How Does Ozone Work?
Ozone is activated oxygen; (O3) one of natures very special elements. It is a natural purifier. Its clean, fresh scent is often noticed after a heavy rain.

Ozone was first discovered in the 1840's. By combining the ultraviolet rays from the sun, with the air that we breathe, ozone is naturally generated. In 1906, the city of Nice, France; built the first municipal water purification plant utilizing ozone. Today, there are over 2000 plants worldwide using ozone to purify drinking water. Recently, Los Angeles built the largest ozone plant in the world for purification of the city's drinking water supply. This system was chosen over a chlorine system because of ozone's extraordinary ability to purify water with out side effects. Unlike chlorine, ozone leaves no toxic residues that have to be removed or disposed of. It is a stable yet powerful bactericide, vermicide and bleaching agent.

Ozone is produced naturally by the sun's ultraviolet light or by a powerful electrical current when lightning passes through the air. It provides a protective layer around the earth that shields us from deadly radiation. Without this natural ozone layer, life as we know it would cease to exist. The current destruction of our natural ozone layer is caused by pollution.

Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer that can be used safely in pools and spas. Its alternative, chlorine has been documented to cause illness, irritation of the eyes and nose, swimmer's ear, etc. It is also dangerous to transport and store. Ozone is clearly superior to traditional chemical treatment. Just as nature uses ozone to protect life on earth, we can use ozone to protect ourselves from micro organisms in pool and spa -- Naturally.
