Nope, they are fine. And this is not supposed to be a "shock"

Well, I'm glad you are happy it seems to be working. But there is no ozone
in the water. The half-life of ozone in water is measured in minutes.

Many municipalities now use high concentrations of ozone instead of
chlorine to kill bacteria in drinking water. Since the ozone decomposes
back into oxygen so rapidly, the ozone has no residual disinfecting power.

I haven't seen a trace of algae when this thing were working. And I even
wasn't that hard on chemicals. Now, when it's dead for something like 2
months, I have a substantial algae growth, with green spots on pool wals
that I can't even remove despite weekly chlorine "shock" treatments, heavy
algaecide usage and lot of other efforts.

Yes, I do know ozone is unstable. But injecting ozone in the pool water for
a couple of weeks gets rid of that nasty vegetation. I had not read it in
advertizements, I can clearly see it in my own backyard.
