Ozone is rarely used as a primary pool treatment. If ozone is used, bromine is the steriliant of choice, since you only need to add it a few times a year (lower vapor pressure than chlorine). Ozone reactivates the bromine, and is destroyed in the filter. Ozone is hazardous for lungs.
Using ozone tends to reduce the THM and HAA that chlorine can form in pool water. It can also reduce the amount of water "blown down", since fewer chemicals need to be used. And fewer chemical deliveries.
When you turn power off, ozone is gone. Chlorine stays, and stays hazardous.

Can guinea pigs smim in public pools?
no. most public pools dont allow animals and the chlorine is very bad for them if swallowed.
Where can I find a public non chlorine swimming pool in Minnesota?
NOT ALL POOLS NEED CHLORINE. Salt Water pools are cleaner and do not harm the environment. I too am allergic to chlorine. It affects more than just my eyes. When I swim in pools with chlorine, I get upper respiratory and bladder infections. I too am having difficulty locating a non-chlorine public alternative. Because chlorine is cheaper than salt and most people aren't allergic to the levels used in public swimming pools; most municipalities choose that option. What I would recommend is that you call the local Parks & Recreations Office and ask them if there are any public salt water pools.

Does a public pool have more chlorine than a backyard pool?
Most likely - yes. The public pool will have a more consistant level of chlorine and pH levels will be in balance. Private pools tend to be neglected.
What is chlorine used in?
chlorine is used in pools to disinfect them.
What is the Advantage of Ultraviolet pools?
Water is sterilized as it passes through an ultraviolet light source so few chemicals are needed specifically chlorine.
Why is the advantage to an ozone producing uv light?
Ozone is a much better sanitizer than chlorine, except that it doesn't provide a residual. You should also look into corona discharge units too. They may produce more ozone than "UV". UV-based ozone generation is less sensitive to moisture in the air. It also produces an order of magnitude less ozone-per-watt than corona-based units. UV-based units are properly sized for spas, but not home pools.
What is a greenish yellow gas used as bleach and water disinfectant?
