What is an Ozonator?

An Ozonator versus traditional water care treatment: don't be fooled, as an ozonator is one of the most misrepresented products in a hot tub!


Beachcomber's position is that an ozonator does not provide for 100% sanitization and cannot keep up with heavier bather loads for complete safety!


The ozonator has been around the spa industry for about 20 years and misrepresented by many people as an acceptable form of water sanitization treatment. An ozonator actually produces a strong ozone gas that oxidizes the water and is harmful if breathed. In conjunction with an approved water treatment program, an ozonator can work to improve water clarity but there are too many negatives long term drawbacks. For some reason our industry seems to over promise and implies that an ozonator does more that it was made to do for a spa, including disinfecting and killing bacteria, with out the use of any other sanitizer!
Every Beachcomber Hot Tub we build can accommodate an ozone generator, yet we do not personally recommend you use one. It has been our experience since 1978 that this piece of equipment doesn't stand up to the high standards of Beachcomber quality and our guarantee. Again it comes down to doing what's right. Why would we install anything in your hot tub that we wouldn't put in our own? At Beachcomber, we take your best interest to heart and we want your hot tub experience to be a safe one.
