How much does an ozone water system cost?

Putting ozone water system costs into perspective

A professional ozone water system is more than a single product. It is a complete way to produce fresh ozone water on-site and replace a large part of your traditional chemicals, logistics and storage. Our ozone water from the ozone water system is only intended for surface cleaning. It is not intended for consumption or medical applications. When you look at costs, it therefore makes sense to focus on total cost of ownership over several years, not just the purchase price.

From bottles and drums to on-demand production

Without an ozone water system, you typically work with bottles, drums and concentrates that need to be ordered, delivered and stored. With an ozone water system you produce on-demand ozone water at the location where you clean. Because ozone water has a half-life of roughly 15–30 minutes, this on-site production is also the reason why ready-made ozone water as a stock product is rarely practical.

If you first want to understand the basics, have a look at What is ozone water? and the product page of our ozone water system.

Key factors that influence pricing

The cost of an ozone water system depends on several factors:

• the type and size of the installation (compact unit or central system);
• the average volume of ozone water you need per day;
• options such as multiple tapping points or integration with existing infrastructure;
• service and maintenance arrangements.

Using ozone water is cost saving, because you reduce spending on conventional products and simplify your internal logistics. In our hub buying ozone water or producing it on-site you can see how these costs compare to staying with classic chemicals.

Purchase, lease or subscription

Many organisations prefer to start in a low-threshold way. Typical options include:

• direct purchase: you invest once and depreciate the system over several years;
• lease: you pay a fixed monthly fee including service and maintenance;
• all-in subscription: you pay per month for use, service and support.

The best option depends on your organisation and how predictable you want your monthly costs to be. Our guide switching to ozone water in practice explores typical scenarios.

Cost per litre of ozone water

The cost per litre of ozone water mainly consists of water and energy, plus a fraction of your system investment or lease. Because you generate ozone water on-site, you largely eliminate transport and packaging costs, which keeps the effective cost per litre low compared to many bottled products.

• no pallets with bottles in storage;
• fewer waste streams and less plastic packaging;
• less staff time spent managing deliveries and stock.

Efficient cleaning with the two-cloth method

To get the most from your investment, it is important that staff use ozone water efficiently. In daily practice the two-cloth method works best: one cloth to apply and loosen soils, a second cloth to remove moisture and residues.

• Cloth 1: dampen with fresh ozone water and wipe the surface thoroughly.
• Cloth 2: use a dry or slightly damp cloth to pick up remaining moisture.

You can find a detailed step-by-step description in our guide on the two-cloth method.

When does an ozone water system pay back?

Payback time depends on your current chemical spend, number of sites and cleaning frequency. As a rule of thumb: the more litres of cleaning water you use, the faster an ozone water system pays for itself. Our article difference buying ozone water vs producing on-site helps you compare scenarios.
