicals to water.
• Anyone wanting a portable unit that moves between rooms.

How to use

Connect the unit to the power supply, fit the hose to the gas outlet, then submerge the hose end in water when treating vegetables and fruit, or leave it free when treating air. When treating air, clear the room of people and animals for the whole run time, then open the windows afterwards and leave the room for a period before entering, since ozone breaks back down into oxygen over time.

Frequently asked questions

What does a 1000 mg/hour rate mean?

The figure states how much ozone gas the unit produces across one hour of continuous running. The higher the rate, the less time is needed to treat the same space or the same volume of water.

Can the unit run while the room is occupied?

When treating air, the room is cleared of people, animals and plants for the entire run time. Afterwards the windows are opened and the room left for long enough, since ozone reverts to oxygen over time.

How does ozone differ from ordinary oxygen?

Ordinary oxygen is a two-atom molecule with the formula O2, while ozone is a three-atom molecule with the formula O3. That third weakly bound atom is the source of ozone's oxidising character and its short life in air.

Caution

Do not inhale ozone or run the device in occupied rooms; ventilate after use and keep away from children.
