An ozone disinfection system in hydroponic irrigation works by introducing ozone (O₃) into the irrigation water to eliminate pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses, and algae), break down organic matter, and keep lines and emitters clean, without leaving dangerous chemical residues.
Advantages:
- Eliminates Pythium, Fusarium, Phytophthora, algae, and harmful bacteria.
- Reduces the use of chemicals like chlorine or peroxide.
- Cleans biofilm in pipes and drippers.
- Improves water oxygenation (residual ozone converts to O₂).
- Compatible with recirculating systems, preventing pathogen accumulation.
