Any more benefits? - Yes. Improved Water Quality:

Water Clarity

A characteristic of an Ozone treated pool is the outstanding water clarity. This is the result of the ability of Ozone to combine small insoluble particles that would normally pass through a filter, into larger particles that can be effectively trapped by the filter. This process is called flocculation, and Ozone is a very good flocculent. The result is a crystal clear pool with a clarity that is unmatched. 

• The water is softer.

• Reduces total dissolved solids (TDS) by coagulating particles.

• Ozone has neutral pH (that means it does not affect the pH of the pool).

• Ozone is not pH dependent (that is it is effective regardless of the pool pH).

• It produces no undesirable residuals; no chloramine build-up.

• No irritation to the eyes, nasal passages or throat.

• No more dried out skin, bleached hair or faded swimwear.

• It neutralises body oils, soaps and their suds.

• The by-products of Ozone are heat, filterable solids and pure oxygen.

Cost Saving:

• Reduces chemical consumption significantly (amount depends on Ozone generator size).

• Ozone instantly turns combined chlorine (if used together) into 'free-  available' chlorine, making it 100% useable.

• Reduces TDS, so you don't have to drain the pool, saving money on water costs (& chemical costs).

• Prolongs the life of the equipment by reducing calcium and scale build-up.

Maintenance Savings:

• Weekly, rather than every other day chemical check.

• Reduce the need to store large quantities of toxic chemicals which break

• down, becoming ineffective in storage and risk spillage or inadvertent release.

• No overdosing possible - no financial waste.

• Pool requires fewer cleanings.

• Less calcium build up on plaster.

Will Ozone damage my pool equipment?

 On the contrary, as Ozone can only be added to the water at the rate it is generated, it is not possible to 'overdose' as can happen with manually added chemicals. Once Ozone is dissolved in the water, it is not considered to be any more aggressive than any other oxidising chemical. With the world-wide trend towards the increased use of Ozone, most equipment manufacturers are manufacturing their products with 'Ozone-resistant' materials, so few problems need be expected. Avoid the use however of exposing natural rubber or nylon materials to high levels of dissolved Ozone.

Will I still have to use chemicals in the pool? Yes.

 The water must still be 'balanced' as normal, and in most cases, a residual sanitizer such as bromine is used.

Why not just use Chlorine?

 Viruses and bacteria can build up a tolerance to chlorine and exist in even well chlorinated pools. Also the build up of total dissolved solids in pool (TDS) or incorrect pH can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. (At a pH of 8.0, the relative strength of chlorine can be as little as 30% of the strength at a pH of 7.0.) Nothing however can build up a resistance to Ozone and the presence of a high TDS or incorrect pH will not affect its oxidising ability.

The use of Ozone therefore ensures a much safer pool under all conditions.

Will my pool be harder to look after? No. 

 Normally it is the addition of chemicals that unsettle the chemical balance of the pool water. When the chemical additions are reduced through the use of Ozone, the pool is able to settle down, and less effort (and chemicals) is required to maintain correct water balance.

Will the Ozone stop my pool going green?

 No, not necessarily, but it is much less likely to happen. If a pool goes green it almost always means that conditions have not been right for some period of time, and a number of things could have caused the problem. If this happens, it is because the chemicals are not able to control the pool correctly. The conditions or use of the pool may have changed, or the correct chemicals are perhaps not being applied. Either way, provided the Ozone is still being applied, the solution is to sort out the problem with the chemicals.

In other words, if the Ozone is working, forget it is there, and treat the pool just as you would any other 'chlorine' or 'bromine' pool

What happens if something goes wrong with the Ozone Generator?

 If for any reason the Ozone equipment stops working, or it comes time to service the equipment, simply increase the application of the chemicals until the Ozone is back in service.

How long should I run the filter pump?

•  The job of the filter in a pool is to remove suspended matter from the water. Remember: Adequate filtration is essential in any pool. Your pool will never look good without sufficient filtration.

• You cannot 'over-filter' your pool.

• Insufficient filtration will greatly affect the workload of the Ozone & the chemicals

• Ozone will be going in to your pool all the time the filter is running.

• Don't be afraid to extend the running time of the pump, especially in the peak of

• the 'pool season'. Your Ozone equipment has the ability to produce a powerful

• sanitizer for your pool, 24 hours a day, and the small extra cost of the electricity may well be compensated for by the savings in chemicals. Up to 80% of the water treatment of your pool is done by the filter, so don't be afraid to use it.
