Abstract: This portable appliance can be used to clean teeth by liquid (water or solution) containing dissolved ozone, which is a potent oxidizer and germ killer. Preferably, its cleaning action is enhanced by pulsations of the liquid stream. The dissolved ozone can reduce or eliminate gingivitis, gum bleeding, bad breath, teeth stains, and harmful oral bacteria. This appliance can also be used for nasal irrigation for sinusitis treatment and for ear irrigation, eye care, and general cleaning. Additionally, since its output pump is independent of the ozone dissolving system, the ozone dissolving system can be configured as an add on device for an oral irrigator such as a Water Pik™ manufactured by WaterPik Technologies, Inc. In this configuration, the ozonated liquid is delivered by either gravity or pumped flow, to the original reservoir connection with the irrigator serving as the delivery portion of this invention.

Abstract: A system for injecting air mixed with ozone into a water tank at normal line pressure of about 20 to 60 psi. Water from the outlet of the tank at, or near, the bottom of the tank is pumped through a by-pass circuit back into the tank near the bottom, and the output of an ozone generator is entrained with the water in the by-pass circuit. In the preferred form, the pump is of the kind capable of developing a suction at its inlet, the water is fed to it through a restrictor so that at the inlet the pressure is lower than the pressure in the ozone generator, and the gas is fed at the inlet of the pump.
