Whats the story on ozonators?
Ozonators are electric-powered devices for helping to sanitize spa water by introducing a form of oxygen called ozone into the water. When they first arrived on the spa scene, many people thought they were a panacea for water disinfecting. Although this has proven to be an overstatement, ozonators do have their place, and will help reduce chemical amounts needed. Since ozone has no residual sanitizing ability, it only works while the spa is in operation. In order for the ozone to do its job, the spa should be run 6 or more hours per day. Ozonators must be used in conjunction with another sanitizer such as bromine or chlorine as well as a shock treatment. See our Ozonator Installation Guide.
