Ozone Purification pools Facts
Invest in an ozone-purified pool because you should be concerned with your health. The ozone-purified pool is far better for your health, your hair, and skin, not to mention your bathing suit.
THE POWER OF OZONE
Ozone, O3, is one of the most powerful and effective natural sterilizers and disinfectants. Ozone, or “activated oxygen,” contains three atoms of oxygen rather than two. It is this third atom that makes ozone unstable and gives it power as a sterilant and purifier, because as soon as ozone is released into a polluted environment, the third oxygen atom separates itself from the ozone molecule and attaches itself to the contaminant, neutralizing it and destroying it, ozone reverts to oxygen in approximately 30 minutes.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Because of its instability, once ozone is created, it instantly reacts with other germs, viruses, and bacteria. If there are any residual ozone molecules, they automatically revert to oxygen. When the O3 molecule is airborne, one of the atoms identifies and attacks the contaminant, thereby destroying any organic matter by oxidation. Ozone naturally removes (oxidizes) odors and bacteria.
