Ozone Overview
WHAT IS OZONE?
- Ozone is "active oxygen", nature's
special element. (Each ozone molecule consists of three oxygen
atoms.)
- Ozone is a natural purifier.
- Ozone is created in nature by the combination
of oxygen in air and the ultraviolet rays of the sun or by the
corona discharge that occurs during a lightning storm.
- Ozone has the clean, fresh scent noticed after
a rainstorm.
- Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer safely used.
- Ozone is the alternative water purifier to traditional
chemicals such as chlorine and bromine.
WHAT DOES OZONE DO?
- The Ozone layer in the atmosphere protects the
earth from deadly radiation and is what makes the sky look blue.
- Ozone destroys bacteria, viruses, mold, and
mildew.
- Ozone eliminates spores, cysts, yeast, and fungus.
- Ozone oxidizes iron, sulfur, manganese and hydrogen
sulfate.
- Ozone eliminates oils and other contaminants
in water.
- Ozone eliminates odors in air, such as smoke.
- Ozone keeps water clean and sparkling clear.
- Ozone keeps food and water fresh.
OZONE IS HEALTHY
- Ozone leaves no chemical by-products in water.
- Ozone leaves no chemical taste or smell.
- Ozone will not burn eyes or make them red or
irritated.
- Ozone will not irritate or dry out skin, nose,
or ears.
- Ozone will not leave a chemical film on material
or skin.
- Ozone will not discolor or damage hair or clothing.
- Ozone rids water and air of unhealthy microorganisms.
- Ozone is NOT a carcinogen.
OZONE IS SAFE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
AS WELL AS EQUIPTMENT
- Ozone will not explode.
- Ozone is not a fire hazard.
- In the dose required for excellent purification,
ozone does not produce harmful fumes.
- Ozone will not damage plumbing fittings or pipes.
WHERE IS OZONE USED?
- In 1906, Nice, France built the first water
purification plant to use ozone.
- Los Angeles, California has the largest ozone
drinking water treatment plant in the world.
- Most bottled water is purified by ozone.
- Ozone is used to clean water and toxic waste.
- Ozone purifies water in well and home drinking
water systems.
- Ozone systems have brought life back to "dead"
contaminated lakes and pools.
- Ozone is used to purify air in hotel rooms, boats,
RV's, cars, and smoke/fire damaged structures.
- Ozone is used in thousands of residential and
commercial pools and spas all over the world.
OZONE IS CONVENIENT IN POOLS AND SPAS
- Ozone does not have to be purchased or stored.
- Ozone is generated "on site" and is
introduced into the water or air automatically.
- Ozone does not affect the pH balance of water,
thus minimizing pH adjustments.
- Ozone helps reduce total dissolved solids in
water so that the water does not have to be changed as often.
- Ozone eliminates much of the routine maintenance
because it does such an effective job keeping the water clean.

What Doctors say
"O3 is a powerful germicidal. Its high germicidal activity is doubtless due to its oxidizing power."
E. Howlett, ME
"O3 owes its fame to its remarkable power of killing bacteria. That is why the world should look upon O3 as a gift to mankind. No matter how much bacteria there may be, direct application of O3 by Nature, or direct application of O3 reproduced in controlled environment will destroy any kind of bacteria, in any amount."
A. Vosmer, Ph.D.
"Pure O3 is not poisonous in any sense of the word as it breaks down in contact with the mucous membrane, and only Oxygen remains."
A. Hill, MD
"O3 is absolutely harmless when used correctly. We have demonstrated this over a period of many years in patients of all ages."
F.B. Carpenter, MD
