How does ozone work?
Ozone is made artificially by passing oxygen through ultraviolet light or a "cold" electrical discharge which causes oxygen molecules (02) to split apart in a process called photolysis. Ozone is a triatomic molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms, which occurs naturally in the stratosphere and benefits both plants and animals by preventing damaging ultraviolet light from reaching the Earth's surface. When one of the freed atoms collides with another O2 molecule, it joins up forming ozone (O3). Ozone readily gives up one atom of oxygen resulting in a powerful oxidizing agent that is toxic to most waterborne organisms and decays to ordinary oxygen in less than an hour in atmospheric conditions. Ozone is also a very strong, broad-spectrum disinfectant that is an effective method to inactivate harmful protozoa and also works well against almost all other pathogens. Ozone is used by many municipal drinking water systems to kill bacteria instead of the more common chlorine. Ozonization is a preferred solution of killing microorganisms in water because it leaves no residue in the water after treatment and has the additional advantages of high oxidant potential, fewer dangerous by-products, and the absence of taste and odor problems associated with chlorination. To use ozone as a disinfectant, it must be created on-site and added to the water by bubble contact. Ozone has many other industrial and consumer oxidation.

Primary Advantages to Ozone
The main purpose of the Ozone Generator is to sterilize and detoxify food which allows the elimination of bacteria and germs to be removed from your food. The generator's operation period is adjustable based upon your requirements.
