![]() AFTER OZONE !! |
Ozone operates according the principle of oxidation. Ozone is faster than chlorine at killing bacteria because chlorine needs to diffuse through the cell wall and disrupt the bacteria's metabolism. Ozone, however, rips open the cell wall from the outside, causing the cell's contents to fall apart. This process is called cell lysing. With ozone, after destruction of the cell, all that is left is carbon dioxide, cell debris and water. As the ozone oxidizes material, it gets used up. Once it has done its job of oxidation, ozone reverts back to oxygen (O2). This additional oxygen in the water makes it taste good, smell good and gives it a sparkle. There are no toxic or hazardous byproducts.
Chlorine reacts with organic waste and forms a large number of highly toxic chloro-organic compounds, also referred to as "combined chlorine". These are well known carcinogens, and are also very poisonous to marine life. In swimming pools they accumulate in very high concentrations. Red eyes and rashes are the most instant and obvious effects. Some chlorine by-products have been linked to higher incidences of asthma, lung damage, stillbirths, miscarriages and bladder cancer, according to credible research conducted in the U.S., Canada, Norway, Australia and Belgium. One researcher noted that 10-year-old children spending an average of 1.8 hours per week in a swimming pool environment suffered lung damage she would expect to see in an adult smoker
On average the human body will absorb half a litre of pool water every hour. So you can only imagine what sort of harmful contaminants are being absorbed into your body whilst swimming.
Ozone (Oł) is a highly unstable gas and reverts back to its stable state of oxygen (O˛) rapidly (15-30 minutes in water), therefore you need an ozone generator to produce the ozone gas on-site. All our MightyZone pool ozonator kits come with everything you need to install your unit quickly and effortlessly.

Ideal pump run time is 24 hours. If user chooses to run pump on 12-hour cycle time then water circulating rate should be once each 3 to 4 hour period. The pump should re-circulate the total volume of pool water through the injector at least once each 4 hr period for maximum litress. If the pool volume is say 60 000 litres then the pump should be capable of re-circulating the water at a rate of at least 15 000 litres per hour. This way, the total volume of water through the pool will be pass through the injector at least once each 4 hour period. Less pump run time for the minimum litres. Use Sodium Bromide if additional chemicals are required. Dosage is 20g per 1000 Litres of water every 6 months
