Air yang berbau seperti air, tidak berbau. Tidak banyak yang sadar bahwa air kolam tidak harus sangat tertutup dengan bahan kimia beracun seperti klorin. Air sehat dan alami yang segar sangat banyak kenyataan dengan ozon. Mereka yang sensitif terhadap bahan kimia akan menikmati kolam ozon lebih banyak karena mengurangi penggunaan bahan kimia dan biaya operasi yang keras. Digunakan bersamaan dengan perawatan kimia kolam tradisional, ozonator menyediakan sistem pengolahan air alami yang dapat secara efektif meningkatkan kinerja bahan kimia, sementara pada saat yang sama menghilangkan efek samping yang tidak menyenangkan yang seringkali banyak memanfaatkan kolam dan spa. Sistem ozon yang terpasang dengan baik akan menghilangkan bau kimiawi, menyediakan air bersih yang lebih aman, dan pada saat yang sama mengurangi konsumsi kimiawi kolam renang. Ozon akan meningkatkan kolam renang atau air spa Anda, membuatnya lebih aman, mudah perawatannya, dan kesenangan untuk digunakan.

Chlorine is the most universally used chemical in swimming pools and weather we like it or not it is likely to be around for some time yet.

Chlorine is both a good sanitizer, and a powerful oxidizer, but these processes can unfortunately produce by-products that are unhealthy, unpleasant, and for these reasons, unpopular. Some of these unwanted by-products can be reduced by using Bromine, but not completely.

The contaminants that are found in pools can generally be classified as Organic, Inorganic, or Microbiological. Organic contaminants are recognized as body wastes such as perspiration, body oil, urine or nasal secretions, sunscreen creams etc, or introduced organic debris. When chlorine oxidises organic contaminants, chlorinated organics (THM’s) can be produced. Some of these are known carcinogens, and therefore most undesirable. Oxidation of nitrogenous waste matter (body wastes, sweat etc) can cause the formation of Chloramines. These are the products that cause the familiar “swimming pool smell” and are the source of the unpleasant chemical side effects such as stinging eyes, ear and skin irritations, among others.

Considering that the human body can absorb half a litre of pool water every hour, you would want to swim in safe, chemical free water. The “good news” is that these unwelcome by-products can be controlled with the correct use of Ozone in your pool or spa.

This is because Ozone is a much more powerful oxidizer than Chlorine, and much faster acting (about 3000 times faster). If used in conjunction with these chemicals, Ozone is able to oxidize these contaminants harmlessly before the chlorine is able to do so, thus purifying your pool or spa water to mountain-spring quality, while still preventing unwanted effects of chlorine oxidations. Ozone should therefore be employed as the primary oxidizer and another chemical, such as Chlorine or Bromine, used as a back-up “residual” sanitizer. The difference now is that the chemicals are added to already oxidized water, so that Chloramines are prevented from forming in the first place.

An ozone system works very well in synergy with salt water chlorinators, copper-silver ionisers and UV systems. These 'dual sanitation' systems offer much better water quality due to the strong oxidizer contribution from the ozone.

Novozone manufactures a wide range of ozonators for spa pools, swim spa’s, domestic and commercial swimming pools. Learn more.

An ozone system is easily installed or retrofitted by your pool builder or service person. The ozonator is fixed on a wall near the rest of the pool equipment and a venturi injector is installed in the pool return line. Whenever the pool pump is running ozone is drawn into the water where it oxidizes any contaminants in the water.
