Detergentless Laundry Systems

Water Energy's Storm systems are add-on units compatible with any residential washer, including HE models, that eliminate the need for most detergents. They work by injecting dissolved ozone into your existing washer's water supply, providing powerful cleaning action without relying on conventional laundry chemicals or fabric softeners.

Ozone laundry systems dissolve ozone gas into the wash water at concentrations of 0.8 to 1.6 parts per million. Ozone is a highly reactive oxidant that breaks down organic soils, kills bacteria and viruses, and neutralizes odors at the molecular level — delivering a deep clean in cold water without the need for hot water or harsh detergents.

Yes. Water Energy's Storm systems are designed to kill Covid-19, Staph, C. diff, and other spores, viruses, and bacteria on linen in seconds. The dissolved ozone concentration of 0.6–1.5 mg/L (ppm) provides a powerful antimicrobial action that surpasses what conventional detergents and hot water washing typically achieve.

Absolutely. By eliminating or drastically reducing chemical detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, ozone laundry systems are ideal for people with sensitive skin, allergies, or chemical sensitivities. Fabrics washed with ozone contain no chemical residues, reducing the risk of skin irritation and making them a hypoallergenic laundry solution for all ages.

Yes. Water Energy's Storm systems are designed to connect to any residential washer, including high-efficiency (HE) models that use less water. Installation takes 30 minutes or less for most users and requires no special plumbing or electrical modifications. The unit operates at standard household water pressure of 20–90 PSI.

Because ozone works in cold water, you eliminate the cost of heating wash water, which accounts for a significant portion of laundry energy use. Combined with a 75% reduction in chemical purchases and up to one-third less water usage, the Storm system delivers substantial ongoing savings for both households and light commercial laundry operations.
