Don’t operate the Ozone cycle repeatedly without opening your bottle - Pressure from the releasing O3 will build up
and cause water to leak into the unit.
Caution:
The GO3™ was designed for use with clear tap water, clear lake or stream water, or collected rainwater of
unknown safety. Water with debris in it should be filtered through a cloth or coffee filter. (Be on the lookout for our
Roving Blue GO3™ water filter currently under development). Once in its treatment container, which we recommend
to be clear plastic or glass, examine the water carefully. If there is
any cloudiness present
, this could be an indicator
of high bacteria levels. While ozone is highly effective at killing bacteria, the GO3™ may not generate enough ozone
to kill very high levels of bacteria. If in doubt, operate it repeatedly until there is a distinct smell of ozone. It is not
possible to “over-ozonate” water, however, you can under-dose it. If you cannot smell the ozone, it is probably being
used up by whatever contaminants are in the water. You may need to operate it many times until you can smell the
ozone.
Be Aware:
Infectious microbes can be encountered in many ways. Some other ways that infectious diseases can be
spread are through:
• Foods washed in unsafe water • Contact with infected people, animals or objects • Unintentional water consumption,
such as when brushing teeth, showering or swimming.
Opportunities for infection are abundant and virtually everywhere so it is important to realize that use of a Roving
Blue® device does not guarantee that the user will avoid illness. To avoid microbial infection, one must take a wide
range of precautions. Use of a Roving Blue® GO3™ is an important precaution, but not the only precaution that one
should take.
Ongoing Care & Cleaning:
When not in use, the GO3™ should be charged and kept in its “pod pocket”. If you only
travel a few times a year, plan to charge it at 6 month intervals. A good time is when you check the batteries in your
home fire or carbon monoxide detectors. It should not be exposed to temperatures above 140°F/60°C or below
-4°F/-20°C. To clean the unit, wash it with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Do not submerge in water, as the pod is
not waterproof and you will damage the internal circuitry. Shake off excess water and return to its pocket.
Periodic Maintenance:
Water often contains minerals such as calcium carbonate. Like a coffee-maker, these
minerals will slowly accumulate on the electrodes, and will cause the electrolysis process to slow down. When the
production of ozone appears weak, you may clean the electrodes as follows:
1. Prepare a solution of tap water and regular kitchen vinegar at a ratio of 5 parts water to 1 part vinegar.
2. Place in a shallow bowl so as not to submerge the unit past the USB charge port. Dip the ozone electrode into this
solution for 10 minutes. Do NOT apply power.
3. Swirl a few times and remove from the solution. Discard the vinegar solution in your dish and replace with fresh
clean water. Swirl the electrode in the water to rinse. After cleaning the electrodes, normal production will resume. If it
does not, very heavy deposits may require several treatments.

Because this is a new product we have not performed extensive testing in real world field
conditions. We would love to hear from you how it performs for you! The units at our HQ that were fully charged and
