This type of filtration is extremely effective in the removal of contaminants such as asbestos fibres. Minute fibres will quickly plug paper style filters, but the ceramics have the added benefit of being cleanable and re-useable. Additionally ceramic candles with micron ratings between 1 and .45 micron also qualify as a certified product for the disinfection water which may be contaminated with bacteria. Air is drawn into a ozone generator at which point the air is charged with high voltage. As the air is drawn through the ozone generator, the high voltage splits some oxygen molecules into oxygen atoms.
Ozone is secondary only to fluorine as the most powerful oxidant.
Ozone inactivates and oxidizes organic metals, contaminates and pesticides, viruses and bacteria faster than chlorine. Ozone also functions as a micro flocculating agent to polish the water and improve clarity and taste. Kills every harmful organism known. Used in home and industrial water treatment. Also used in air treatment.
