Each time ammonia and nitrogen enter the ozonated water, they are oxidized immediately. Ozone oxidizes soap, deodorant, hair spray, cologne makeup, perfume, body lotion, hand cream, sun tan lotion saliva and urine. In addition, ozone kills all pathogenic bacteria, germs and virus. Ozone takes care of the big job of oxidizing all these organic contaminants. Ozone frees up the combined chlorine leaving the chlorine free to provide a residual.
Ozone ultimately enhances the performance of chlorine and bromine.
Less chlorine or bromine will be needed to maintain a residual. Commonly, ozone reduces chlorine or bromine use by 50-90 percent. The quality of water will be dramatically better with the combination of ozone and chlorine or the combination of ozone and bromine than that with chlorine and bromine alone.
