Maintenance of Ozone Generators ensures maximum ozone production at all times. Our machines are very easy to maintain as demonstrated below

Please note this page is for our older machines. the new ozone generator machines do not require any maintenance

How is ozone made?

The ozone gas is produced from an electrical arc inside the ozone cell and a pump pushes that gas through the outlet pipe. Ozone is a gas created when oxygen (O2) molecules are split into two separate atoms by electric arcs with in the stainless ozone tube. The freed atoms recombine in three-atom groups to form cousins of oxygen -- or ozone (O3). Being a gas it is ideal for use in hard to get to areas for odour removal, sterilising and mould treatment. Its is also ideal for asthma and chemical allergic people as the gas is not residual and converts back into oxygen after approximately 20 minutes.

Odarid NZ Ltd have specially designed units made for us by a qualified engineering company to our specifications. The generators are easily maintained and cleaned with meths. They can be dismantled and cleaned after any dirty work or as an on going monthly maintenance if being used daily.

Maintaining the machine.

The advantage of the Odarid generators is the easy cleaning to ensure maximum ozone output at all times. Other machines are not easily accessed for cleaning and in fact most cannot be cleaned. A 5 minute job every month ensures you have maximum ozone at all times. See below for how to maintain your machine . The model shown is our ODNZA03 (2.4 grams per hour unit) but all models are maintained in a similar manner. Plese note : Machines that draw clean air may not require monthly cleaning however annual cleaning is recommended 

How to maintain your Odarid NZ Ozone Generator

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

The ozone cell is easily dismantled to allow cleaning .

1.Unplug unit from power and ensure it is switched off

2.Unscrew two butterfly nuts on top of unit and remove top cover

3.Carefully disconnect high voltage connection from white plastic connection at end of ozone cell by holding the connection and sliding it off the threaded rod

4.Remove air inlet tubing from stainless steel hosetail on white plastic connection

5.Lift stainless steel ozone tube out of clips

6.Gently unscrew the plastic fitting at the end of the ozone tube and remove the glass insert as shown

7.Gently clean the tube with a steel wool and meths to remove burnt on sediment. Clean inside the steel tube with meths and a thin bottle brush

8.After meths is dry (about 1 minute) gently reinsert the glass tube into the stainless tube and reassemble machine. Make sure high voltage fitting is secure to avoid moisture and dirt getting on connector.

9. Replace top and test output
