what is ozone

 Ozone is produced with a high voltage electrical discharge called a “corona discharge” or “CD”. The idea is to actually create a small, controlled lightning storm, which involves producing a constant, controlled spark (corona) across a gap through which air is passed. The electrical discharge splits the oxygen molecules, nitrogen molecules are also being split, forming several species of nitrogen oxides.

These oxides form a very corrosive substance called nitric acid. Ozone is a much more powerful oxidizer than chlorine. Ozone will reduce most organic compounds to carbon dioxide, water and a little heat. As ozone sheds the atom of oxygen causing it’s molecular instability during the oxidation process, it becomes oxygen again.
