Choosing an ozone water machine or device: complete guide
Buy an ozone water machine or device: explanation & guide
This guide helps you choose an ozone water machine or ozone water device for safe surface cleaning. In this guide you will find a complete blog series about ozone water machines and devices, so you can make step-by-step decisions without unclear claims. We use ozone water strictly for cleaning surfaces; it is not intended for consumption or medical applications.
What an ozone water machine does — and what it doesn’t
An ozone water machine briefly enriches tap water with ozone and delivers cleaning water that you use immediately on closed surfaces such as tables, worktops, floors, tiles and touchpoints. Keep usage claim-safe: we make no odor, hygiene, food or medical claims. Avoid open food and sensitive materials and always follow the supplier’s manual and safety guidelines.
Use ozone water only for surface cleaning. Communicate this clearly to your team so everyone shares the same expectations. In a separate deep-dive blog within this guide we look specifically at safe use and training around ozone water devices.
Selection criteria: capacity, hookups and controls
Before you select an ozone water device, start with required capacity. Small offices or treatment rooms often manage with one to two liters per minute, while larger kitchens or production zones need more flow. Consider peak demand: how many team members use the system at once, how many draw-off points you have and how long each cleaning round takes.
Connections and placement matter as well. Is there a grounded outlet nearby and a water tap within reach? Do you prefer a wall-mounted ozone water machine or a mobile unit? In the blog series within this guide you will find a dedicated article on capacity and selection criteria so you can compare specifications calmly.
Ease of use, service and maintenance
Beyond technical specs you want intuitive operation. Clear buttons, simple icons and a separate rinse mode make routines predictable for everyone in the team. Plan from the start how you will handle maintenance: log run hours, replace filters in time and keep a small set of wear parts in stock. A dedicated deep-dive blog within this guide describes which maintenance patterns work for different usage levels.
Workflow with the two-cloth method
The practical workflow around your ozone water device is built on the two-cloth method. You apply a light mist to the surface or directly onto cloth A, clean in overlapping passes and immediately dry with cloth B. Work from cleaner to less-clean areas: touchpoints and worktops first, then floors and wet rooms. Our separate guide to the two-cloth method walks through each step in detail.
Costs and affordability
One of the main advantages of an ozone water machine is the low cost per liter. You produce cleaning water on demand from the tap and reduce bottles, storage and transport. As a guideline, per-liter costs remain low and wear parts form a modest expense after many hours of use. In a separate deep-dive blog within this guide we calculate example scenarios so you can assess the business case for your site.
You reduce disposable bottles, free up storage space and always have cleaning water available. As a result, an ozone water device can be both practical and financially attractive over a few years of use.
