The Science

Triatomic Oxygen (O3) is a gas that is essentially an oxygen molecule (O2) that has been energized and has an extra Oxygen atom attached to it. In nature, this occurs high in the atmosphere when the ultraviolet energy from the sun converts oxygen to Triatomic Oxygen. Triatomic Oxygen is also created closer to earth when sunlight passes through smog. This is a good thing, as Triatomic Oxygen, often referred to as nature’s cleaner, will help break down pollutants such as car exhaust into less noxious compounds. Energy from lightening and even waterfalls results in the creation of Triatomic Oxygen. The fresh, clean smell you experience after a thunderstorm is actually the smell of Triatomic Oxygen that has been generated by the lightening. Triatomic Oxygen is relatively unstable and will naturally revert back to oxygen, leaving no residues.

It is this lack of a residue, combined with its ability to disinfect and eliminate odors that makes Triatomic Oxygen attractive for many applications. Triatomic Oxygen is replacing chlorine in many commercial applications because it is very effective and does not leave any dangerous residue as chlorine does. Many municipalities, including Montreal and Los Angeles, use Triatomic Oxygen to treat drinking water. Triatomic Oxygen is used in pools and spas as a better and safer alternative to chlorine. Triatomic Oxygen is also used in food preparation as it kills bacteria and odors, and any excess Triatomic Oxygen reverts back to oxygen. The next time you are drinking bottled water, examine the label as it will likely say ‘With Triatomic Oxygen’, ‘Ozonized’, or ‘Ozonated”.

Triatomic Oxygen is so effective in eliminating odors that in 15 minutes, hockey equipment can be rid of odors and any bacteria or fungus in the gear. DupliSkate, a Montreal based company is marketing the Sani Sport, a cabinet that uses Triatomic Oxygen to specifically eliminate odors and microorganisms in hockey equipment.
