Water ozonizers: what are they for and how to use them?

An irrational and negligent attitude towards natural resources has led to a decrease in their environmental safety. There are practically no places left on the planet where one could breathe in clean air or drink tasty and healthy spring water. Even the rise of water from the very depths of the earth does not give complete confidence in its safety.

These problems have forced scientists from around the world to work to improve the safety of used water resources., the quality of which has a direct impact on human health. In the process of long and painstaking work, experts have created a unique device - a water ozonizer, which helps to make water as safe as possible for consumption.

Ozonation is a modern method of purifying and disinfecting water resources. The main active ingredient of this technology is ozone, which acts as an effective oxidizing agent, as well as an allotropic modification of oxygen. A distinctive feature of the substance is a blue tint and a complete absence of odor. In small quantities, this element is absolutely safe, but if a large amount of ozone enters the body, burns may occur. It was the properties and actions of this substance that formed the basis of such a device as an ozonizer for cleaning water from wells.

Ozone, reacting with water, has a detrimental effect on all viruses, microbes and pathogenic microorganisms, and all hazardous chemical compounds simply precipitate and are subsequently removed using mechanical filtration units. This method resembles the sterilization process. After contact with water, ozone itself passes into the state of oxygen, while retaining its original characteristics - color and complete absence of odor.

Laboratory studies have shown that ozonation of water purifies it from Mn, Fe, Cl, F, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogenous compounds, as well as from surface active substances and carbon compounds. Water treated with ozone has not only a positive effect on the general condition of the body, but also helps in the treatment of the following diseases:

• chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract;
• allergic rashes;
• diabetes;
• anemia and low hemoglobin levels;
• diseases of the digestive system;
• inflammation of the pancreas and gallbladder;
• autoimmune disorders;
• constant fatigue syndrome, drowsiness and depression;
• increased acidity of the stomach;
• inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes;
• diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Long-term laboratory studies have revealed a significant improvement in metabolism in people who constantly use ozonized water. At the same time, the cells of the body are enriched with oxygen, and the organs are cleared of various toxic substances and toxins.

In everyday life, ozonized water has found a wide range of applications:

• washing and disinfection of vegetables and fruits;
• processing of meat, fish and eggs;
• cleaning and disinfection of the refrigerator;
• hygiene procedures;
• cooking food;
• bathing pets;
• processing of all kitchen work surfaces;
• washing floors;
• disinfection of children's toys.

Water ozonizers are popular not only for the purification of drinking water, but also for the disinfection of industrial water for the pool. The main advantages of using ozonized water for the pool are the absence of an unpleasant smell of chlorine, absence of allergic skin rashes, complete absence of pathogenic microorganisms. The negative sides of water filtration for the pool are the need to purchase powerful equipment, a high price range, the need for strict adherence to safety regulations.

In order to understand the principle of operation of ozonation plants, it is necessary to carefully study the design of this device, which consists of the following elements:

• ozone generator - a device that produces ozone from unprepared air;
• ejector - a device that enriches water with ozone;
• pump - a mechanism involved in the supply of water;
• filters - purification plants;
• destructor - a device that converts ozone into oxygen;
• automatic control system - a system of general control over the operation of the installation;
• pipeline - pipes and valves.

The device works according to the following scheme:

• Ozone supply by means of a generator from ambient air;
• gravity supply of ozone to purified water;
• disinfection of liquids by oxidation of organic and inorganic impurities;
• passage of water through filtration units with activated carbon, where catalytic additional oxidation of ozonolysis products, conversion of ozone into oxygen, and retention of sedimentary oxidation products take place.

This installation has features in the use of activated carbon, which does not act as a sorbent, but as a catalyst with an unlimited service life. The generator requires two components - unprepared atmospheric air and electrical energy.

The principle of operation of the device consists in setting the required time for operation and start-up of the system by pressing the start button. After that, starting the system supplies current to the generator from the power source and ozone begins to form. Fans throw exhaust gas into the room, and the generator processes the next portion of air. The device will turn off automatically after the set operating time has elapsed.

Like any filtration unit, a water ozonizer has a number of positive and negative sides.

Advantages:

• maximum disinfection and sterilization of water;
• fast cleaning speed;
• removal of a specific smell and unpleasant taste;
• no negative impact on the composition and structure of the liquid;
• oxygen enrichment of water;
• ease of use.

Disadvantages:

• inability to remove phenol compounds;
• short-term positive effect and impossibility of long-term storage;
• impossibility of consumption immediately after filtration;
• installation of the system only in well-ventilated rooms;
• high price range;
• the need to carry out several stages of purification of very polluted water;
• strict adherence to operating and safety rules.

Innovative technologies and modern equipment have allowed manufacturers to produce several types of devices for air ozonization:

• industrial - installations designed for the disinfection of sewage fluids and pool water;
• medical - equipment that is used to disinfect and enhance the effect of drugs;
• household - devices for home use that help purify running water in the house.

On the shelves of specialized stores, you can see a wide range of water ozonizers. Popular brands include ClearWater, Rottinger, BWT and ProZone.

Among the most popular devices that purify water using ozone, the following models can be distinguished.

• "Storm" - a multifunctional device with which you can ozonize not only water, but also air. The manufacturer has attached a detailed instruction manual for its product to the device. Advantages - simple control system, reliability, durability.
• Altai - a popular model that can be used to disinfect water, air, home textiles. The device is indispensable if there are pets and an aquarium in the house.
• "Tyanshi" - a unique development of Japanese scientists, which minimizes the likelihood of cancer.

To ozonize drinking water at home, you need to purchase a special device - an ozonizer. This device has a very high cost, and its operation must be under constant control and strict adherence to safety measures.

The period of operation of the unit in a well-ventilated area should not exceed 30 minutes. To obtain high-quality water, it is necessary to regularly change the carbon cartridges. It takes about 25 minutes to get 10 liters of clean filtered water at home. Collection of liquid should be carried out in glass containers, but it is better to refuse from plastic and metal.

During the operation of the ozonizer, it is necessary to follow the instructions and pay special attention to safety precautions. Violation of the rules for using the device can provoke gas poisoning. To prevent this situation, ozonizers should be installed only in rooms with a working forced ventilation system. At the time of water purification, children and patients with chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract are strictly prohibited near the installation.

The first signs of poisoning:

• labored breathing;
• the appearance of chest pain;
• the appearance of cramps in the eyes and cough;
• feeling short of breath;
• Strong headache.

The unfavorable environmental situation in the world has provoked the appearance of a huge number of diseases in people. Scientists from around the world have proven that most pathologies are caused by eating foods with a high content of harmful impurities and dangerous bacteria.

In recent years, unusual devices have appeared on the shelves of stores with household appliances - water ozonizers. These devices make it possible to filter the used water as much as possible and remove all dangerous microelements from it. Before you go shopping, you need to carefully study the properties and parameters of the selected device, as well as customer reviews about it.
