HOW OZONE IS MADE:
Did you know that ozone is made in nature? It naturally does it in two ways - Lightning (Corona Discharge) and Sun (UV Light)
Lightning (Corona Discharge) - Lightning passing through the air creates ozone from oxygen.
Sun (UV Light) - Oxygen in the presence of 185 NM UV light creates ozone.
Both methods break up oxygen molecules to form ozone. 
How does Ozone Solutions make ozone? With the same methods as above, but on a much smaller scale.
