Ozone Pool System

An ozone pool system is a water purification system that uses ozone gas to oxidize contaminants.

How Ozone Pool Systems Work

Ozone generators introduce ozone gas (O3) into pool water, breaking down organic waste, bacteria, and algae. It significantly reduces chlorine demand while improving water quality.

Benefits of an Ozone Pool System

  • Improves water clarity by breaking down contaminants at a molecular level.
  • Reduces chlorine use while maintaining proper sanitation.
  • Eliminates chloramines, reducing odor and irritation.

Related Terms

  • Free Chlorine (FC) – The active and available chlorine that sanitizes pool water.
  • pH – A measure of how acidic or basic the pool water is.
  • Shock Treatment – The process of adding a high dose of chlorine or oxidizer to break down contaminants.
