Balboa Ozone Injector System is used in all Sunbelt portable Spas - which means
you use far fewer chemicals and get cleaner water.
UV light-generated ozone - an especially active form of oxygen - infused into the
spa’s water is virtually 100% effective in eliminating harmful organisms from your
spa. Ozone is literally thousands of times more effective than chlorine in eradicating
these health hazards.

You’ll use far less chemicals and save considerable money using a Balboa
Ozone System.
Unlike chemicals such as chlorine, ozone introduces almost no odor or
coloration into the water; ozonated water smells naturally sweet and it’s
crystal clear.
Unlike chemicals, ozone is very gentle to hair, skin and bathing suits.
While ozone-treated water is deadly to organisms like germs and bacteria, it’s
completely harmless to great big organisms like you and me!

So, there you have it, portable Spa maintenance is easy and fast.
