Clean drinking water is essential for our health and well-being, especially when we’re on the go or in areas with questionable water sources. The Roving Blue O-pen is a revolutionary product that harnesses the power of ozone to purify drinking water, ensuring you can enjoy safe and clean hydration wherever you are. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the Ozo-Pen, its benefits, how it works, and who can benefit from this innovative water purification tool.
The Power of Ozone
The Ozo-Pen utilizes ozone, one of the most potent oxidizers available, to treat water safely and effectively. Ozone has been recognized and approved by the FDA and USDA as a reliable antimicrobial agent for water purification and food processing. What sets ozone apart is its rapid reversion to oxygen, making it not only safe for consumption but also eco-friendly.
Ozone boasts a remarkable pathogen kill rate of over 99.9%, making it an exceptional disinfectant. It can eliminate bacteria, viruses, and various dangerous microorganisms, including giardia and cryptosporidium. Moreover, ozone reduces the formation of disinfection by-products and can break down harmful molecules found in herbicides and pesticides.
Ozone treatment has long been trusted in municipal water treatment plants, water bottling companies, hospitals, and hotels. The Ozo-Pen now brings this powerful purification method to your fingertips.
Who Can Benefit from the Ozo-Pen?
The O-pen was specifically designed with hikers and travelers in mind, and it’s even TSA approved for air travel. It can purify clear surface water like rainwater or river water and tap water from potentially risky sources such as hotel rooms, cruise ships, or foreign restaurants. Beyond outdoor enthusiasts, the Ozo-Pen also finds applications in dental and medical fields.
Additionally, ozonated water generated by the Ozo-Pen can be used for sanitizing surfaces, rinsing vegetables, and disinfecting wounds. It leaves no chemical residue or after-taste, making it a versatile tool for various situations.
How to Use the Ozo-Pen
Using the Ozo-Pen is straightforward, and it operates by infusing water with ozone gas. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Ensure the unit is fully charged.
- Remove the protective cap on the end of the pen.
- Submerge the pen’s tip in a glass or container with up to 16 ounces of clear water, ensuring not to submerge the USB port.
- Press the on/off switch to activate the Ozo-Pen. The LED light will illuminate.
- The pen will produce ozone for a 30-second cycle. Use one cycle for 8 ounces of water or two cycles for 16 ounces. Stir occasionally. Note that the clean smell of ozone indicates effective purification. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER IF YOU CANNOT SMELL THE OZONE.
- Wait at least three minutes to allow the ozone to disinfect the water fully. While ozonated water is safe to drink, some prefer to wait until the ozone scent dissipates.
Shut down the Ozo-Pen by removing it from the water, shaking it to remove excess water, drying it on a clean cloth or napkin, and replacing the cap before storing it.
Maintenance
To maintain the Ozo-Pen’s efficiency, you may need to clean the electrodes periodically. Use a solution of five parts tap water to one part kitchen vinegar to soak the ozone electrode for ten minutes, ensuring the Ozo-Pen is powered off. Rinse it in cool tap water before use.
Limitations
The Ozo-Pen is designed for clear tap water of unknown safety and fresh surface water like collected rainwater. Cloudy or visibly contaminated water may require settling or pre-filtration. Continue using the pen until the ozone scent is present, as there’s no risk of over-ozonating the water.
Conclusion
The Roving Blue Ozo-Pen is a game-changer when it comes to ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water wherever you are. With its portable design, ease of use, and powerful ozone-based purification method, it’s a must-have tool for travelers, hikers, and anyone who values clean and healthy hydration. Say goodbye to concerns about water quality, and say hello to the Ozo-Pen’s peace of mind.
