Ozone Generators

What is ozone and how is dosed?

Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen -O3 instead of O2- that is generated in situ by passing air through a high voltage electric shock being the most effective method the so-called corona discharge. The air is typically dried at a very low dew point temperature before passing through the ozone production process, although some small ozone generators use atmospheric air.

The air is induced through the ozone generator by the vacuum produced by a Venturi injector or by the pressure generated by compressors. The mixing of ozone bubbles / air in water pool begins within the injector, can be complemented by other mixing device such as a static mixer.

Ozone is the most powerful disinfectant and chemical oxidizer for water treatment.
Can be considered as the main oxidizing agent in a pool or as a complementary disinfectant (although in the domestic swimming pool can act as a primary disinfectant).

Ozone kills bacteria that can commonly be found, such as E. Coli, hundreds times faster than chlorine. There are also certain types of pathogens microorganisms, such as viruses, amoebae and spores found in swimming pools which, impractical way of microorganisms, are slowly deactivated by the traditional disinfection processes but which are inactivated by the use of ozone. The use of ozone treatment provides valuable insurance system to disinfect pools; although, under normal circumstances, ozone has to be disposed or destroyed before the water returns to the pool and must ensure a cross disinfection into the pool by long lasting germicides such as chlorine or bromine. Under its powerful oxidizing properties, ozone prevents accumulation of products causing odor, derivatives or refractory harmful from the chlorination of human organic pollution (monochloramine, Dichloramine, trichloramine, trihalomethane, clorocreatinina, clorourea, etc.). Accomplishes this by intervening in every phase of its creation: by the oxidation of components of urea and sweat; in this way allowing the elimination of the precursors of chloramines and trihalomethanes, etc. By oxidation and which are formed of mono-, di- and tri-chloramines. It also claims to improve breakpoint reactions of chlorine and ammonia removal. This means"pool smell" and irritation of the eyes and nose will be removed; you can use the air recirculation to its maximum potential, which can save money and the buildup organic substances nitro- and chloro- in the pools will be the minimum.

Ozone is also responsible for safely nitrogenous organic contaminants or components of color, taste and smell that may have been present in the water supply, once again, by oxidation.

Another remarkable beneficial effect of ozone treatment is the stunning clarity of treated water. This is because the polar organic compounds in the oxidation process with ozone and combining with polyvalent cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron, aluminum and magnesium to form insoluble complex material with high molecular weight, easily removed by filtration (the effect "microflocculation"). This, for example, can cause that greenish water becomes blue, bright, and clear as was observed in ozone facilities.

A study about the user comfort in pool performed by the Amateur Swimming Association "found that ozone treated pools were considerably better than the sanitized by other systems.”
