Here’s something you didn’t know—lab tests have proven that aqueous ozone water eliminates 99.9% of common pathogens in just 1 minute. 

 

This is why ozonated water is used in hospitals, commercial kitchens, and meat counters to clean and disinfect equipment and produce. 

Now, you can harness the power of ozone-infused water in your home! Say goodbye to chemical-overloaded cleaning supplies and that ultrasonic thingamajing that cleans your produce. 

• Save money by not buying Clorox wipes and disinfectant sprays 
• Avoid long queues at the grocery store
• Limit chemical use in your home
• Remove pesticides from fruits and vegetables

 

Shield Oâ„¢ turns ordinary tap water into aqueous ozone which helps you disinfect and deodorize everything you wash without any chemical residue or that horrible strong smell.

Want to know what aqueous ozone water smells like? It smells like the air after a thunderstorm.

Are you aware that alcohol-based sanitizers can contribute to dry skin, infections, alcohol poisoning, and release substantial amounts of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), thereby polluting indoor air? With Shield O, these concerns are eliminated.

          Turn Tap Water into Vegetable-Saving Magic: Prolong Freshness with Aqueous Ozone

Shield O was created with your safety in mind. Here are answers to some commonly-asked questions about safety. 

Is ozonated water safe to drink? 

Yes, ozonated water is safe to drink. Some people even claim it has health benefits. However, we do not have research to back up those claims, so we recommend using ozonated water primarily for sanitation purposes.

Is it safe to plug in an electrical device close to a water source? 

According to standard electrical codes, any power outlet installed within 6 feet of a water source should be GFCIs. Please make sure the outlet you use is equipped with GFCI before using this product. 

Does it remove fluoride?

To clarify, Shield O is designed to generate aqueous ozone/activated oxygen water instantly and on demand. This process involves generating and dissolving ozone in water, creating a solution that is safe for human use but deadly to microorganisms. When ozone is dissolved in water, it becomes an effective oxidizer that can break down and inactivate pesticide and organic contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms. However, fluoride is highly stable and negatively charged, and it is not easily removed by oxidation. Therefore, the device is ineffective in removing fluoride from water.

Disclaimer: This device can NOT be used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any disease. Aqueous Ozone has to be generated and used on-site. It can NOT be stored or transported.

 

 

 

When you turn on the faucet, Shield Oâ„¢ works its magic by generating ozone and dissolving it in water. The result is aqueous ozone, which is safe for humans but highly effective against nasty microorganisms. Aqueous ozone acts like a superhero oxidizer, breaking down pesticides and getting rid of organic contaminants like bacteria and viruses.

What is aqueous ozone anyway? Well, it’s very similar to when you mix 1 part chlorine with 6 parts water to create a cleaning solution. Only in this case, we add ozone (O3) and let it dissolve in water to make aqueous ozone. 

With Shield Oâ„¢, we use an electrical discharge on the oxygen in the surrounding air. This process energizes oxygen (O2) so it combines with another oxygen molecule, turning into ozone (made up of three oxygen atoms – O3). Ozone is a powerhouse molecule – it’s super reactive and a strong oxidizing agent. It can bust into cells, attack their membranes, disable enzymes, and even break down the genetic materials of gDNA and total RNA. But here’s the best part: after it’s done its job of fighting microorganisms, ozone turns back into oxygen and leaves no yucky residue behind.

Because ozone is pretty unstable, aqueous ozone starts breaking down as soon as it’s created. It stays effective for around 15 minutes before it transforms back into normal water and oxygen. That’s why it can only be generated and used on-site and you won’t find it stored in a bottle at the pharmacy or grocery store.

CASE STUDY – HAND HYGIEN SKIN ATP STUDY

Hand washing with tap water and soap vs. ozonated water and soap vs. antiseptic and ozonated water vs. antiseptic and tap water (Source)

Reearch study by Alvaro Liceaga, M.D.; Elvin Mercado, C.S.T.; Mary Narcaroti R.N.MSHA; Lisa Liceaga B.S.  published on Monday, January 9th, 2017

“This preliminary study helps confirm that ozonated water possesses excellent antimicrobial properties and should have a place in effective hand hygiene protocols. The addition of ozonated water to the handwashing regimen is recommended by the authors, as it has proven to be of value in reducing ATP levels on the skin following this preliminary study. Further studies are needed to issue additional recommendations.”

 

 

 

The FDA has designated aqueous ozone as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for use as an antimicrobial agent in direct contact with food for human consumption, and the USDA permits its use as an ingredient in the organic food program. In fact, the bottled water industry recognizes it as a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and it is widely used in commercial settings such as hospitals and meat counters. Learn more about this FDA classification.

 

Shield O™ was designed to be small and compact in order to bring the well-known benefits of aqueous ozone into the home. View the Shield O™ FDA listing. 

 

In order to ensure Shield O™ is as effective as possible, we conducted third-party testing through SGS. We tested against a variety of harmful bacteria and pathogens including Coliform, Esherichia coli, Staphylococcus aures, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Legionella pheumophila, and MRSA. The study showed that after just 60 seconds of contact, the ozone water generated through Shield O™ eliminated 99.9% of test pathogens.

Risks and challenges

We believe that the majority of risks and challenges associated with getting your Shield O to you are behind us, and here’s why:

We’re nearly at the finish line! Our longstanding relationship with our manufacturing partner has assured that all tooling and production processes are already complete. We have a 90-day lead time from the end of the campaign to our shipping date. GreenKona has successfully produced aqueous ozone systems for professional use with years of history with happy and satisfied customers. Now, we are making the same technology available for home use for the first time.
