Ozone water machine costs and savings explained

Costs and savings of an ozone water machine

This article is part of the blog series within our guide on ozone water machines. The guide offers a complete overview of selection, costs, maintenance, workflow and safe use. Here we focus on the cost structure and savings of an ozone water machine or ozone water device for surface cleaning. Use ozone water strictly for cleaning surfaces; it is not intended for consumption or medical applications.

How to look at costs of an ozone water device

The costs of an ozone water device can be broken into three parts: purchase, daily operation and maintenance. By looking at each component separately you get a clearer picture than only comparing the purchase price of an ozone water machine. For many locations the key question is: what does it cost per liter and what can we save on bottles, storage and ordering work?

• Purchase: the one-time investment in the ozone water machine or compact unit.
• Daily operation: energy and water consumption for producing ozone water.
• Maintenance: periodic replacement of wear parts and system checks.

This structure allows you to map total costs and compare them to your current cleaning products.

Indicative cost per liter of cleaning water

One helpful metric is cost per liter. An ozone water machine or ozone water device uses tap water and a modest amount of energy, while traditional products require bottles, labels, storage space and transport. When you divide all costs by the number of liters produced per year, you get a transparent benchmark.

• Indicative cost level: roughly €0.0017 per liter of cleaning water.
• A full bucket costs about one cent in production value.
• You save on bottles, storage and packaging flows.

Treat this as a guideline rather than a guarantee; real costs depend on usage intensity, energy prices and service agreements.

Where do savings compared to traditional products come from?

Savings are not only in product prices. When switching to an ozone water device several hidden cost items shrink or disappear, such as ordering work, warehouse space and internal logistics. Teams often work from a single on-demand source of cleaning water instead of managing multiple products.

• Less space needed for bottles and canisters.
• Fewer order cycles and administrative steps.
• No separate product stock per room or area.

A well-dimensioned ozone water machine can therefore reduce costs while simplifying daily routines for the cleaning team.

Maintenance costs: part of the savings story

Maintenance is part of every technical system and should be built into the cost picture from day one. Think of filters, hoses and other wear parts that need to be replaced over time. Consistent use makes it easier to plan maintenance windows and budget for them.

• Plan regular inspections of hoses, fittings and filters.
• Track run hours of the ozone water machine in a simple log.
• Reserve a budget for wear parts, for example around €75 after extensive use.

By treating these items as fixed components of your budget, the liter cost of your ozone water machine stays transparent and predictable.

From cost overview to practical business case

A strong business case combines numbers with day-to-day reality. Combine the calculated liter cost of your ozone water device with time savings and simplified processes. Less inventory management, fewer product choices and a fixed workflow often create noticeable calm within the team.

• Map your current product usage and daily liters.
• Compare it with the liter cost of ozone water from the machine.
• Include time savings and lower storage needs in your final conclusion.

This shows whether an ozone water machine fits your location and what budget aligns with that decision.
