Need help?Do you have a question about the Roving Blue OZO-Pod 10 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Roving Blue® OZO-Pod™ 10 is a compact and efficient device designed to purify water and sanitize food and objects using dissolved ozone gas. This user-friendly unit leverages the powerful oxidizing properties of ozone, a method widely recognized and utilized in various water treatment applications, from municipal plants to hospitals. The device is specifically engineered to infuse water with high levels of dissolved ozone, effectively disinfecting it without the need for filters.
The primary function of the OZO-Pod™ 10 is to provide safe drinking water from various clear sources, including tap water, rainwater, and clear streams. It achieves this by generating ozone gas and dissolving it into the water. Ozone acts as a potent antimicrobial agent, effectively reducing pathogens like giardia and cryptosporidium, as well as addressing issues such as iron and manganese reduction, hydrogen sulfide removal, and taste and odor reduction. Furthermore, it can help reduce the formation of disinfection by-products like trihalomethanes and halo acetic acids. The device is not a filter; therefore, water that is visibly cloudy with dirt, silt, or algae should be pre-filtered or allowed to settle before treatment. While it makes water safe to drink, it may not remove the "tea" coloring caused by tannins.
Beyond water purification, the OZO-Pod™ 10 is also suitable for sanitizing foods and objects. By submerging items in ozonated water, users can effectively clean produce, kitchen utensils, or other items, benefiting from ozone's broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. The FDA has approved ozone for use on food contact areas and directly on food, underscoring its safety and effectiveness in these applications.
Operating the OZO-Pod™ 10 is straightforward and designed for ease of use. To begin, users simply ensure the unit's "On/Off" switch is in the off position before plugging the cord into a GFCI-protected outlet, typically found in kitchens or bathrooms. A sink or bowl should then be filled with enough water to submerge the items to be cleaned or the water to be purified. Once ready, pressing the "On" button activates the device.
Upon activation, the OZO-Pod™ 10 quickly begins emitting a cloud of ozone gas into the water. Users will typically notice a distinct, clean smell of ozone, often compared to the scent in the air after a thunderstorm. For optimal distribution of ozone, it is recommended to stir the water with a hand or implement during the treatment process. A treatment time of 3 to 5 minutes is generally sufficient for purifying 10 liters (approximately 2.3 gallons) of water, though this may vary depending on the water volume. For precise ozone concentration, an ozone test kit is available separately.
When purifying water for consumption, it is advised to wait at least 5 minutes after treatment before drinking, allowing sufficient time for the ozone to effectively kill microbes. For sanitizing foods or objects, these items should be submerged immediately after the device is activated and allowed to soak for at least 5 minutes. If items float, a plate can be used to hold them down. Ozone rapidly reverts to oxygen, so the treated water should ideally be used for cleaning within about 15 minutes to maximize its effectiveness.
The OZO-Pod™ 10 offers flexibility in its operation. There is no risk of "over ozonating" the water, as ozone will begin to exit the water once it reaches saturation. If a strong ozone smell is detected, users can simply turn the unit off. Once powered off, the ozone will quickly revert to oxygen, and the smell will dissipate. This feature ensures both safety and efficiency in use.
The OZO-Pod™ 10 is designed for minimal maintenance, with no user-serviceable parts. It is crucial not to expose or tamper with internal components, as doing so will void the warranty. The device is built for durability and reliable performance without requiring complex upkeep.
After each use, maintenance is simple. Users should remove the OZO-Pod™ 10 from the water, give it a gentle shake to remove any excess water, and then allow it to air dry on a clean cloth. Once completely dry, the unit can be stored with other kitchen appliances in a clean, dry place. This straightforward cleaning and storage routine helps ensure the longevity and continued optimal performance of the device.
