OZO is a sink-side hydration sanitizing that uses aqueous ozone to destroy mold and bacteria
Your bottle could have "40,000 times more [germs] than the microbes on a toilet seat"*

What is Aquiouse Ozone?
Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms. It releases energy that can destroy mold and bacteria.
If ozone is dissolved into water like CO2 in a soda, it can be be used to sanitize and deodorize surfaces.
Aqueous ozone is currently used in industry to sanitize office water jugs, and even used by custodial staff to clean facilities.
"Aqueous Ozone is a strong oxidizer proven to effectively destroy germs, bacteria, viruses, and contaminates on surfaces. [An ozone generator] turns oxygen into aqueous ozone. The aqueous ozone is then infused into ordinary cold tap water. The extra oxygen atom attack and completely destroys contaminants. After complete oxidation, the solution safely reverts back to water."*

Place drinkware on OZO!
Blue Glow
Aqueous ozone is being prepared while the indicator LED shines blue.
Green Glow
Once the LED turns green, OZO is ready to sanitize your drinkware!
Learning Outcomes
Don't always jump into the first solution you find.
Specific to this project, an under sink tool, similar to an instant hot water heater would be best for reducing even more barriers and time to clean drinkware.
Proof of concepts are informative for proving tools have efficacy.
