LET'S DISCUSS OZONE (O3)
WHAT SCIENCE TELLS US
Ozone is well known for its protective role in the earth’s ecological environment. Being a powerful oxidant, it is able to react with organic molecules containing double or triple bonds. This is the origin of its bactericidal, viricidal, and fungicidal actions, which are used in bacterial treatment, odor control and medicinal applications.
ADVANTAGES OF OZONE (O3)
HYGIENIC
Ozone is the most powerful oxidant for disinfecting water or sanitizing surfaces.
EFFECTIVE
Ozone can kill pathogens in seconds vs several minutes for other oxidants.
RELIABLE
Ozone is one of the strongest oxidants available for oxidizing organics.
SAFETY
By itself,
Ozone does not affect pH levels in any way or form.
