Does anyone have an experience with or knowledge of using ozonated water as a bottle/container sanitizer prior to adding product?

[George @ Safefood 360°]

Some limited experience. It works. An effective method of disinfection that is widely used. In addition to the positive effects of the treatment there may also be undesirable production of substances such as bromide depending on the source and other compounds. You may need to control these depending on local legislation. It is a perfectly fine method as long as it is controlled. There is plenty of information available on the subject if you care for a little digging...

Sorry member, I miss read your question. You ask about using ozonated water to sanitise the bottle. No exerience here. I'm limited to UV, filtered, treated water and peracetic acid. the bromide risk may still need to be considered,

Thank you George, we currently use peracetic acid for the bottle sanitation and are familiar with ozone as a water sanitization step (and it's challenges). I was just poking around outside the box in search of something a little less expensive and easier on the environment than peracetic acid. I know places use ozone to sanitize but I'm not clear on the whether that means ozone itself or ozonated water.

I think most of people use ozonated water. I have never heard direct ozone application.
