Hot Tub Ozonator Means Less Sanitizing ChemicalsOwners of hot tubs can consider purchasing an ozonator for their spas in order to purify the water. This addition to the hot tub eliminates the need for defoaming chemicals, sanitizers, water clarifiers, or other substances that are used to make sure that the water in the tub is clean. Also, people generally use chlorine, as is used in pools, and bromine to make sure that the water is sanitary but the advantage of an ozonator is that it can achieve the same effect as these chemicals, and there is no need for adding as much of the chemicals to the water. Not having the presence of the sanitizers in the water is much easier and lighter on the eyes and the body. Many people know the feeling of getting chlorine in the eyes, but the ozonator removes the need for chlorine at all by a very large percentage, up to 90%. Using less of these substances will get rid of the smell of the sanitizing compounds. The level of sanitation can be increased by using an ozonator for about 3 hours twice a day, usually every period of 12 hours. By adhering to this practice, there is not as much of a need to add sanitizers to the water. For example, chlorine levels are able to be maintained at 0.5 ppm and bromine at 1.5 ppm. The ozonator itself works hard to make sure that the hot tub is being purified. These pieces of equipment work in a specific way. There is an ozone layer that surrounds the atmosphere around Earth and it serves to protect the planet. This same gas is inserted into the hot tub to protect the water and to make it more sanitary. It kills any bacteria that is lingering in the water and once the hot tub is cleaned in this manner, the water will stay more fresh and purified for a longer time that if the water was cleaned with the use of chemical compounds. The ozonator allows for this process to take place and for the ozone gas to be inserted into the water. This method is said to be 3,000 times more effective and powerful than regular water purifiers. The way that this appliance works is by transferring oxygen into the ozone gas. This is done by using a light bulb that emits ultraviolet rays or by using another electric appliance that can perform the same task. Once the oxygen is transformed to ozone gas, the gas is inserted into the water via a specific tube or water jet. Some hot tubs come already equipped with this part, but for those that don't include it, it is easy to purchase and to have installed. This process can last for about 12 hours so it needs to be continued repeatedly. |
