No Ultraviolet uses light Ozone uses O3 which is an oxygen molecule normally Oxygen exists as O2. O3 is corrosive
Answer Ozone is produced by passing ambient air past UltraViolet lamps. This produces Ozone gas, which is injected into the water as an Oxidizer. Ozone reduces the need for Chlorine by 60-80% as it becomes the primary oxidizer for the water.

How did the ozone form?
The ozone is formed and destroyed from the same radiation i.e the ultraviolet radiation. The oxygen present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere when comes in contact with the high energy ultraviolet radiations of the sun it breaks down into 2 molecules of nascent oxygen. These 2 molecules then combine individually with oxygen molecule in the presence of these radiations and thus form a molecule of ozone. Moreover the ozone is also formed during the lightning. The concept of making artificial ozone is based on this principle of passing electricity to form ozone.
Why ozone is found in upper ATM while oxygen is found in your ATM?
Ozone also stands near ground level besides the nitrogen oxides of smog. At lower pressures the deconversion of ozone into oxygen is slower, and at some altitude the intensity of ultraviolet converts oxygen into ozone at the same rate as its decomposition.
Why is ozone not good in the troposphere?
In the same way that fire is good in a fireplace, but bad on your clothing... Ozone in the upper atmosphere forms the ozone layer, which protects the earth from ultraviolet light (UV-B). Ozone at ground level is a common air pollutant which is harmful to lungs and the breathing structures of plants too.
Is the greenhouse effect the same as ozone depletion?
No, they are different. Ozone depletion results in more ultraviolet (short wave) radiation reaching earth's surface. The greenhouse effect results in more infrared (long wave) radiation being absorbed by the atmosphere.
What layer of th earth protects us from the sun and what does it do to protect us from the sun?
The Ozone layer (high up in the atmosphere), this layer is both created by the action of ultraviolet light (from the Sun) on the oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and shields the biosphere from that same ultraviolet radiation.
Which layer of the atmosphere is the first?
Atmosphere. Ozone is formed by interaction between oxygen in the atmosphere, and UV-C from the Sun.
How did the ozone layer began?
The ozone depletion is actually something happening naturally. It is an ongoing process. The moment ozone was formed, its formation and depletion were the phenomenons that run parallel to each other. However the rate of formation of ozone was same as its depletion so no frequent changes were seen in its thickness or concentration. However the water vapour was still present at that time which could deplete ozone but the factors like the CFC's or other ODS i.e. ozone depleting substances were not present at that time. The ozone depletion and ozone formation are actually the phenomenon which were or are carried by the same high energy ultraviolet radiations. These ultraviolet radiations make the oxygen molecules present in the lower stratospheric region of the atmosphere dissociate onto two single atoms of nascent oxygen i.e. [O]. These nascent oxygen atoms individually react with the oxygen molecules to form ozone molecule. However the same Ultraviolet radiations make the ozone molecule break down into oxygen molecules. However with the start of the industrial revolution and the discovery of the CFC's the rate of depletion of ozone increased as compared to the formation rate and thus a so called ozone hole was formed in the ozone layer of the earth.
What chemicals make up bad ozone?
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (unlike the normal oxygen molecules which contains only two oxygen atoms). All ozone has the same composition, there is only one kind of ozone. Whether ozone is considered to be good or bad depends upon the location of the ozone, not the composition. Ozone at high altitudes is good, because it protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ozone at ground level is bad, because it is harmful to our health if we inhale it.
Eco friendly pool sanitation can a ozone system keep our pool clean?
Ozone for pool sanitization is most cost effective (including consumption of electrical power, some of which is still fossil fuel derived) when it is used to "reactivate" the actual sanitizer in the pool. Ozone will reactivate bromine compounds to hypobromous acid, and bromine has a lower vapor pressure than chlorine, so you can use less bromine if you add ozone, than you would ever be able to get away with for chlorine (because ozone and chlorine are not synergistic in the same way... or at all). This means less hardness change due to chemical additions... more chemical savings. There are pools that use ozone for the primary (pre-filter) and secondary (in the pool itself) sterilant. They are made from special materials (especially the pumping / filtration), take special pool coatings (regular paints fail quickly), and take a much more expensive ozone generator (both to buy and operate). Most eco-friendly of all, is not to have a private pool, but to use a community pool instead. It is safer than most public bodies of water... if the pool is well maintained.
How is ozone in the stratosphere the same as the troposphere?
No. The ozone is stratosphere is good ozone. The ozone in troposphere is bad ozone.
What made there be a hole in the ozone layer?
the use if chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) in early aerosol items reacted with the ozone layer during exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. it happened mostly over Antarctica because of the long days and nights. during the nights, large 'clouds' of CFC's built up, and when the day came they all reacted at the same time to destroy the ozone.
Is the ozone layer's temperature the same as the stratosphere?
The temperature of ozone layer is same as stratosphere. It is because ozone layer is in stratosphere.
