This Chemical-Free Food Sanitizer sanitizes meat, fruits, vegetables, and household surfaces without the use of chemicals. It combines water and O3, a molecule that is purportedly 50% more powerful and begins to work 3,000 times faster than chlorine bleach.

The result is that it kills 99.99% of salmonella and E. coli while reducing pesticide residue on foods in less than four minutes. The sanitizer bowl is roughly the size of a salad spinner and requires only the addition of tap water.

“At the touch of a button on the unit’s base, an electrical charge infuses the tap water with O3, cleaning the food during a four-minute cycle. More than just a food sanitizer, the unit comes with a spray bottle that docks in the sanitizer base and oxygenates the contained water in two minutes, allowing you to kill unpleasant odors, eliminate mold and mildew, and clean surfaces in a kitchen, bathroom, or family room. To ensure optimal sanitation, the device has a replaceable cartridge (additional units sold below) that automatically removes humidity from air inside the unit and informs you when a new cartridge is necessary. The base has an LCD that shows time remaining in a cleaning cycle and audible alerts inform you when a cleaning cycle is complete.”

If your pet exits this perimeter, an audible alarm will sound. For example, you may wish to establish your property line as the perimeter for your pet. After setting up your fence, this information would be stored in your system and if your dog wanders off your property, the alarm will sound. Because this boundary is electronic, you can erase and create new ones as often as you like, giving you the flexibility for any situation or condition.”
