Myths about treating Algae with Ozone
A client recently asked me if Ozone can kill algae since he had come across some information that stated otherwise,
I decided to search and view some of the articles that he could have read. I came across an entertaining article that stated in plain English that if you do not inject enough Ozone into the pool, Algae will not be killed! Then comes the conclusion that Ozone does not kill Algae… This was done by a leading Ozone Generator manufacturer, I was appalled. So I completed further research to find that Ozone in fact does kill algae, a 5 mg/l dose will kill the Algae in 5 minutes, and having a residual ozone concentration of 0.05 PPM will keep Algae away from your pool forever.
This is research done by the American Water Works Association Research Foundation.
If an Ozone Generator Manufacturer is not willing to do the research for their “Ozone Handbook” this would lead you to believe that they are not willing to make the extra effort for your Ozone application.
