Switching to your own ozone water production: practical guide
This guide explains how to safely switch to on-demand ozone water production for surface cleaning, instead of relying on bottled products.
Thinking about switching to your own ozone water production? Learn how to move from bottles to on‑demand ozone water from a machine in a safe, BPR-compliant way.

Switching to your own ozone water production: practical guide
With your own ozone water production you generate on-demand cleaning water for surface cleaning, instead of relying on bottles and concentrates. Our ozone water from the ozone water machine is intended only for surface cleaning. It is not intended for consumption or medical applications.
Why ready-made ozone water is not an option
In practice, ready-made ozone water does not exist. Its activity declines within about 15 to 30 minutes, so prefilled ozone water loses most of its effect during transport and storage. That is why organisations work with an ozone water machine that produces on site. If you want to understand the basics first, read What is ozone water? and the explanation of the ozone water machine. You can explore more use cases in our guides or contact us to discuss your site.
What you need for your own ozone water production
The core is an installation that converts tap water to ozone water. Depending on your building you choose a compact unit at a sink, a central machine with multiple tap points or a mobile solution. A stable water and power connection and clear work agreements are essential. The practical workflow follows the two-cloth method: spray, clean, dry. Adding this method to your SOP keeps application clear for both new and experienced staff.
Step-by-step transition
A controlled transition starts small and then grows. The steps below help you move to your own ozone water production in a structured way.
- Map current products, volumes and surfaces per building or department.
- Select pilot zones where ozone water can replace most daily surface cleaning.
- Install tap points, define walking routes and train staff in the two-cloth method.
- Evaluate usage, time spent and feedback from the pilot phase and adjust if needed.
- Roll out in phases to other floors or sites using the same core workflow.
Costs and affordability
Ozone water costs around €0.0017 per litre from the tap. You reduce spending on bottles and concentrates, free up storage space and avoid waste from expired products. Internal logistics and admin effort also decrease.
- Transparent consumption per litre of cleaning water.
- Less logistics around pallets, boxes and storage locations.
- Limited maintenance costs: roughly once per 1,000 hours or 500,000 litres for replacement parts.
- No separate rinse products for regular surface cleaning.
