What Is Ozone And How Does It Work - Paramount Fitness Clear 03 Installation Manual

WHAT IS OZONE AND HOW DOES IT WORK

• Ozone is created from oxygen using a simple yet powerful system of UV bulbs,
to be used as a pure shock (oxidizer) for the swimming pool.
• Ozone is injected into the pool water using the Clear O3
system, where the ozone enriched air is mixed with the water going into the
pool circulation pump. This creates a dynamic environment that best mixes the
air and water at high pressure as it is sent into the filter
• Once in the water, the ozone breaks down materials such as ammonia, oils, and
other non-living waste that are detrimental to chlorine's function in the pool.
This occurs between the pump and filter and also
in the filter. Chlorine is in a group of the least stable elements and must be
combined with another material to become stable. In swimming pools, this
process creates the formation of combined chlorines, like chloramines, which
do not sanitize and have adverse effects on human skin. Use of ozone allows
the chlorine to work primarily as a water disinfectant.
• Pool water treatment can be broken down into three primary categories:
1. Disinfectant- The killing of living organisms (virus, bacteria, algae). This
consumes only 10-20% of the chlorine normally placed in a pool.
2. Oxidation- The removal of non-living waste from pool water. This consumes up
to 70% of the chlorine placed in standard treated pools
3. Residual - The remaining, measurable sanitizer
is left in the pool as a safety net to maintain the water quality until it is brought
through the pool equipment again. Usually less than 10% of the chlorine
originally placed in a pool is left over
as residual.
Installing a Clear O3
chlorine needed to maintain
a pool by up to70%.
The benefits of using ozone include:
• Fewer chemicals to maintain the pool.
• Less work to maintain the pool water.
• More enjoyable water, being treated similar to bottled water.
• Longer filter cycles, and increased life for the salt chlorinator cells (if present).
