Ozone is a familiar name to all when it comes to water treatment. For years, it has proven safe and effective in global water treatment systems.
In the same way, it can be used safely in any Koi ponds and aquacultural ventures.
Ozone, not being a bleaching agent like chlorine, can safely treat and recondition water. Another area of application is in disinfection of swimming pool water, ozonation avoids the use of harmful chemicals like chlorine and acids in the pool. The ozone disinfection method is safer for humans and pets than traditional methods.
The Ozone system can be easily integrated into any existing filtration methods and shall be automated. Note that, although ozone is a beneficial addition to your existing filter system, it does not replace the main filter and biological filter.
Ozone equipment is not a substitute for your main filters. Still, it will enhance the performance of your main filter by giving a better-dissolved Oxygen level, zero bad odours and water clarity.
In the last decades, people have widely recommended and used ozone systems in Koi ponds and water gardens. These systems play an important role in the field of aquaculture and RAS fish farming. In aquaculture facilities, ozone can also purify and improve air quality, as well as remove bad odours.
The other important area applications are in swimming pools, laundry units, Effluent treatment plants, sewage treatment plants and ozonolysis.
What is ozone?
Ozone is “Active oxygen ” ie, Ozone is triatomic (O3) and is formed by recombination of Oxygen atoms.
OPassing high-voltage electrical discharges through dry or pure oxygen generates ozone. The half-life of Ozone is very short in water for about 20 minutes. But it remains more stable in the atmosphere for up to 12 hours.
This gas is colourless with a definitive pungent smell and can be detected at a shallow level of 0.05 ppm. It is a strong oxidant with high disinfection properties. The disinfection reaction begins instantaneously as the gas mixes with water. The reaction rate is 3,200 times faster and more effective than any known method.
Ozonation is the best solution to most water quality issues concerning water treatment. It can effectively control bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, colour, and odour. In short, it disinfects, oxidizes, deodorizes and decolorizes.
What are the benefits of using an Ozone system in koi ponds?
Ozone treatment of koi pond water in addition to the biological and mechanical filtration will effectively remove parasites, Bacteria and viruses present in the water. It will provide a pristine environment for your beloved fish.
- Ozonization is an eco-friendly process which disinfects and sterilizes the water and increases the dissolved oxygen level in your pond.
- You can use ozonization to remove total suspended solids (TSS) and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) from the pond water.
- It can efficiently control the level of Biochemical Oxygen demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in the pond water.
- Ozone treatment of koi pond water enhances the precipitation of the microbiological components thereby increasing the effectiveness of biological and mechanical filtration/particulate filtration.
- It can reduce water loss by prolonging the backwashing period of filters.
- The ozonation process increases water clarity, and it does not impede the colour visibility of the Koi fishes.
- Another important benefit is that you can completely eradicate the Foul Smell / Bad odour in the Koi Pond and from its biofilter.
Listed below are some salient features of our Ozone Sterilization System.
- Manufactured with German Technology and Engineered components ( Vital for Ozone Generation) assured for robust and reliable performance.
- Unique closed-looped Ozone Generation in line with ORP monitoring of the Process Water ( presettable range 350-380mV ).
- Completely Automatic Operation and reduces the necessity of manual intervention right from sequential switching ON & OFF of the Oxygen Concentration, Ozone Generation & Venturi Injection based on the infeed water quality ORP reading and also safeguarding the entire system by preventing immediate switching ON of all the components at a time after the power interruption or cuts.
- Optionally we can add the Ozone Generation system with Datalogger to log the Ozone Generation to the ORP levels of the treated water. The GSM module can transmit the data, as well as in .xls Sheet format, for seamless monitoring, controlling, study, and process improvement purposes.
- Backed up with expert service technical team to ensure machine downtime < 5% in a year, and complete service resolution within 48- 72 hrs for any service calls. (Our CRM portal registers and manages all service call. )
Attention! If improperly used, ozone will be dangerous (both for you and your fish), therefore seek expert advice before you are going to purchase ozone equipment!
