I-ozone yaqala ukusetyenziswa e-United States ngo-1940 kwi-whiteing ye-disinfection yamanzi kwinkqubo yokucoca amanzi.

Ukusetyenziswa kwe-ozone kwizityalo ezinkulu zamanzi okusela kunokudlala iindima ezahlukeneyo.

I-ozone inokuphatha imiba enkulu yamanzi kuquka:
iibhaktheriya kuquka iibhaktheriya zentsimbi
iintsimbi ezinzima ezifana nentsimbi kunye nemanganese
izinto ezingcolisayo eziphilayo ezifana tannin kunye algae
iintsholongwane ezifana cryptosporidium giardia kunye amoebae njl zonke iintsholongwane ezaziwayo
imfuno ye-oksijini yebhayoloji (i-bod) kunye nemfuno yeoksijini yeekhemikhali (cod)

i-ozone liphupha leebhotile zesiselo.
I-ozone iphezulu kunayo nayiphi na enye indlela yokubulala iintsholongwane ngenxa yesimo sayo esiphezulu se-oxidation.
i-ozone ivumela iindleko eziphantsi zokusebenza kunye nokunciphisa iindleko zemichiza jikelele.
I-ozone ayiqhelekanga ngokunxulumene neemveliso kwaye ngokwemvelo ibuyela kwi-oksijini ukuze kungabikho incasa okanye ivumba elihambelanayo emva kokusetyenziswa kwayo.
i-ozone yenziwa kwindawo.
umbutho wamanzi asebhotileni wamazwe ngamazwe (ibwa) ucebisa inqanaba le-ozone elishiyekileyo le-0.2 ukuya kwi-0.4 ppm.

kutheni usebenzisa i-ozone?  
yeyiphi i-oxidizer enokubulala iibhaktheriya inika akukho ncasa imbi okanye ivumba elivavanyiweyo kwaye ingqinwe ukuba ikhona kwaye ayinayo intsalela xa idliwe?
ukuhluzwa/ukutshatyalaliswa.

njengeteknoloji yonyango olukhawulezayo nolusebenzayo i-ozone ngoku isetyenziswa kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zezicelo zokucoca amanzi okusela.
