The advantages using PIE Ozonation System

 Effective destroy chlorine-resistance microorganisms

Ozone combined with Chlorine can generate the Advance Oxidization Process (AOP). Research has indicated that ozone-AOP treatment is more effective against amoebae, the waterborne organism, than chlorine treatment. Chlorine is not effective to remove some virus (e.g. Poliovirus), amoebae (e.g. Naegleria fowleri) and cysts (e.g. Giardia lambia cysts and Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts). For example, Naegleria fowleri, which is a small, free-living amoeba commonly found in soil, fresh water, especially waters that are somewhat stagnant, and in areas of warm climate. Ozone is further reducing the likelihood of colonization by Naegleria Fowler amoeba, which could result in an infective concentration.

Reduce volatile smell

Free chlorine can combine with ammonia to form compounds, known as chloramines, which cause eye stinging and volatile smell, and this reduces the ability of chlorine to disinfect in pools. Chloramines are also known as "combined residual chlorine" and should be kept to a minimum. More chlorine should be added to oxidize them over a period of time without bathers in the pool. The use of ozone prevents the formation of chlorine containing byproducts, like chloramines and trihalomethane (THM). Ozone will even breakdown already formed unwanted chlorinated byproducts in order to eliminate volatile smell.

Reduce chorine consumption and keep chlorine in lower level

Many countries have formulated the guidelines for swimming pool operation. For example, in Hong Kong, Government has requested that the swimming pools using ozone for disinfection, ensure that the water should contain not less than 0.5 parts per million (ppm) of chlorine. However, for the swimming pools using only chlorine for disinfection, ensure that the water should contain not less than 1.0 ppm of chlorine. In addition, dose chlorine will increase the pH of water and this will counter-reduce the oxidizing capability of chlorine. Ozone does not affect the pH balance of water, thus minimizing pH adjustments.

Destruct organic by-products

Chlorine is an oxidizing agent that works by oxidizing organic matter, be it the cell wall of a bacteria, or organic matter derived from the mains water supply or the bathers. The organic matter is oxidized down to smaller components until it becomes carbon dioxide, nitrogen trichloride, THM, chloramines or other inorganic or organic chlorine complexes. These byproducts have known to be hazardous with human health. Ozone is a strong oxidizer to reduce the level of organics.

 Improve water clarity

Ozone destroys many organic compounds and microorganisms that would typically react with chlorine, resulting in a reduction of the chlorine demand and total dissolved solids. Lower chlorine demand allows the pools to achieve disinfection of the water with minimal chlorine residual, and the reduction of total dissolved solids improves the water clarity.
