What
is it?
Ozone
(O3), one of nature's basic elements, is a very powerful disinfecting
and deodorizing gas consisting of oxygen (O2) with an extra oxygen
atom attached, therefore becoming ozone (O3). When oxygen in the
air is exposed to high intensity ultraviolet rays, ozone is created
(such as our sun creating the ozone layer). When ozone does it's
job, it oxidizes by giving up and attaching it's extra oxygen atom
to anything that can be oxidized. Once this process occurs, the
ozone molecule becomes oxygen (O3 - O = O2). Thus, the only by-product
of ozone is pure oxygen. In fact, ozone reverts to pure oxygen quite
rapidly and naturally: The half life of ozone in air is on the order
of hours and on the order of minutes when dissolved in water. Additionally,
ozone dissolves over 12 times more readily into water than pure
oxygen, then reverts to oxygen, providing hundreds of times more
dissolved oxygen in your water than could otherwise be possible.
This high oxygen content of your water provides many of the benefits
made possible with the Triple O system.
THE
BENEFITS OF OZONE:
Municipal
water companies have used ozone technology to treat large quantities
of water for many years because of its effectiveness in purifying
and conditioning water. Triple O Systems has selected ozone technology
for use in treating well/tank water because of its unique properties
to:
- Kill
bacteria on contact thousands of times faster than chlorine or
bromine.
- Kill
virus on contact.
- Kill
algae spores, fungus, mold and yeast spores.
- Precipitate
heavy metals.
- Remove
excess iron, manganese, and sulfur by a process known as micro-flocculation,
thus conditioning the water naturally without chemical additives.
- Remove
color and odor, leaving a fresh, healthy bouquet.
- Reduce
scale build-up on equipment such as pipes and water heaters, and
staining of showers, sinks, bathtubs and toilets.
- Ozone
leaves no residue, it's only by-product is pure oxygen.
