When it encounters bacteria, viruses or fungi, it ruptures the cell of the micro-organism. In so doing, that extra atom of oxygen is destroyed and there is nothing left… no bacteria…no virus… no extra atom, only oxygen. The extent of bacteria destruction and viral inactivation is related to the concentration of ozone in the water and its contact time with the micro-organisms. Bacteria are the most rapidly destroyed. E-Coli bacteria are destroyed by ozone concentrations of just over 0.01 mg/litre and contact time of 15 seconds at temperatures of 25 degrees C (77 degrees F) and 30 degrees C (86 degrees F).* Streptococcus fecalis are much more easily de
