How Does Ozone Work In Swimming Pools

Pool Ozone Generator uses the theory of Ozonation.

Ozone is generated in-situ unlike traditional chemicals used for disinfection and cleaning. Ozonation utilizes naturally occurring oxygen which eliminates the need for chemical handling procedures. Ozone is produced by imposing a high voltage across a dielectric discharge gap (Corona Discharge) which ionizes oxygen atoms and forms ozone molecules. Ozone is a much stronger oxidant than chlorine and once applied ozone instantly reacts with contaminants, leaving no byproducts.

The main mechanisms for ozone disinfection include: destruction of microorganism cell walls, radical oxidation reactions, decomposition of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and breakage of carbon-nitrogen bonds (which are essential in most organic compounds like e.g. proteins). Two main factors influence the effectiveness of ozone disinfection, namely the contact time and ozone concentration. 

Pool Ozone Generator allows swimming piol maintainance more environmental and heathy. That's why more and more people use Pool Ozone Generator instead of traditional chlorine disinfection.
