What is the Purezone™ AOS spa sanitising system?

Purezone™ AOS™ (or Advanced Oxidation System), is an automatic sanitising system designed for swim spas and spa pools. It combines UV and Ozone technologies to purify and clarify for crystal clear, safe spa water and easy water maintenance.

Purezone™ AOS is part of the Vortex Spas™ Purezone™ Water Care System that includes the Purezone™ Filtration System. It is available from 2023 on Vortex™ Spas and Swim Spas as part of the Avanté upgrade package.

Compared to traditional chlorine-based water treatments, advanced oxidation systems such as Purezone™ AOS, are often more effective at removing stubborn contaminants and require less maintenance.

Please note: The Purezone™ AOS system does not remove the need for APVMA-approved sanitiser. You will still need to use some sanitisers, but it should be much less than if you did not have an AOS system.

How does Purezone™ AOS work in a spa or swim spa?

The Purezone™ AOS system combined with the Purezone™ filtration system is one of the most effective automatic water care systems on the market.

The Purezone™ AOS water care system consists of a series of components, including:

• An Ozone generator that produces the oxidant
• A UV light Chamber where the oxidant and UV Light are combined to form the hydroxyl radicals

A combined ozone and UV system is more effective at sanitising spa pool water than using Ozone or UV light alone. This is because both technologies work together, enhancing each other’s strengths, to achieve a higher level of water disinfection and purification.

One key benefit of this combination is when ozone and UV light are used in a spa pool, they create hydroxyl radicals, which are very powerful at cleaning the water.

Overall, a combination UV and ozone sanitising system such as Purezone™ AOS, can provide a reliable, low-chemical way to keep spa pool water clean, clear, and safe for users.

You will still need to use some sanitisers, but they will be much less than if you did not have an AOS system.

What are hydroxly radicals?

Hydroxyl radicals are highly reactive molecules that play a crucial role in advanced water treatment processes.

As mentioned above, when ozone and UV light are used together in a spa pool, they create hydroxyl radicals, which are very powerful at cleaning the water.

Hydroxyl radicals are known for their powerful oxidizing properties, which make them extremely effective in breaking down a wide range of contaminants, including organic pollutants, bacteria, viruses, and chemical compounds.

In fact, these radicals can break down organic contaminants in the water more effectively than just using ozone or UV alone, helping keep spa pool water clean and safe to use by attacking and removing harmful substances.
