I-ozone yaqale yasetshenziswa e-United States ngo-1940 ekuhlobiseni ukukhipha amagciwane emanzini ohlelweni lokuhlanza amanzi.

Ukusetshenziswa kwe-ozone ezitshalweni ezinkulu zamanzi okuphuza kungase kudlale izindima ezihlukahlukene.

I-ozone ingaphatha izinkinga eziningi zamanzi ezihlanganisa:
amagciwane okuhlanganisa amagciwane ensimbi
izinsimbi ezinzima njenge-iron ne-manganese
ukungcola okuphilayo njenge-tannin ne-algae
amagciwane afana ne-cryptosporidium giardia kanye ne-amoebae njll wonke amagciwane aziwayo
isidingo se-oksijini yebhayoloji (i-bod) kanye nesidingo somoya-mpilo wamakhemikhali (cod)

I-ozone iyiphupho lamabhodlela eziphuzo.
I-ozone iphakeme kunanoma iyiphi enye indlela yokubulala amagciwane ngenxa yesimo sayo esiphezulu se-oxidation.
I-ozone ivumela izindleko eziphansi zokusebenza futhi yehlise izindleko zamakhemikhali zizonke.
I-ozone ngokuvamile ayihlotshaniswa nemikhiqizo ekhiqizwayo futhi ngokwemvelo ibuyela kumoya-mpilo ngakho akukho ukunambitha noma iphunga elihlobene ngemva kokusetshenziswa kwayo.
i-ozone ikhiqizwa endaweni.
i-international bottled water association (ibwa) iphakamisa izinga le-ozone eliyinsalela lika-0.2 kuya ku-0.4 ppm.

kungani usebenzise i-ozone?  
iyiphi i-oxidizer engabulala amagciwane anganikezi ukunambitheka okubi noma iphunga okufanele ihlolwe futhi kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ikhona futhi ayinayo insalela lapho idliwe?
ukuhlunga/ukucekela phansi.

njengobuchwepheshe bokwelapha obusheshayo futhi obuphumelelayo i-ozone manje isetshenziswa ezinhlotsheni ezihlukahlukene zokwelashwa kwamanzi aphuzwayo.
