Ozone is an excellent disinfectant with the superior ability to kill viruses and biological contaminants found in water. It is also a very powerful oxidant that can oxidize metals in water such as manganese, iron, and sulfur into insoluble particles, aiding in their filtrationand removal from water.
As O3 inhalation is accompanied by dangerous side-effects and since O3 is a gas, its benefits are limited. To increase the effectiveness and safety of ozone treatment,ozone may be dissolved in water.
