Choosing capacity and LPM for your ozone water machine

Guide: capacity and LPM for an ozone water machine

This article is part of the blog series within our guide on ozone water machines. It explains how to choose capacity and LPM for an ozone water machine or ozone water device used for surface cleaning. We make no claims about odour, hygiene, food or medical effects; in this context ozone water is only intended for cleaning surfaces. It is not intended for consumption or medical use.

Why capacity and LPM matter in daily use

An ozone water machine or ozone water machine delivers a certain number of litres per minute. That LPM value determines how quickly you can treat surfaces. A higher LPM can feel powerful, but the “right” capacity is the one that matches your real peak demand so that your team can work calmly without over-sizing the ozonewater machine.

• Map how many rooms you clean with ozone water each day.
• Consider how many team members use an ozone water machine at the same time.
• Identify peak moments when many surfaces must be cleaned in a short window.

From small rooms to busy locations

For small offices, practices or B&Bs, 1–2 LPM is often sufficient. This allows you to clean tables, desks, touchpoints and sanitary areas without pushing the ozone water machine to its limit. For larger hospitality spaces, supermarkets or sports venues a higher capacity may be more comfortable because there is more surface and faster turnover.

• Small site: compact ozone water machine at 1–2 LPM.
• Medium site: ozonewater device with moderate LPM for several zones.
• Busy site: higher capacity or a second ozonewater machine to cover peaks.

Connections, placement and controls

Beyond LPM, the practical set-up matters. The ozone water machine needs a grounded outlet and a water connection. Choose a location where hoses do not cross walkways and where operators can easily reach the controls. Clear on/off and rinse functions help to keep procedures simple.

• Ensure a grounded power outlet near the installation point.
• Provide a water tap with sufficient pressure and a logical route for hoses.
• Choose an ozone water device with clear indicators and a rinse mode.

Linking capacity to your workflow

Capacity and LPM gain meaning when they fit your daily workflow. Walk through a typical day and mark when surface cleaning with ozone water takes place: opening routines, mid-day touchups and end-of-day cleaning. If you experience strong peaks, a slightly higher LPM can make the day feel calmer. With a steady workload, a compact ozonewater machine is often enough.

Spray onto the cloth for controlled use, or directly onto closed surfaces such as tables, floors or tiles. Workflow: two-cloth method — 1) Lightly mist the surface. 2) Clean in overlapping passes. 3) Dry immediately with cloth B for a streak-free result. Work from cleaner zones to less-clean areas.

Costs and affordability

At roughly €0.0017 per litre you can produce your own cleaning water directly from the tap.

✔️ No expensive bottles or logistics

✔️ Less plastic and storage space

✔️ Chemical-free cleaning approach using water and electricity

✔️ Straightforward workflow for teams

After around 1000 hours or 500,000 litres you should plan roughly €75 in wear parts.
