  • Title: [Experience gained with ozone/activated-charcoal treatment of swimming-pools filled with sea water (author's transl)].
    Author: Jentsch F.
    Journal: Zentralbl Bakteriol Orig B; 1977 Aug; 164(5-6):485-91. PubMed ID: 333831.
    Abstract:
    An ozone/activated charcoal stage in the water treatment also lends itself extremely well to improving the quality of sea water in swimming pools. This improvement is typically reflected in the low content of organic substances and nitrogen compounds (ammonia, urea) and, as a result, in the high redox potentials in the swimming-pool water which are even likely to bring about a rapid inactivation of the viri. A small percentage of the bromide in the sea water is oxidised to free bromide which passes through the activated charcoal filter, counteracts the growth of germs, keeps the filtrate largely free from germs and contributes to the disinfection of the swimming pool.
