In Search of an Accurate, Easy to Use, Handheld Ozone PPM Sensor

Question

Roving Blue is an early commercial stage company in the business of manufacturing electrolytic ozone generators to dissolve 03 into water.  In the past we have used colormetric kits to determine ozone levels.
While these have served us well for general purposes, we have had complaints from OEM companies testing our components about false positive results, etc. 
Does anyone here have a suggestion about any devices (ideally, handheld), which would give accurate ozone ppm levels? ).
We would certainly welcome your suggestions.  Thank you!

Use the ozo::lyser from s::can. Their sensors are very relyable. Just for the record, I have no stake in that company.

Yes, Hach has recently updated its DR300 Pocket Colorimeter, with improved connectivity and data transfer capabilities.  It can measure 17 different parameters, including ozone.  Please visit the Hach.com website for more info, or call 1.800.227.4224.  A datasheet is attached here for your info as well.

Hello Mariana; Ozone abilities have been known for a while. These days it is used as a last resort if the purification system has no access to modern technology or a perceived high cost of this new technology. A current drawback on the use of ozone is the elimination of the beneficial nutrients in the water. Those nutrients have to be added back or the "cleaned water" itself will become a secondary toxin meaning the lack of natural nutrients are missing. Sort of like sailors on naval ship many years ago  went for years on voyages with no fruit. But they did not get the minimal amount of nutrients to maintain their health. Identical to ozone.  Fortunately nature already has a perfect solution. In natures recycling system their is zero waste. Microbes from the RNA microbial group biodegrade the waste to the elemental state. No residue. Only nutrients they are needed to keep all life forms working within their established parameters.  Those "toxic metals" will be chelated by the same group. So if the primary question is device to measure Ozone ppm levels my answer is why? If clean potable drinking water regardless of the waste in it can be cost effectively applied then the answer is yes.  Kinda makes the water shortages around the world look like a man made crisis. Easily fixable and for pennies.
