FAQs

What does Ozone actually do?

Ozone has literally thousands of uses. However it is most commonly used for drinking water disinfection, disinfection of packaging (ie. bottles before filling), and de-odourisation of hotel rooms, smoking areas, and refuse areas.

How is Ozone made?

Ozone (O3) is made by splitting an Oxygen (O2) molecule and re-combining the atoms as an odd number. This can be done in two ways.

  1. Using a high voltage discharge, commonly referred to as Corona Discharge. Think of it as making lightning in a box.
  2. Using Ultra Violet light at a particular frequency.

We get manufacturing done for both types of ozone generators. As a rule, Plasma is better for Occupied spacing and Ultraviolet is better for Unoccupied spaces.

Is Ozone safe?

In low concentrations (<0.2ppm) ozone is not harmful. In high concentrations, ozone can be very harmful.
Our products are designed with 
Health and Safety in mind, so as to ensure that users are not exposed to high levels of ozone. Our industrial systems feature ambient ozone detectors, which will switch off the system if high levels are measured. All our machines will come with timers to prevent over production where needed.

Do you use your own technology?

Our ozone generators are designed and manufactured by Wassertec in their Cape Town factory, Biozone in their Johannesburg factory. Our products feature proprietary technology in terms of ozone generation, oxygen generation, PLC ozone operating systems, ozone measurement, and control software.

Are your products reliable?

We pride ourselves on the quality and reliability of our ozone products. All our ozone generators are built into custom-designed laser-cut enclosures. Materials used are chosen for their resistance to ozone, mainly stainless steel, alumina ceramic & Teflon. Our electronics have been thoroughly tested for resistance to short circuits and voltage surges. We do not take shortcuts or use inferior materials.

Are your products guaranteed?

Yes, all our products have a 1 year warranty.
