FAQ
What are the benefits of using ozone?
• Bacteria kill rate is up to three thousand times faster
• 50% stronger oxidizer than chlorine
• Reduces traditional chemical usage between 60% to 95%
• Reduce handling and storage of unsafe chemicals
• Reduce constant purchasing of harmful chemicals
• Eliminate red, irritated eyes, dry itchy skin
• Eliminate costly replacement of faded swimwear
• Remove unpleasant chlorine odors
• No adverse health or environmental effects
• Improvement of the filter and coagulant capacities = reduction of coagulant use and less
water backwashing
• Water consumption can be decreased, because of an increase in water quality
Can I stop using Bromine?
You will definitely reduce your chemical usage in your pool up to 95% depending on weather
conditions and pool characteristics. Ozone provides better water quality and oxidizes many
contaminants that bromine cannot. However, ozone only lasts in pool water for a short
period of time (15-30 minutes) therefore in order to provide lasting protection during times
when ozone is not being injected, to control algae and to oxidize ammonia and swimmer
waste, you must maintain a small residual of bromine (1.0 to 2.0 PPM of bromine) in
the water. The longer the ozone system operates the less bromine you will have to use
to maintain water quality. Ozone will kill algae at the point of injection, not algae that are
growing on the pool walls. Recommended dosage for Sodium Bromide is 20g per 1000
liters of water every 6 months.
How does ozone get into the water?
Ozone is a gas and it is only slightly soluble in water. It must be thoroughly dissolved in
water so that the chemical reactions with contaminants can take place. The most common
way in swimming pools is with a venturi injector, which is a device a 100mm in length with
each end the same diameter (40/50mm) as the pool plumbing line. A section of pool piping
