Intended Use: Intended Use: The O-Pen® is designed to ensure safer drinking water from taps or
other clear water sources such as rainwater or clear lakes or streams. It does this by infusing the
water with high levels of ozone. Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer available that can be safely
used in water treatment.* Water that is visibly clouded with dirt, silt or algae should be allowed to
settle and/or be filtered. The O-Pen® will render water containing tannins safe to drink. However,
the tannins (“tea” coloring) may remain
Warranty reminder: Please register your product to activate warranties. Go to
www.rovingblue.com/warranty, or call 855-492-8375 with the following information: name, address,
date of purchase, and serial number of the pen. The serial number is engraved on the underside of
the pen clip.
Caution: The O-Pen® was designed for use with clear tap water, clear lake or stream water, or
collected rainwater of unknown safety. Water with debris should be filtered through a cloth or coffee
filter before treatment.
Place water in a treatment container, preferably clear plastic or glass, and examine the water
carefully. Cloudiness in the water could indicate high bacteria levels. While ozone is highly effective
at killing bacteria, the OPen® may not generate enough ozone to kill very high levels of bacteria. If
in doubt, operate the pen repeatedly until there is a distinct smell of ozone. It is not possible to
“over-ozonate” water. However, you can under-dose it. If you cannot smell ozone, the ozone
probably is being used up by contaminants in the water. You may need to operate OPen® many
times until you smell the ozone.
Be Aware: Infectious microbes can be encountered in many ways. Infectious diseases can be
spread through:
Ÿ Foods washed in unsafe water
Ÿ Contact with infected people, animals or objects
Ÿ Unintentional water consumption, such as when brushing teeth, showering or swimming
Opportunities for infection are abundant and virtually everywhere. To avoid microbial infection, one
must take all necessary precautions. Use of a Roving Blue® O-Pen® is an important precaution,
but not the only precaution. The Blue® O-Pen® device does not guarantee that the user will avoid
illness.
Ongoing Care, Cleaning and Storage: When not in use, the O-Pen® should be charged and kept
in its box. If you use the O-Pen® only once or twice a year, charge it at 6-month intervals. Failure
to do so will void your warranty! O-Pen® should not be exposed to temperatures above
140°F/60°C or below -4°F/-20°C. Store O-Pen® in its box with the black dust cover in place. To
clean the unit, wash it with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse, shake dry, and lay out to dry
completely. Replace cap and store.
Periodic Maintenance: Water often contains minerals such as calcium carbonate. Like the
residue in a coffee maker, minerals will slowly accumulate on the electrodes. This will cause the
electrolysis process to slow down. When the production of the ozone appears weak, clean the
electrodes as follows:
Ÿ Prepare a solution of tap water and regular kitchen vinegar at a ratio of 5 parts water to 1 part
vinegar. Alternative: use the cleaner “CLR”, follow the dilution instructions for coffee makers
Ÿ Dip the ozone electrode into this solution for 10 minutes. Do NOT apply power.
Ÿ Stir a few times and remove from solution. Rinse the tip in cool tap water. After cleaning the
electrodes, normal production will resume. Note: Heavy deposits may require several
treatments.
If you follow these instructions, your O-Pen® will provide years of service. Enjoy your new O-Pen,
and welcome to the world of safer water!
