Sota Water Ozonator

The Water Ozonator by Sota is designed to product a glass of fresh ozone water for drinking, to increase oxygen and give a fresher taste. Independent lab test show the Sota Water Ozonator to "sterilizes drinking water that is heavily contaminated with several different micro organisms." Nova Biologicals, Texas

The Water Ozonator is portable as it operates. The output is 12 volts. Ozone output is greater than 200 mg/Hr.

What the SOTA Instruments Water Ozonator does

We can all benefit from more oxygen. Oxygen makes us feel more alert. As a result of environmental pollution, there is less oxygen in our air and water today. Ozone, freshly added to drinking water, provides a safe and gentle increase in oxygen.

The Water Ozonator can also be used to sterilize water. As nature’s cleanser, ozone purifies our air, soil, and water. Ozone has become a well-known source for sterilizing water systems and bottled water. Laboratory testing using a SOTA unit to sterilize water, proved several virulent pathogens were killed. The Water Ozonator can be a handy item when traveling or camping as it can be operated from a 12-Volt battery.

How to use the Water Ozonator

A glass of drinking water can be freshly ozonated in about three minutes. Simply place the airstone in the water and turn the unit on. You will see bubbles forming as the ozone is released into the water. Ozone dissipates quickly into the air, so the water should be consumed within 20 minutes or capped tightly in a thermos or a glass bottle for later use.

The Water Ozonator has a built-in timer for 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 60 minutes. Select the time required based on the quantity of water.

Precautions should be taken to ensure the unit operates in a well-ventilated area.

Features

The Water Ozonator uses an advanced Corona Discharge method to produce ozone. There are two common methods to generate ozone: a) Corona Discharge and b) Ultraviolet Light (UV). The Corona Discharge method produces a more consistent and higher output of ozone compared to the UV light method. Unless the UV light unit is large enough, it is difficult to ozonate water to the required concentrations. The UV method is not as reliable because the UV bulb deteriorates over time. Although, if using very high-powered (>500mg/Hr) methods of generating ozone, ultraviolet is best, as it does not produce oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

The SOTA Water Ozonator is not considered a very high-powered unit, therefore it does not produce oxides of nitrogen under normal operating conditions. This was confirmed with laboratory testing by Maxxam Analytics Inc in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Check the laboratory tests for the ability of ozone as produced by a SOTA Water Ozonator to kill virulent pathogens in water.

For more detailed instructions, see the Product Manual. Drinking freshly ozonated water can readily be used as part of a busy lifestyle.

The SOTA Water Ozonator has a Fused Quartz Glass ozone chamber.
Ozone resistant materials have been used. The tubing is silicone which is an ozone resistant material.
A high-quality ceramic airstone produces small bubbles to ensure good ozone saturation in water.

Ozone output is commonly rated at mg/hour at a specific litres per minute (LPM) airflow. There are two methods to measure the ozone output: a) Chemical titration, which gives an incorrectly high rating, or b) Ozone-in-Air, which gives the most accurate rating. The SOTA Water Ozonator is rated by the second, more accurate method. It is 200+ mg/hr @ 1.5 LPM airflow. The SOTA unit was tested using a GM Anceros Ozone-in-Air analyzer.

Water sterilization: The unit has a high enough Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP) to meet minimum requirements for water sterilization. The SOTA Water Ozonator produces an ORP of over 1,000 mV. The minimum required is 600 mV so this unit exceeds requirements for water sterilization.

The unit has the option, with the addition of a universal adaptor, to operate from a 12 Volt DC source such as an automobile battery or appropriate solar panel.

The Water Ozonator is CE certified. This is a European standard that indicates an electronic unit conforms to essential safety requirements to operate as a household consumer product.

The Water Ozonator is also RoHS Compliant. This is a European standard that restricts the use of 6 hazardous materials, including lead, in electronic and electrical equipment.

Cautions

    Do not breathe in Ozone directly. In higher concentrations, ozone may damage delicate tissue in the lungs. Always operate the Water Ozonator unit in a well-ventilated area—such as under a stovetop exhaust fan.
    Do not leave the unit unattended while it is on.
    Do not operate the unit without the built-in air pump running. If the air pump is not running, there will be no bubbles coming from the airstone.
    As with all electrical products do not immerse the electrical components in water.
    Unplug the wall adaptor when not in use

Electrical Specifications

Power Requirements
Wall Adaptor
    12 Volts DC @ 1.5 Amps, Centre POSITIVE
      Caution: Exceeding the voltage rating or reverse connection may result in injury or unit failure. This will void the warranty.
