An oxygen pool system cleans water by using advanced oxidation processes.
Understanding Oxygen Pool Systems
Oxygen pool systems differ from traditional chlorine-based systems by employing oxygen and hydrogen peroxide to sanitize and purify pool water. Instead of relying solely on chlorine, these systems leverage the powerful oxidizing properties of ozone (O3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to eliminate contaminants.
Key Components and Processes
The core function of an oxygen pool system involves creating multiple layers of oxidation. This is achieved through the following processes:
- Ozone Generation: The system generates ozone (O3), a potent oxidizer. Ozone directly oxidizes contaminants in the water.
- Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP): A safe level of residual hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is maintained in the water. When combined with ozone, this creates an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). This AOP significantly enhances the system's ability to oxidize and remove contaminants. This process is unmatched in its effectiveness.
Benefits of Oxygen Pool Systems
- Reduced Chemical Usage: Lower reliance on traditional chemicals like chlorine.
- Gentle on Skin and Hair: Eliminates the harsh side effects associated with chlorine.
- Environmentally Friendly: Reduces chemical discharge into the environment.
- Clearer Water: Provides clearer, cleaner, and healthier pool water.
Comparison Table: Oxygen Pool Systems vs. Traditional Chlorine Systems
| Feature | Oxygen Pool System | Traditional Chlorine System |
|---|---|---|
| Sanitization Method | Ozone (O3) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) | Chlorine |
| Chemical Usage | Lower | Higher |
| Water Quality | Clearer, healthier | Can have chemical smell and irritation |
| Environmental Impact | Lower | Higher |
