Ozone for Pools

Swimming water quality can be sufficiently increased by ozonization. This is not only a benefit when it comes to swimming, but it also guarantees healthy swimming water. Recent research has shown that children’s immune systems may be affected by swimming in chlorinated swimming pools. The health risks are also increased for swimmers that train twice a day.

Allthough purchasing an ozone system is relatively expensive compared to other techniques, one can save costs on a long term.

These are the main benefits of ozonisation:

- Decrease in chlorine use
- Improval of the filter and coagulant capacities. This leads to a reduction of coagulant use and less backwashing of the filter is required
- Water use can be decreased, because of an increase in water quality
- Ozone oxidizes organic and inorganic matter in the water, without the formation of unwanted byproducts, such as chloramines (which cause a chlorine-scent)
- Chlorine scents can be fully diminished by ozone application
- Ozone is a more powerful oxidant and disinfectant than chlorine. Certain chlorine-resistant pathogens cannot multiply in water that is treated with ozone.
