Ozone Systems An ozone system which uses ozone, a chemical-free alternative, to provide better water for your whole house to reduce iron (rust), manganese, and hydrogen sulfide in your water supply. The ozone system comes complete with a filter and ozone generator for easy installation and operation. Learn about "ozone" by reading the Info page on this web site. Your laundry will be fresher and cleaner. Clothes will have fewer stains. In your home, the fixtures, sinks, and toilets will have less rust and dirty stains. Taking a shower will be more refreshing. Your hair can be bright and shiny if you use water with less iron and manganese in the water. Unpleasant odors and the "rotten egg" smell will be reduced. The ozone system also helps other filtration and point-of-use purification systems (RO and UV disinfection units) work more efficiently, by reducing the amount of iron, mangangese, and hydrogen sulfide clogging those systems. The amazing ozone system uses a mixture of air and ozone (three atoms of oxygen) to filter the water in your storage tank. The ozone system is simple to install and operate. It does, however, require periodic maintenance and some components (a small lamp, for example) must be replaced every year and one half. This ozone system works best with at least a 1000 gallon (or 3500 liter) water storage tank - used by a typical family of four people. If larger amounts of water are used each day, for example, for more people in the home or for gardening, please contact us before ordering. NOTE: This is not intended as a drinking water treatment system. Please see the explanation on the "Info" page of the Online Store. Do you have: • Rust stains on sinks and toilets? • Laundry that is stained? • Dirty water when you take a shower? Do you want better water for your whole house? Then, treat your water with ozone. Blue Diamond ozone systems are: • Easy to Install and Maintain • Cost Effective • Protected With One Year Limited Warranty Ozone can reduce: • Iron, manganese, algae, and hydrogen sulfide • Tannins, stains, colors, and smells • Chlorine taste and harmful by-products (THMs) What Is Ozone? • Ozone (comprised of three oxygen atoms) is a gas created naturally in the atmosphere when oxygen is exposed to lightning or the Sun’s high-intensity, ultraviolet rays. • Ozone has been the preferred method for treating water in Europe and the United States since 1904 and it is not used in more than 2,500 cites worldwide. • Ozone can be used instead of chlorine to oxidize iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) without the chlorine taste and smell. Benefits of Ozone Treatment Depending upon the water chemistry and other factors, ozone can be used to improve the performance of other ozone systems and conditioning systems, such as: • Water softeners and conditioners • Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems • Ion Exchange • Multi-Media Filters • UV Disinfection Filters Typical Ozone System A Blue Diamond ozone system consists of an ozone generator and a filter inside an atmospheric water storage tank. SPECIFICATIONS * Ozone Generator Size: 12”H 18”W 4”D Weight: 20 lbs Ozone: 3 Grams/24 hours @ 3 LPM Power: 80 Watts * Filter Size: 14”H 10” Diameter Weight: 8 pounds Maintenance: Routine maintenance requires a new ozone generator lamp every 18 months Limited Warranty: One Year Approved Use for Blue Diamond Systems: Blue Diamond ozone water treatment systems are sold to use for the whole house, to reduce smells and colors in water coming from iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide (the rotten egg smell) and impurities. The water can be used to wash the laundry, take showers, and keep the toilets and sinks clean. Use the water to wash the car, clean fruits and vegetables, and water your garden. Blue Diamond systems are not sold for drinking water purposes and the ozone systems are not approved for this reason. This is because water can have bacteria, viruses, and/or protozoa in the water that are not killed or destroyed without adequate testing, design, engineering, and maintenance of a proper water treatment system. Blue Diamond ozone systems use an ozone generator to aerate the water in your holding tank with tiny ozone bubbles. These bubbles oxidize impurities and then they are removed by filtration.
