1/ Pure water free of bacteria, viruses, spores, parasites, and chemicals. Wonderful for drinking, or using in pools and hot tubs.

2/ If done properly, ozonated water can actually 'hold' ozone for a short period of time. With the proper use of a high purity, high output (medical) ozone generator, and if the ozone is bubbled through the water long enough, this ozonated water can contain significant levels of ozone bonded to the water. This ozonated water, is beyond pure. Full of ozone and oxygen, this ozonated water is used topically as a healing and antibacterial / antifungal agent, on burns, scrapes, bruises, in dentristry, surgery, and many other applications. If you drink this water, you are actually drinking 'ozone'. For the purposes of this page of information, we will call this "Medical Ozone Water".

Most people researching or reading about ozonated water are interested in medical ozone water- ozonating water to the point that it actually contains ozone. However, most web sites on the internet are providing incorrect information on how to prepare this water. Instructions are usually modified to suit the particular ozone generator that a company is trying to sell. Therefore, the information provided is usually wrong. Since we have nothing to sell to you, we are interested in only providing the correct information.

Making Medical Ozone Water requires a longer period of time than usually suggested. A short list of the instructions are as follows:

1/ Use an ozone generator that produces high concentrations of ozone. UV Ozone Generators will allow you to purify water, however the ozone output is so low, that making Medical Ozonated Water is basically impossible. You need to use a high quality Corona Discharge Ozone Generator.

2/ Large bubbles of ozone do not allow proper transfer of the ozone into the water, therefore you must use only small bubbles. To make small bubbles you need a 'bubbler'. Although many companies provide bubbling stones, this is not a good idea. These 'stones' will be slowly destroyed by the ozone, and will impart impurities into the water. Only use ozone resistant bubblers, preferably made from glass.

3/ Ozonate the water in a glass vessel; never use plastic. This ensures that your water remains pure and uncontaminated.

4/ Ozonate the water for a sufficient period of time. Ozonating for 5 minutes as most web sites suggest will do almost nothing. Ozonate each 1/2 quart of water for at least 20 minutes. Therefore if you are ozonating a quart of water you need to ozonate for 40 minutes. One gallon requires 2 hours. These times can be verified by testing the amount of ozone in the water. During this amount of time the water continues to absorb the ozone. Once these times have been reached ozonating for a longer period of time is not required- the water has already absorbed as much ozone as it possibly can.

5/ Use (or drink) the ozonated water within a short period of time after making it. The ozone will degrade back into oxygen, so you need to use the water before this happens. Keeping the water for later is possible by placing it in the refrigerator, however over a period of 24 hours, the water will lose up to 50% of the ozone.

6/ If you have an adjustable ozone generator, ozonate the water at the highest ozone setting possible. It is for this reason that the best ozone generator to use is one that uses cold corona discharge technology. UV Ozone Generators can generate only approximately 1-3 ug/ml, cold plasma usually only 30 ug/ml but sometimes 60 ug/ml, where as cold corona ozone generators generate up to and beyond 100 ug/ml. Ozonating water is one of the few cases where 'more is better'. Water will absorb more ozone at the higher ozone concentrations. At the same time however you do not need to be concerned with having too much ozone in the water, as water is incapable of absorbing so much ozone that it would be harmful. Therefore ozonate away at the highest ozone output you have for the specified amount of time and you will make the best ozonated water for your particular ozone generator. (If you have not yet purchased an ozone generator our recomendation is to purchase a high quality cold corona ozone generator with a long warranty - they will make the best ozonated water).

Summary:
Whether used simply to purify water, or whether highly concentrated highly pure ozone is used for healing and detoxification ozonated water is quite simply wonderful. Proper preparation is essential in order to achieve the benefits you seek. Unfortunately most of the information found on the internet regarding ozonated water is simply not true; most instructions regarding ozone levels necessary to create quality ozonated water and the length of time to actually ozonate the water is most often also not true. Therefore, in the near future, Oxygen Healing Therapies will be posting a series of articles here to provide you with the information you require in order to ensure that you achieve the goals you have in mind for your ozonated water. The internet is full of contradictory information regarding ozonated water - we aim to provide you with simple, clear, and precise information. Stay Tuned.
