Why is the Ozone Generator used in swimming pools?

Posted by markwahl barg on December 22nd, 2018

It is demonstrated that the water of a public or private pool is necessary to treat it given that it can be an ideal vehicle for the transmission of diseases. Therefore, a disinfection process is applied mainly with chlorinated products, in addition to other chemical products such as algaecides, flocculants, reducers or elevators of the PH, etc.

That is the reason why Dolphin Robot Pool Cleaner requires cleaning the pool.

All these products are a double-edged sword since, at the same time they disinfect, they imply an increase of chemical components that can be harmful to health. For these reasons, ozone O3 Maytronics Dolphin Pool Cleaner has been used as a disinfection element in swimming pools.

Ozone is the most oxidizing agent that exists, being able to destroy algae and bacteria, inactivate viruses and oxidize numerous organic and inorganic contaminants present in pool water, also destroying the bad odors in indoor pools, all without leaving residues chemicals or contaminants, being able to use pool water for other applications such as irrigation.

It should be noted that ozone has a very short life and that it eventually decomposes to oxygen O2.

Problems inherent in water in swimming pools:

We all think that swimming pools are a place for recreation and fun but it can also mean a focus of diseases, especially when it comes to public swimming pools or private heated pools.

In the case of public pools, the problems are determined by the contributions or human contamination due to the high number of users. In the case of heated swimming pools, the small human contamination is increased by the high temperature of the water that favors the proliferation of bacteria, fungi, etc.

As information, we will indicate that the contribution of each bather is 350 million bacteria and about 0.5 g of organic matter between hairs, skin, cosmetics, etc. Likewise, a swimmer, consciously or unconsciously, contributes a total of 60 ml of urine, sweat, saliva or secretions.

All these contributions of organic matter to water, with temperatures superiors to 25 degrees centigrade favor the proliferation of bacteria, creating turbid waters and with a high ph. under these conditions, the chlorine derivatives have a high toxicity since it is combined with organic substances (urine, sweat) creating chloramines of active free chlorine.

That is 100 times less active than normal chlorine that generates irritations in the ocular mucous membranes, nose, and throat, also giving the typical smell of swimming pools, with chlorine combined with nitrogen compounds such as urea.

So the poolozone generator is used in swimming pools so that you do not have any disease.
