Pool Water Purifiers

Ozone Joes water purification systems are the safe, simple, reliable way to make your pool & spa water sparkling clean and clear! Once installed your Ozone Joe's Ozonator will:

Ozonators:

• Reduce the need for chemicals by up to 90%
• Destroy all bacteria, viruses, algae and organisms instantly.
• Eliminate chlorine and bromine odor.
• Eliminate skin and eye irritations and hair damage.
• Prolong the life of filtration equipment.
• Substantially reduces maintenance time and cost.

How ozone works to protect your pool or spa Ozone (O3) is generated by irradiating air or oxygen (O2) with ultraviolet radiation.

Ozone is a molecule of oxygen that is formed when three atoms of oxygen are bound together instead of the normal two atoms. The extra oxygen atom makes ozone the most powerful oxidizer and sanitizer readily available. Since ozone is unstable and quickly decomposes to normal oxygen under normal conditions, it cannot be shipped or stored. Therefore, it must be manufactured on site for immediate use. In normal air, it lasts about an hour. In normal pool water it lasts just long enough to purify the water - less than 1 second.

Although ozone is mainly thought of as a sanitizer, it acts primarily as an oxidizer in the pool environment. In a typical pool that uses chlorine only, up to 90 percent of the chlorine may be used up in usage unrelated to disinfection. The byproduct of this is combined chlorines. Combined chlorines are the cause of eye irritation, odor, and the other unpleasant side effects of chlorination.

When ozone is used, it oxidizes a large portion of the contaminants (usually referred to as "the nasty's ") which result in the formation of combined chlorines. The result is that more chlorine is available for disinfection and less chlorine is required to maintain the pool. Ozone also provides some disinfection, but an ozone residual cannot be established, so the use of chlorine or bromine is always recommended.
