Design Matters: Ozone Disinfection
In designing the Eureka cold plunge tub our goal was to make maintenance as simple and effective as possible, so every Eureka cold plunge tub has an integrated Ultra Pure ozone generator. Ozone is an inorganic gas that has a long history of use in water treatment systems, swimming pools and hot tubs. It is a reactive form of oxygen that binds to contaminants and effectively sterilizes them through oxidation.
The Ultra Pure ozone generator creates ozone by exposing O2 oxygen molecules to ultraviolet light to create O3. The ozone gas is then injected into the tub’s high flow water stream using a Venturi injector, where it destroys or inactivates biological contaminants such as pathogenic bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses.
Using ozone significantly reduces the amount of chemical sanitizers required to keep your cold water spa clean, and also prevents the formation of chlorine or bromine byproducts like chloramines and trihalomethanes which can cause eye and breathing problems.
