ElI5: What is an ozone sprayer? It sounds like pseudoscience.

889 viewsChemistryOther

My friend has been using one and they say it’s an “ozone cleaner” and that it disinfects whatever you spray the water on?
Is this bullshit?
Here is the explanation from the website: Ozone spray is the amazing, easy-to-use cleaner, sanitizer and disinfectant made from just tap water. This patented ozone spray machine takes ordinary water then electrifies it, creating aqueous ozone, an earth-friendly, totally safe and chemical free spray to clean and sanitize countertops, floors, windows, door handles and any hard surfaces in your home or business. The EnozoPRO (Hygeia) aqueous ozone sprayer is battery operated and kills 99.9% of bacteria and common viruses in only 30 seconds

While aqueous ozone is a good sanitizer and is quite safe since you won’t be inhaling it, I question why they claim it’s produced via electrolysis of tapwater… Unless the diamond electrode changes a lot, that’d just make normal oxygen and explosive hydrogen gas. I’ve seen aqueous ozone cleaners in industrial settings, and they all seem to require a canister of what I assume is pressurized ozone which is then dissolved into the water from the hose.

Fitting an ozone generator and infusion chamber in a handheld sprayer seems very far fetched…
