Getting Clean Water With The Ozone Sanitizing Devices

By Lisa Clark


Different ozone (O3 generators have different optimal gas feeds. Some generators work best with pure oxygen, other require some nitrogen being present (1-4%). Other generators work from dry air. In all cases, the gas feed must be extremely dry. This is normally measured as the dew point of the air, the temperature at which water in the air will condense. For ozone sanitizing devices this value is typically around -100 degrees F. This means that there are only a few parts per million of moisture in the gas stream.

Commercial scale O3 generator cannot tolerate water entering the generator without having severe damage. The potential for backflow exists since the gas must flow from the generator into the water, so there is a pathway for water to backflow into the generator. This is compounded because O3 can be injected, via a venturi, into water that is at a higher pressure than that inside of the O3 generator. If there is a problem with the operation of the venturi or some change in the downstream hydraulics, water can be forced into the generator.

There are answers and options. If you are like many people you have watched the steady decline of good jobs leaving the western world. Debt is on the increase, unemployment is on the rise, and the real numbers are far more staggering than the government admits to; official figures only reflect those receiving unemployment benefits not the actual numbers of non-working adults. What is worse is that the dispossessed workers, who are often sincere in their attempts to try to find, a solution or a new job; discover they are "overqualified" or the positions for which they are qualified no longer exist!

With well-engineered, well-designed systems based on a real-world analysis of your OPL operation, O3 laundry can deliver savings and excellent linen outcomes. The O3 system that you need is one that is exactly matched to your OPL. When you have it, you will believe in the O3 promise.

The only problem is that ozonators wear out. Most ozonators (either corona discharge or ultraviolet) last only about 9,000 hours of run time. When they finally fail, typically after about 3 years of operation, their sanitizing power is lost. At that point, the water is only being cleaned by the chemicals put into it, and a game of 'maintain that water' begins.

When dealing with indoor air though things become a little bit more complicated. In indoor environments, air can become stagnant and is not subjected to nature's normal cleansing mechanisms which are primarily UV light or direct sunlight, and O3 which is produced when sunlight in the right frequencies reacts with moisture in the air and releases O3. Indoors this does not happen.

Professional mold cleanup can be expensive. Remember for any mold removal project to be made permanent you must remove the source of the water which is also expensive. If you find the costs are too high, to solve the water problem and to remediate the mold, using an O3 machine periodically has been a solution for many homeowners.

Before deciding on a sanitizing method for your spa you should consult with the manufactures' recommendations and test the chemical balance of your hot tub to determine appropriate action. Regardless of your application there is a sanitizer for your spa. We've given you an overview of the most commonly utilized methods and applications and hope you have found it informational.
