Claim 9:
10. An ozone solution system comprising:
a single water input line configured to route water into the ozone solution system;
a single air intake configured to route air into the ozone solution system;
one or more air treatment stages configured to treat the air and generate ozone gas;
one or more water treatment stages configured to mix the water with the ozone gas to create a mixture of water and ozone gas;
a degassing chamber, including:
a housing having a cylindrical sidewall defining a cavity between an upper end and a lower end, the cavity including a mixture area proximate the lower end and an ozone area proximate the upper end, wherein the lower end of the housing comprises a cylindrical bottom cap;
an inlet configured to deliver the mixture of water and ozone gas to the mixture area through the lower end;
a cylindrical float positioned within the cavity and configured to move along a central axis of the cavity, wherein the cylindrical float is buoyant with respect to the mixture, the mixture forming a column around the cylindrical float and excess ozone gas from the mixture being directed past the cylindrical float to pool within the ozone area;
an ozone outlet configured to divert ozone gas from the ozone area out the upper end;
a piston connected to the cylindrical float to move simultaneously with the cylindrical float, wherein: when the column of the mixture rises above a threshold, the piston moves into a closed position in which the piston seals the ozone outlet; and when the column of the mixture is below the threshold, the piston moves into an open position in which the piston allows ozone gas from the ozone area to exit through the ozone outlet; and
a mixture outlet configured to divert the mixture from the mixture area and out the lower end,
wherein:

the inlet includes a raised lip extending into the cavity and configured to guide the mixture into the cavity;
an upper surface of the cylindrical bottom cap includes a sloped cutout sloping towards the outlet;
the degassing chamber is configured such that an ozone gas pressure builds up in the ozone region over time such that the column of the mixture is eventually driven downward by the ozone gas pressure; and
a single mixture output line configured to route the mixture from the degassing chamber out of the ozone solution system.
