Ozone Frequently Asked Questions

Will Ozone replace my current sanitizer?

No.  Ozone has a very short half-life in water (about 15 minutes) and it is
not totally effective as a sanitizer by itself. You will still need to use a
system such as chlorine or bromine.  However, you will find that you can
use a lot less chemicals-- often up to 25% less, and this will pay for your
ozone system over time, and make spa maintenance much more trouble
free. Actual reductions will depend on many factors, including water
quality and bather load.

How long should I operate my ozonator each day?

To be effective, you should run your ozonator at least 4-6 hours per day.  
If your spa filter/pump is controlled by a timer, a good method is to set it to
run for two 2 to 4 hour cycles, 12 hours apart, each day.  Check your spa
owner's manual.  Our CoronaZone ozone system includes an adjustable air
intake filter so you can adjust the flow of ozone into your spa, and it
eliminates the "burping" that occurs with other ozonators.

Can I add an ozonator to my hot tub?

Yes!  90% of all new spas come "ozone ready" requiring only a simple
hookup of an  ozonator kit, and sometimes also with an injector.  With spas
not so equipped, there are several ozone installation options available, and
one of them will likely be suitable for your system.

guide you through the process.

Is the ozone produced in my spa safe to me and the environment?


The amount of ozone produced by a hot tub ozone generator is
insignificant to the normal atmosphere we live in. When dissolved in water,
ozone is extremely safe. Excess ozone quickly converts back to oxygen.  

If I use an ozonator in my spa, will I help replenish the Earth's
protective ozone layer?

Unfortunately not. Because ozone reacts so quickly with contaminants in
water and air, it converts back to oxygen within minutes or even seconds.
Any ozone molecules that break free from the spa water will convert to
oxygen and never reach the upper atmosphere.

Will ozone affect my pH?

Ozone is pH neutral. It will not adversely affect the pH of your hot tub
water.
