Best Answer

Chlorine will always be used for secondary sterilization in drinking water, so further discussion will be based on general oxidzer needs. Chlorine requires very inexpensive equipment to dispense. Chlorine is very dangerous to handle, but these dangers are well understood and capable of being mitigated by trained personnel. Chlorine is more expensive in the long run (> 5years usually, depending on oxidizer needs and power costs). Chlorine should not be used in any application that will be offgassing routinely (see ozone depletion, and simply wasting applied dollars) Ozone is very capital intensive to set up. Ozone is also dangerous to handle, but if you turn off the power, ozone is quickly gone back to oxygen. Ozone is less expensive in the long run. Some of the savings comes from the fact that ozone does what it does faster, and requires less C*T (concentration times time) to complete a given reaction. Control systems costs for either system will roughly equivalent.

Would you compare an Ozone vs salt system?

Ozone is basically harmless to humans but is very corrosive and a very effective way of keeping pool water safe. However it does have a reputation for corroding pool fittings and plumbing. the salt system uses salt "sodium chloride" Mixed into the water at very low concentration which is then electronically turned into chlorine which in turn sanitizes the water. sodium chloride makes the water feel more pleasant to swim in bot is not necessarily good for the garden so all backwashing has to be done to waste and can not be reused unless you use the new Magnesium and potassium chloride system to make the chlorine, in that case the stuff is actually god for you and your garden.
