This may seem intimidating to get set up. But it's actually quite easy.
However, all parties require the following essentials:
Ozone generators are used for a variety of purposes. Some are made for air purification, others to make ozone water, but the ones we are interested in are built for medical purposes.
Medical grade (sometimes called laboratory grade or pure grade) generators will ALWAYS use 99% pure oxygen to make ozone.
Not all ozone generators using oxygen are good for ozone therapy. Some companies cut corners and sell inexpensive "medical" ozone devices but don't pass any testing. Medical ozone generators are required to have these standards:
An oxygen tank is necessary to operate a medical ozone generator.
We recommend you buy an oxygen tank locally.
Most home users get the 540 industrial oxygen, which is rated for the same purity as medical oxygen but doesn’t require a prescription. This tank can be bought at a local "Airgas" or "Praxair".
A size 40 cubic foot oxygen tank is recommended. It sounds large but it's not. It's about 15 inches tall and weighs 13lbs.
Medical practitioners and some patients get the 870 medical oxygen tank. A prescription or medical license is required to get an 870 medical oxygen tank.
Google "Medical oxygen supply near me" to find a location that provides medical oxygen tanks.
A size 40 cubic foot oxygen tank is recommended for home users. Medical practitioners are recommended to get two E size tanks (in case one runs out).
This part is easy.
Your regulator will come with the ozone therapy kit because they are specially made for the ozone generator.
If you’re getting a 540 commercial oxygen tank, get the 540 regulator. The size of the oxygen tank doesn't change which regulator you will need.
If you’re getting an 870 medical oxygen tank, get the 870 regulator.
If you are outside of North America, refer to this article on international regulators.
Based on what therapies you want to do, you will need accessories. The accessories required for each therapy have been outlined in this guide.
