What is Ozone?
Ozone (O₃) is a special form of oxygen made up of three oxygen atoms instead of the two atoms found in the oxygen we breathe (O₂).
Because ozone contains an extra oxygen atom, it is highly reactive and unstable. This extra oxygen atom can quickly break away and react with contaminants, making ozone a powerful oxidizer used to eliminate odors, bacteria, hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and other unwanted compounds.
Unlike oxygen, ozone naturally breaks down over time and returns to regular oxygen, leaving no chemical residue behind.
Many people recognize ozone by its distinct fresh smell, often noticed after a thunderstorm or near equipment that generates ozone. While colorless at typical treatment levels, ozone appears light blue at very high concentrations.
The combination of strong oxidation power and natural decomposition makes ozone an effective solution for water treatment, odor control, and disinfection applications.
