Active Oxygen is Not Ozone: Understanding the Principle of Water Electrolysis for Active Oxygen

"Active oxygen" sounds a lot like "ozone." Are they the same thing? This is the most common question we get asked. The answer is: the underlying principles are similar, but the electrolytic active oxygen technology used by EOG differs fundamentally from traditional ozone generators in terms of generation method, concentration control, and safety.

Starting with a Drop of Pure Water

Traditional ozone generators mostly use high-voltage discharge to produce ozone from oxygen molecules in the air. Their concentration is difficult to control, and they often produce an unpleasant pungent odor. EOG's technology, on the other hand, uses "ordinary tap water" as raw material. Through a patented electrolytic module, water molecules are dissociated and recombined to generate active oxygen water with highly effective antibacterial capabilities. The entire process involves no added chemicals, requiring only a cup of clear water.

Proactive Decomposition, Not Filter Interception

Common air purifiers on the market work by using filters to "intercept" dirt and odor molecules in the air — essentially leaving the problem on the filter rather than truly eliminating it. EOG's active oxygen water, however, takes a proactive approach: it directly breaks down the cellular structures of odor sources and bacteria at the molecular level, making the smell "non-existent" rather than temporarily masked or diluted.

Disappears After Use, Leaving No Trace

This is also the biggest difference between active oxygen and other cleaning methods: after it has finished working, active oxygen naturally reverts to its original water and oxygen. Within about 20 minutes, it will return to normal air and water molecules, leaving no chemical residue and requiring no additional rinsing or ventilation wait. This means that households with infants, young children, or pets can safely use it in their daily environment.

Visible Test Data

According to SGS third-party testing, EOG's active oxygen technology can achieve a removal rate of 94.8% for common toilet urine odors and a sterilization rate of over 99.99%. These figures are not marketing jargon; they are part of the essential process that every EOG product undergoes before launch — because we believe that commitments to sustainability and technology should ultimately be verified by data.

The next time you smell a "faint post-rainstorm scent," that is precisely proof that active oxygen is breaking down odor molecules. This is not a pungent chemical smell, but rather a natural signal of freshness — brought back into your home by EOG's technology.
