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.

As you mentioned earlier, you are pumping the water through the ozone
injector. This kills bacteria and algae that come in direct contact with
the ozone. No problem with that. It obviously works.

I just took exception to your statement there was ozone in the water, and
explained why that was not true. The half-life of ozone in water is very
short, and it decreases with temperature.
