Ozonated water is a highly effective method of treating and sanitizing water. In fact, some of the largest treatment facilities in the world use ozone disinfection methods to treat water supplies, especially in European nations. There are many benefits to using ozone to treat water, whether in your home or on a larger scale. Let’s take a closer look at three key advantages of using an ozone water treatment system.

Kills Bacteria

Ozonating water has the ability to kill whatever may be inside your water. This includes viruses, bacteria, fungi, and algae. All of these can be very harmful if ingested, and treating water with ozone presents an opportunity to get rid of these contaminants while making our water cleaner.

Doesn’t Add Chemicals

Treating water with ozone water doesn’t require adding any harmful chemicals to the water either. Where some other water treatments use chemicals or other additives to make water more pure and clean, the only thing that ozone does is disinfect and destroy unwanted particles, taste issues, and odor issues.

More Effective than Chlorination

You may use chlorine to disinfect your pool water, for example, so you know that it is an effective way to eliminate bacteria or other problems in your water. However, did you know that using ozone on water is a more effective way to kill germs? The Water Research Center notes that ozone is a stronger germicide than chlorine and works in a very short period of time, making it rapidly effective, as well.

If you’re interested in purifying the water in your home, Ozone Pure Water can help. We offer water purification and filtration systems that will provide you and your family with clean, safe drinking water.

Ozone is a gas made out of three oxygen atoms that is naturally present in the atmosphere. Ozone that is located too close to the earth’s surface can actually be harmful to humans, animals, and plants, notes The Ozone Hole, but the ozone layer that is located in the Earth’s stratosphere is extremely important to the well-being of our planet. It’s why there is so much concern about the ozone layer deterioration that has taken place during the last few decades. There could be detrimental consequences for all of the living things on the planet if we aren’t careful about protecting the ozone layer. But why is ozone so critical?

The ozone layer is important because it absorbs ultraviolet-B radiation from the sun and stops a majority of the rays from reaching the Earth’s surface. Ultraviolet-B radiation can cause everything from skin cancer to cataracts in humans and it can damage plantlike, ecosystems, and even single-cell organisms. The ozone layer works as a shield for the planet, preventing much of this type of radiation from getting through to the Earth’s surface, and it also stops other contaminants from getting through, too. You may not be able to see the ozone layer, but it’s always there working to protect the people, animals, and plants that inhabit the Earth.

Ozone water purification performed by Ozone Pure Water’s equipment works in a similar way. Our devices help eliminate iron, sulfur, manganese, chemical chlorine taste, and other contaminants from your home or business water supply. Much like the ozone layer, it filters out everything that you don’t need in your water and helps to keep you, your family, or your staff safe from unwanted and harmful pollutants in the water.

Ozone Pure Water has been in business for more than three decades and can provide you with the ozone equipment you need to keep your water fresh, clean, and free of any potentially dangerous contaminations.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 15 or 20 years, you probably have an idea of just how important the ozone layer is to our planet. Ozone protects the Earth and, more importantly, the people, animals and all other living organisms from exposure to lethal UV radiation bombards the planet from the sun. If not for the ozone layer, UV radiation would kill off most living creatures outside of the world’s oceans and make it impossible for anyone to survive living on the surface. It’s why it’s so important for humans to be mindful of the pollution that is having a negative impact on the ozone layer.

Ozone is naturally formed in the atmosphere in two ways, as NOAA reports. First, stratospheric ozone – ozone that forms high up – reacts with UV rays and oxygen to create the ozone molecule (O₃, as opposed to oxygen’s O₂). Lower in the atmosphere, chemical reactions between hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide (and other gases) combine in sunlight to create what is known as tropospheric ozone.

While most of the talk surrounding the ozone layer involves the disappearance of it, there are several places on Earth where ozone forms naturally in the atmosphere very prominently. The highest ozone concentrations on the planet are usually found above places like Canada and Siberia, says The Ozone Hole. The ozone layer is especially thick in these areas, though it actually fluctuates based on the season. The ozone layer is typically about 25 percent thicker in the summer than it is in the winter over Canada and Siberia.

Conversely, there are also places where the ozone layer in very thin. For example, ozone layers are known to be thin around the equator, but regardless of where you are on the Earth, there is always some concentration of ozone present; it just fluctuates from place to place. Regardless, there is always some ozone naturally in the atmosphere above Earth due to the oxygen particles that exist there.

Much like the ozone layer that forms around the planet to protect it, Ozone Pure Water provides homeowners with products that create artificial ozone to protect you by purifying your air and water so that it’s as clean as it can possibly be. We offer whole home filtration systems that eliminate contaminants like iron, sulfur and manganese from water; ozone air pollution solutions that can get rid of mold, mildew, smoke, body odors and more from the air; and other excellent products designed to keep your air and water clean and pure.

Drinking water on a regular basis is really good for your body. That is, unless you are drinking water from a well or a plumbing system that has been contaminated.

If you are subjecting your body to contaminated water, Livestrong points outthat you could be putting microbial pathogens like salmonella, organic compounds like pesticides, inorganic compounds like lead, and even radioactive elements like radon into your system. These contaminants can cause short- and long-term health effects and wreak havoc inside of your body.

Sometimes you have no idea that your water is contaminated until side effects develop a short time after drinking it. If you drink in microbes, for example, they will almost always make you ill immediately with symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting right after ingesting them. Other contaminants, however, can slowly build up in your body over time and cause huge problems down the road. The consumption of contaminated water has been linked thyroid diseases, cancer and more, which is why it’s very important for you to steer clear of drinking it at all costs.

Ozone Pure Water helps home and business owners to put their fears aside and get rid of the potential risk of contaminated water. We offer a variety of different types of ozone water filtration and purification, including cartridge filters, granular filter media and ultra-filtration, and we have filter tanks and control valves designed to remove iron, sulfur, biofilm and other contaminants from water. Our whole-house treatment systems will ensure that no contaminants make their way into your drinking water and allow you to enjoy the peace of mind that comes along with installing an ozone filtration/purification system. Plus, if you’re not sure of the quality of your water, our free water testing can give you a clear look at the quality of your water to identify contaminants or issues.

You’re probably familiar with the word “ozone” and know what the ozone layer that surrounds the Earth is. But did you know that the human discovery of ozone dates back almost 200 years?

Ozone was first discovered in 1840 by a chemist named Christian Friedrich Schonbein who called it ozone, deriving the name from the Greek word “ozein” that means scent, according to history posted by Epson and Ewell History Explorer in the United Kingdom. Schonbein detected a very unique smell when he first discovered it and named it accordingly.

In the years that followed Schonbein’s discovery, there were a lot of studies done on ozone and, in particular, its ability to serve as a disinfectant. The first ozone generator was built in Germany by inventor Ernst Werner von Siemens, according to the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems, an effort of UNESCO. He pointed out that ozone might have practical applications when used to clean water.

Researchers in countries like the Netherlands and France continued studying its properties, and by the early 1900s, the French city of Nice started using ozone to clean water. It is often referred to as the “place of birth of ozone for drinking water treatment” today.

Other countries started using ozone soon after to clean their water supplies. While the discovery of chlorine led to some nations and cities moving away from using ozone for water treatment purposes, the potential side effects of chlorine disinfection – specifically, the production of harmful byproducts called trihalomethanes – forced many people around the world to reconsider the benefits of using ozone for treating water.

Ozone has been proven to disinfect water and remove microorganisms, including many of those that have developed a resistance to other disinfectants. It’s been a long road, but ozone has found its rightful place in the world of water treatment.

At Ozone Pure Water, we can show you how to get the water in your home as clean and filtered as it can possibly be through the use of ozone. Our whole house filtration systems can remove iron, sulfur and dangerous byproducts from your water supply, as well as eliminate biological contaminants.

Swimming pools are popular for both recreation and fitness, but maintaining a safe pool environment requires treating the water to avoid the growth of harmful bacteria and other microorganisms. The traditional way of treating pool water has been with chemicals like chlorine or bromine. An increasingly popular option, however, is to use an ozone treatment unit. These are some of the benefits of ozone pool systems.

EASY TO INSTALL AND USE

An Ozone Pure Water pool unit is designed to be easy to install. You can quickly and easily enjoy the benefits of ozone filtration in your pool. Our pool units are also designed to require only minimal maintenance.

COST EFFECTIVE

Pool chemicals are expensive and require frequent testing to be sure the levels are not too low or high. An Ozone Pure Water pool unit is a cost effective solution for maintaining clear, clean, safe water in your swimming pool. Ozone filtration is more cost effective than chemical treatment.

LESS CHEMICALS

You may still use chemicals in your pool in conjunction with an ozone treatment unit, but you will be able to use less than before. Reducing the chemicals that are added to the water not only saves time and money, it also reduces the risks of chemical exposure. Unpleasant chemical effects like rashes and red eye can be a thing of the past with an ozone pool filtration unit.

OZONE IS EFFECTIVE

Ozone treatment is also more effective than chlorine for treating a number of dangerous microorganisms that can be a problem with pools. It is also effective at destroying many contaminants like oils that are found in pools.

Ozone Pure Water has been a pioneer in the water treatment industry for more than three decades. Our filtration units are the ideal way to maintain the water in your pool safely and effectively. Contact us today at 800-633-8469 to learn more about our pool units or other water treatment products.
