It’s important to understand the characteristics and precautions associated with ozone use to ensure the safety and effectiveness of water treatment processes.

• Nature of Ozone:
  • Ozone is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms per molecule and can be readily dissolved in water.
• Odorless Aqueous Ozone:
  • When gaseous ozone is dissolved in water, it becomes aqueous ozone, which is odorless.
• Versatile Benefits:
  • Ozone serves various purposes, including antimicrobial oxidation for supplemental treatment and secondary disinfection. It aids in the oxidation of organic and inorganic contaminants. Ozone also helps reduce chlorine byproducts and can contribute to algae reduction.
• Additional Functions:
  • Ozone can act as a micro-flocculant, aiding in the removal of small particles.
  • It also functions as an anti-foaming agent, helping maintain water clarity.
• Low Residual Presence:
  • Ozone leaves little to no residual presence in a pool or spa. Therefore, it is used alongside an EPA-registered primary sanitizer for comprehensive water treatment.
• Chloramine Control:
  • Ozone offers the added benefit of destroying chloramines, which are compounds formed by the reaction of chlorine with organic and nitrogenous substances. The use of ozone can lead to reduced chlorine consumption.
• Compliance with NSF/ANSI Standard 50:
  • It is essential to comply with industry standards. NSF/ANSI Standard 50 mandates the use of ozone in conjunction with chlorine for water treatment.

Safety Precautions

• Ozone generators should be installed, operated, and maintained by trained professionals.
• Always follow manufacturer instructions for the safe use of ozone-generating systems. Regularly monitor and maintain ozone levels to ensure effective water treatment.
