Frequently Asked Questions About Ozone Generators

Ozone is a natural molecule found in the atmosphere, thunderstorms, and even the human body. O3 stands for the chemical makeup: 3 oxygen molecules combined to form ozone.

You may have heard of the ozone layer, an atmospheric layer which protects the earth from UV radiation.

Ozone is also created during thunderstorms, giving us that fresh clean smell after. Ozone is naturally found in the human body. Although ozone is good and needed, there are large misconceptions about it.

Some individuals interpret ozone as a pollutant. Ozone gets a bad reputation because of smog. However, this would be referring to tropospheric ozone, not laboratory grade (made by our ozone generators) or stratospheric ozone.

Scientists needed an easy, inexpensive way to measure smog, so they picked ozone. Ozone is the measuring stick for the pollutants: hydrocarbons, peroxidized hydrocarbons, and nitrates.

Ozone is nature’s way to reduce smog and can be harmful in large doses, especially when combined with all the other elements of smog. Laboratory grade ozone, on the other hand, has a number of benefits.

Although ozone can be mislabeled as negative, it is useful and beneficial. Due to ozone’s ability to purify and oxidize, it is used in water purification, sanitation, and industrial applications.

Municipalities use ozone to eradicate harmful bacteria and chemicals in water, producing a safe, drinkable water. Even the pools in the Sydney Olympics had been purified by ozone.

Hospitals, hotels, casinos, and car dealerships use ozone for air purification, sterilization, and odor elimination.

Simply O3 uses 100% ozone resistant components in all ozone devices. The components we use have been declared as 100% ozone resistant by Cole Parmer, Ozone Solutions, and the CE Federation.

This chart is recognized worldwide and is even recognized by C.E. standards.

So why is this important?

If an ozone device uses non-resistant materials, they could be emitting unwanted chemicals.

All of Simply O3's devices use materials that has no effect on these materials. They will last indefinitely.

We use cold corona discharge single dialectic in our ozone generators.

Why did we choose cold corona discharge single dialectic?

Because it is safe and effective. Cold corona discharge allows more accuracy of the device while outputting concentrations we need.

The Stratus 3.0 is built for the home user. It is small, portable, economical, and easy to use, with output from 5 to 75 ug/mL across 11 precision settings.

The Cumulus is our professional unit, built for higher volume and business use, with a wider output range.

Most home users start with a Complete Kit, which includes the generator, an oxygen regulator, and the accessories you need to get started. You supply the oxygen tank, which you can fill at a local dealer to save time and money.

YES - Simply O3 offers guarantees!

Every ozone generator and regulator includes a 6 month money back guarantee.

If for any reason you decide to return the ozone generator within 6 months, ask us for an RMA, ship it back, and we will process the refund.

This allows you to make a confident purchase without taking a big risk. The guarantee applies to the Stratus 3.0, Cumulus, and our oxygen regulators.

***Orders over $9,000USD will be subject to a 25% restocking fee two weeks after the date of the purchase. No returns allowed after 6 months.

The Stratus 3.0 and Cumulus ozone generators and our oxygen regulators carry a LIFETIME warranty. Our other generators, including the Ozonette, home laundry, commercial laundry, and hot tub units, carry a 2 year warranty.

Ozone oils and accessories do not carry a warranty but can be exchanged or credited in the case of a defect.

Full details are on our returns and warranty page.

Orders placed before 3PM Eastern on a business day usually ship the same day. Standard domestic shipping is UPS Ground and takes up to 7 business days after leaving our facility. Glyzine and other made-to-order products ship within 2 business days of production.

1. Parts Per Million (ppm) - This is the most common method. So if we were to have 1 ppm that would mean that for every million parts of gas, one of those would be ozone. (Note: ppb = parts per billion)
2. Milligrams (mg/l) or Micrograms (ug/ml) of ozone per liter - Indicates milligrams/micrograms of ozone in one liter of total volume (gas or liquid). This is the measurement we use for our devices.

1. Grams of ozone per hour (g/hr) - Ozone output for a generator. We can measure the concentration of ozone in g/m(cubed), then when we calculate for flow rate with a measurement such as LPM (liters per minute), we can determine how many grams of ozone are produced in one hour of time.
2. Milligrams of ozone per hour (mg/hr) - Same as grams but a smaller measurement.
3. Gamma - A gamma is another term for mg/l (milligram per liter). It is a measurement of the concentration of the ozone. Therefore, 1 gamma = 1 mg/l.
