Hot Tub Corona Discharge Ozone Systems - Naturally Clean Spa

Does your tub have a corona discharge ozonator? This could save you both time and money, as well as make
your hot tub less reliant on chemicals. CD Ozone systems are like a miniature lightning storm creating large
volumes of ozone which kills bacteria in the hot tub. If the tub you’re looking at does not have this option
available be sure it at least has a UV ozone system available. This will reduce your dependency on large
volumes of hot tub chemicals.

Sanitation working for you
Corona discharge ozonators have been on the
market for quite some time and are the most
effective ozone systems available. They produce up
to 75% more ozone than a standard UV ozone
system. This makes the sanitation of your hot tub
their main priority, thus reducing the amount of
chemicals used on a weekly basis. Check out the
“Who’s got what” section to see what manufacturers
have this.

The technologies involved in corona discharge ozone generation are varied, but all operate fundamentally by
passing dried, oxygen-containing gas through an electrical field. The electrical current causes the “split” in
the oxygen molecules as described in the section on ultraviolet ozone generation. Past this common feature
the variations are many, but the generally accepted technologies can be divided into three types - low
frequency (50 to 100 Hz), medium frequency (100 to 1,000 Hz), and high frequency (1,000 + Hz). Since 85%
to 95% of the electrical energy supplied to a corona discharge ozone generator produces heat, some method
for heat removal is required. Also, proper cooling significantly affects the energy efficiency of the ozone
generator, so most corona discharge systems utilize one or more of the following cooling methods: Air or
water.

* Corona discharge ozone generators can use oxygen preparation thereby doubling the ozone output per given
volume vs. dry air
* Small construction allowing generator to be installed in virtually any area
* Creates a more pure form of ozone without creating other harmful or irritating gases
* Corona cell life can exceed ten years
* Can create high quantities of ozone (up to 100-lbs/day)
* Can be more cost-effective than UV-ozone generation
