When buying an ozone generator, one of the most common and most important questions, is "What size ozone generator is the right size for my application?"  This is actually quite a good question.  This is more complicated by the actual reality that there are various situations where ozone might be applied.

The idea of shock ozone is the white whale of ozone treatments.  While many ozone generators claim to create ozone shock, this process is not easily accomplished and has its potential risks.  The National Ozone Association has determined that ozone shock is 10-12 oom or more of ozone saturation.  

With a high level of interest in sanitizing, we are getting a lot of calls about sanitizing with ozone.  To start, ozone is a reliable method of sanitizing, odor removal, and killing mold; but it should be done with a measure of professionalism.

COVID-19 is another form of the coronavirus that has threatened our world nine times before.  This has caused a renewed interest in ozone as a sanitizing and disinfecting process.  Ozone has been used in commercial and medical applications to kill all types of pathogens.  Even your dentist may be using medical-grade ozone to treat plaque and disease in your gums and treat.

With the intense interest in infectious diseases, people are looking for answers.  Sanitizing and disinfection methods are being extensively explored.  One effective method is ozone treatment of buildings.

No matter how much you sanitize, you are always one infected person away from spreading an infectious disease to hundreds of other people.  This has been true for centuries, but we are now in an era where we can actually change the traditional cleaning process that has evolved, but has not risen to the challenge.

I am routinely asked about chlorine dioxide (CLo2) compared to ozone.  So, let me take a stab at some of the comparisons and differences that I see as someone who has used both for various jobs.

The concept of an ozone sanitizing chamber is pretty simple, but there are some important basics to the process.  By following these critical elements, it is possible to scale from a small container to a large room depending on the cubic feet required for your needs.

The shortfall of surgical masks is a terrible fact.  It shows that no one was ready for the COVID-19.  The world cannot prepare for such an event.  There are just too many potential risks in the world to solve them all before and IF they threaten our shore.  

The coronavirus caught everyone mostly unprepared and fighting to catch up to the infectious threats.  And, there is an important lesson for every business and home.  We can wait for the disease to hit and take action after the problem is already infecting people (reactive response).  Or, we can be proactive by adding a new and important dimension to the cleaning program.
