Inside lotus® PRO unit,
oxygen from the air is
safely turned into ozone
then infused into tap
water, creating Aqueous
Ozone.
Aqueous Ozone’s extra
oxygen atom is fatally
attracted to pathogens
& contaminants.
Harmless to people but
deadly to bacteria,
viruses and contami-
nants, the extra oxygen
atom actively detaches
and attacks them.
The ozone turns back into
oxygen. Only pure oxygen
and water remain after
heavy duty cleaning and
sanitizing has taken place.

How does Ozone kill microbes?
Ozone is one of the strongest oxidizers known to man. The strong antimicrobial character of ozone is partially related to its
oxidation-reduction potential (2.07 V), which is higher than that of chlorine (1.36 V). This makes it 50% more powerful
than chlorine and up to 3000 times faster destroying microorganisms. Ozone destroys microorganisms by reacting with
oxidize able cellular components, particularly those containing double bonds, sulfhydryl groups, and phenolic rings.
Therefore, membrane phospholipids, intracellular enzymes, proteins, and genomic material are targeted by ozone; these
reactions result in cell damage and death of microorganisms. Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat
into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA. At higher concentrations, ozone destroys the capsid, or
exterior protein shell by oxidation so DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), or RNA (ribonucleic acid) structures of the
microorganism are affected.
