Ergo, a little vinegar in your ozonated water is a very good idea (whereas vinegar/baking soda was a bad idea)."The ozone decay rate is slow at low pH and the reaction order n for ozone is found to be unity in the presence of nitric, acetic, sulfuric and hydrochloric acid. Only in the latter case the order m for the hydroxyl concentration is zero as the reaction between O3 and Cl- is the fastest destruction process. For the other acids the order m ≤ 0.1 indicating that the ozone decay at low pH is almost independent of [OH- ]. Increasing the pH to values of about 5.5-7.5 leads to a faster ozone decomposition rate with the order n equal to 1.5."

Good work my friend!
