Why Ozone is the healthiest option for you pool

Ozone can be viewed as the most powerful oxidising and disinfecting agent available for pool & spa water treatment*. Ozone will act as the primary oxidiser and disinfectant destroying impurities and microorganisms allowing the pool owner to reduce the chlorine demand needed in their pool.

  • Ozone destroys 99.9% of viruses and bacteria

  • If pool water is treated only with chlorine takes approximately 16 minutes for viruses to be killed.

  • Ozone is 3,500 times faster at killing bacteria

  • Ozone can be viewed as the most powerful oxidising and disinfecting agent available for pool & spa water treatment

Ozone, the key component of a Mineral Swim system and Pool Controls OZONE ONE which destroys 99.9% of viruses and bacteria and has been proven to kill viruses including SARS which has an almost identical structure to COVID-19.

Ozone is widely used in many industries where germs are likely to spread, including Aquatic Centres, Hospitals, and the Airline Industry.

Ozone is 3,500 times faster at killing bacteria than chlorine making it one of the most powerful and effective sanitation systems on the market.

If pool water is treated just with chlorine alone, at certain levels, it will take approximately 16 minutes for viruses to be killed.

Viruses are chlorine resistant, meaning they are not easily destroyed by chlorine alone. However, when combined with a secondary sanitation system like the Pool Controls OZONE ONE the risk of contracting a virus is significantly decreased.

“Ozone is a stronger oxidiser than chlorine, it substantially reduces chlorine demand and allows chlorine to be more efficient in residual disinfection allowing for lower chlorine levels…”

Effect of Ozone on Bacteria & Viruses

Ozone is a water purification system that’s 10 x stronger than chlorine as a disinfectant & kills bacteria on contact leaving no residual traces as chlorine does. It’s the residual from chlorine (combined chlorine/chloramine) that’s responsible for that nasty smell and irritating the skin and eyes.

Viruses are different, unlike bacteria, they multiply only within the host cell and they transform the protein of that host cell into proteins of their own. Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core resulting in damage to the virus.

What about other Health Benefits?

Ozone when combined with a Mineral Swim System has many other well-documented health benefits, the water feels softer to swim in, and it's gentle on the skin and the eyes, particularly for the 1 in 4 Australians that suffer from skin conditions like eczema & psoriasis and finally, the Magnesium is a natural flocculant so your water clarity will be crystal clear.

Other Benefits

  • Extends the life of your chlorinator.

  • Ozone leaves no trace, no taste, no smell.

  • The OZONE ONE by Pool Controls can be fitted to almost any chlorination system.

  • It’s an easy upgrade for salt or mineral pools.

Fun Fact: All bottled water is treated by Ozone!
