Introduction to Ozone Purification
Ozone purification is a powerful method for maintaining clean and healthy pool water. The Mineral Swim™ system integrates this technology to provide an effective, eco-friendly alternative to traditional pool sanitisation methods.
The Challenge of Traditional Pool Maintenance
As a pool owner, you are aware of the constant need to keep your pool clean and prevent algae, pathogens, and parasites that can make it unsafe for swimming. It is important to check the chemical balance weekly, add chemicals if needed, keep the pool interior clean, and ensure the filtration system works properly. You frequently question if there is a way to simplify pool upkeep while retaining a clean pool. If you've been thinking about pool upkeep, it might be time to consider looking into ozone purification.
What is Pool Ozone?
Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms that is both man-produced and naturally occurring in the Earth's upper and lower atmospheres. Because ozone is an oxidant, it can chemically eliminate pollutants in water, making it a highly effective agent for pool treatment. Unlike traditional sanitisers, ozone is administered to the water within the circulation system and returns to the pool in small concentrations. Because ozone can be hazardous in large amounts, it must be created and dissolved in water as soon as possible. Pool ozone is a gas that cannot be stored or transported and must be generated on-site with an ozone generator.
How Ozone Purification Works
Ozone generators, also known as ozonators, sterilise pool water as it circulates through the pool's system. Ozonators generate ozone using corona discharge. To understand how this works, remember that oxygen includes two oxygen atoms (O2), whereas ozone contains three (O3).
Generation
Oxygen is converted to pure ozone. Corona discharge ozonators create an environment for ozone formation by splitting the oxygen (O2) molecules in the air into individual atoms using a ring of energy produced by high-voltage electrical discharge. The isolated oxygen molecules re-join the O2 molecules in the air, creating ozone (O3).
Purification
Ozone immediately oxidises and neutralises harmful contaminants. After ozone is produced by a corona discharge ozonator, it must be dissolved in water to sterilise and destroy pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Ozone dissolution is accomplished through a technique known as venturi injection, in which pressurised water creates a vacuum, drawing new ozone into the pool water as it disperses throughout the system.
Reverts to Nature
Ozone breaks into oxygen after sanitising pollutants, resulting in softer, cleaner pool water with no residual odour.
