Ozone generators are used in swimming pools for treating the pool water with ozone. They generate ozone molecules for dispersion into swimming pool water.

Ozone (O3) is a very effective disinfection agent. It is often used in swimming pools, spas, aquaria and fish ponds with reduced levels of chlorine or bromine for keeping the water free of bacteria and germs.

The use of ozone in swimming pools helps preventing the formation of chlorine or bromine containing byproducts, like chloramines and trihalomethanes. It also breaks down already formed unwanted chlorinated byproducts. It helps reducing problems with red eyes and respiration problems.

Ozone use helps minimizing bacterial growth, contorting parasites, and removing or reducing “yellowing" of the water. Thus it helps making swimming pool water remarkably clear and pure. Ozone is ineffective at preventing bather cross-contamination and thus must be used in conjunction with another sanitizer.

Ozone does not remain in the water after treatment. It decomposes quickly. The correct and controlled levels of application of the gas are absolutely safe.

Hence, swimming pool ozone generators are wonderful devices assuring extremely safe swimming. One of the major advantages of swimming pool ozone generators is that the swimming pools equipped with nice ozone generators require less fresh water replacement; the fresh water replacement is necessary and it involves a lot of heating costs.

Technically, ozone gas is generated by an ultraviolet light bulb or corona discharge chip and injected into the plumbing system. Ozone generated by swimming pool generators disinfects or breaks down harmful bacteria or pollutants; there are generally no by-products, unlike most disinfecting agents. Thus ozone generates facilitates creating completely safe water for swimming.

The use of ozone generators for swimming pools has dramatically increased as compared to the other swimming pool treatment agents. There are a number of ozone generators on the market. DEL Ozone, Leisure Time, Raypak, Swim N Play, and Waterway are some of the major brands producing ozone generators for Swimming pools, Spas, Jacuzzis, etc.
