Roving Blue O-Pen Operation Manual

Before Use

Roving Blue® is designed to ensure safe drinking water from tap or other clear water sources such as rainwater or clear streams.
Water that is visibly clouded with dirt, silt or algae should be allowed to settle and/or should be pre-filtered.
Also, water containing tannins (a "tea" coloring) will be rendered safe to drink; however, the tea color may not be removed.

Overview

The Roving Blue® O-Pen™ makes water safe to drink by using dissolved ozone as a sanitation agent. Ozone, or "O3", is the most powerful
oxidizer available that can be safely used in water treatment.
Ozone is a strong oxidant that is widely recognized as a biocide and has the ability to achieve more than 99.9% pathogen kill rates.
Treatment with ozone is a proven and long-accepted method for disinfecting drinking water. Users of ozone technology include municipal water
treatment plants, water bottling companies, hospitals and hotels.
• In 1997, the FDA approved the use of ozone as an anti-microbial agent with indirect contact with foods.
• In 2002, the FDA approved ozone for use on food contact areas and directly on food with its "Generally Regarded as Safe"
(GRAS) designation.
• Today, the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) identifies aqueous ozone (ozone dissolved in water) as a substance that is allowed
for use in organic crop and livestock production.
Ozone has been shown to be effective in a variety of drinking water applications including:
Disinfection, iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) reduction, hydrogen sulfide removal, and taste and odor reduction.
Ozone can also reduce formation of disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and halo acetic acids (HAAs).
Ozonation is effective for removal of difficult to treat pathogens such as giardia and cryptosporidium.
The amount of O3 generated by the O-Pen™ will vary depending on water temperature, chemistry, conductivity and pH.
