Ozone has been used for water treatment since
early in the 20th century. Initial applications were to
disinfect relatively clean spring or well water, but they increasingly
evolved to also oxidize contaminants common to surface waters. Since
World War II, ozonation has become a primary method to assure clean
water. Major fresh water and waste water treatment facilities are using ozone water
treatment methods. Ozone treatment facilities have been constructed throughout the world.

Taste and Odor Control
As a general rule, taste and
odor-causing compounds are organic in nature, although many inorganic
sulfides also are encountered which are highly odorous. Many of these
organic compounds which cause unacceptable tastes and odors are formed
from decay of natural vegetation and can easily be removed with ozone
proper filtration.

How Does Ozone Kill Germs
and Bacteria?
Ozone is made up of three Oxygen atoms. Once of
these has a weak hold on the others, and is more than willing to
transfer electrons with other organic substances, such as bacteria, and
viruses. This single Oxygen atoms binds with the other substance,
causing it to oxidize (turn into something else. Rust is an example of
Iron oxidizing into Iron Oxide). The byproduct of Oxidation in this case
is simply O2 a single Oxygen atom.
