Answer: In most cases
Explanation: An ozonator is a great addition to your pool's sanitation system because it uses ozone gas to kill bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. However, it doesn't fully eliminate the need for additional chemicals. While an ozonator reduces the need for high levels of chlorine or bromine, you still need to maintain a minimal sanitizer level and manage overall water chemistry. Regular testing is essential to keep your pool safe and enjoyable. |

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Even with an ozonator, you still need to add some chemicals to your pool. While the ozonator helps reduce the amount of chlorine or other sanitizers required, it doesn’t fully eliminate the need for them. A small amount of chlorine or bromine is necessary to maintain proper sanitation, especially since ozone has no residual effect and doesn’t last long in the water. You should also monitor pH and alkalinity levels and adjust as needed.

Answer: Always
Explanation: Ozone by itself can not keep the water safe and health. Ozone only kills viruses and bacteria that come in contact with the ozone. UV lights with ozone are more effective as viruses and bacteria only have to come within 3 inches of a UV bulb to be killed during the 1st year bulbs need to be changed every 18 to 24 month. Chlorine with UV or Ozone will help keep you pool water healthy. Salt water pools do the best with UV or Ozone. |
