How Ozone Kills Pathogens

Ozone kills pathogens by destroying the cell wall. Pathogens cannot develop resistance to ozone as they can to antibiotics, so there is no danger of developing superbugs through the use of ozone.

Bacteria exist on surfaces, and water coats the surfaces carrying the ozone to the pathogen colonies. Since grease and oils can coat a surface and protect pathogens from ozone, degreasing agents may be needed to prepare a surface for disinfection, but ozone is the only sanitizer you will need.

Ozone Compared with other Sanitizers

Ozone is the strongest disinfectant available, and is more than 3100 times faster than chlorine in killing bacteria.

No harmful by-products are produced by ozone disinfection. In contrast, chlorine disinfection creates carcinogenic by-products.

Ozone dissolved in water completely reverts to regular oxygen within 20 minutes, so there is no residue. For this reason, disinfection must always be accomplished with ozonated water fresh from the tap.

Ozone dissolved in water is completely safe and rinsing your hands in ozonated water will sanitize better than using any chemicals or soap and water.

Ozone is created instantly by the Eco-Safe Disinfection System, so there are no more chemical sanitizers to buy.

Ozone also works best in cold water, reducing energy costs for heating water.

Ozone Eliminates Odors

Odors are created by bacteria, and ozone eliminates bacteria instantly on contact, so animal areas can smell fresh without harsh chemicals for the first time in years.

Automatic Operation

As soon as a cold water tap connected to the Eco-Safe Disinfection System is turned on, ozone is generated immediately, providing the best disinfection possible. When the water is turned off, the ozone system automatically shuts down. As long as the Ozone Disinfection System is powered, operation is completely automatic.
