KNOWLEDGE BASE

Norovirus has been a much publicised problem due to how highly contagious it is, especially in busy and warm environments, such as hospitals and nursing homes. It leaves the sufferer feeling extremely unwell for 24-60 hours with projectile vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches, stomach cramps, fever and muscle pain.

Ozone consists of three adjoined oxygen atoms, and is therefore referred to as O3, in the same way that oxygen (O2) consists of two oxygen atoms. Ozone is not very prominent in our atmosphere yet it plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. It is invisible although when concentrated enough it takes on a blue tinge.

Yes. Currently there are no known odours that ozone won’t help to dissipate. If you come across an odour that is proving particularly difficult to remove, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Ozone's unique ability lies not only in its extraordinary strong sterilizing power but also in the way it is structured as a gas.

The ozone generators you can import from other countries, such as China, may not be as stringently tested as products sold here in the UK.

The noise you may notice is the fan(s), the only moving parts in an ozone generator. Their job is to suck oxygen in to create the ozone, and to help propel the ozone as high as possible. Because ozone is heavier than air, it needs to reach a decent height in order for it to be effective at removing pollutants in the air.

Air fresheners are used to temporarily mask the odours of everyday life. They don’t remove the smell, merely cover it up.They also need refills, costing money every time they run out.

Ozone was first officially discovered in 1839/40, however in 1785 ozone was first noticed when a scientist called Van Marum carried out experiments into electrolysis.

The only differences between ozone formed in the ozone layer and ozone formed in one of our ozone generators is the location, how the ozone is produced and lifespan.

In order to maintain a constant level of clean air, it is important to run an ozone generator on a regular basis. Simply implement it into your existing cleaning procedures to cause as little disturbance to your day as possible.
