Scientific theory states that Ozone has a half life of about 22 minutes in water. However recent tests have proven that a measurable residual can be found after several hours in clean water. Wide variations in pool water temperature will affect how well the ozone works. Ozone is pH neutral. It will not adversely affect the pH. 22.
