Dear Ron, >From the O3.com list: When ozone is produced from ambient air, without drying the air, nitric acid is formed by the combination of water vapor, nitrogen from the air and ozone. It might be possible to adapt a drying cartridge, containing silica gel with a blue dye, to the air intake. The blue dye gradually turns pink as the gel saturates with moisture. The gel can be regenerated by heating in a microwave oven until it turns blue again.
>From Bob Becks protocol: Note: Nitrogen by-products, oxides and acids produced with air and cold corona discharge have been tested and found negligible and harmless in ozonized drinking water. But hot arcing produces unwanted byproducts using air; pure oxygen does not. So to be safe start with bottled oxygen and pure water only if making O³; intended for inter-muscular injection, insufflation, direct blood infusions, or with heparin for auto-dialysis (bubbling blood in a vessel for re-injection or "autohemotherapy"). "Medical" & "industrial" (welding) oxygen are identical and come from the same tanks at suppliers who charge more by pretending that "medical-grade" oxygen is somehow "different". Ambient air works well for drinkable O³;. The colder and purer your water and the deeper the container for greater pressure plus the smaller the volume of H²O being bubbled, the most ozone dissolves faster and the longer it lasts. Ideal bubblers are ~3" dia. X 2-½ ft. high Teflon or Polypropylene tubes with airstone at very bottom. Tall, thin plastic bottles work almost as well but their greater content takes a little longer for saturation. Non-reactive Pyrex containers are better. To use: submerge airstone to bottom and "bubble" ~10 OZ containers of ½ ice + ½ cold tap water for ~5 minutes with the inexpensive design or ~2 min. with the more powerful 200 mg ozonizer. Charge cold water in a large bottle for ~25 min. Drink immediately since O³; without stabilizers even in ice water has a half-life of about 20 minutes so retains full potency for only a short time. Benefits start in minutes and are far superior to many other expensive products claimed to provide "bound" oxygen (chlorites; CIO5 ) or proprietary "Vitamin O" stabilized oxygen boosters. Ozone cannot be stored which is why everyone needs his own generator to make O³; immediately before using for the best possible results. Never breathe ozone or ozonized air as it damages (oxidizes) lung tissue even in small quantities.
