Retrofit apparatus for retrofitting an ozone generator to a spa, hot tub
or similar facility is disclosed. Here, a fitting is threaded into an air
inlet of a spa or hot tub, and covers provided for the water outlets to
generally prevent outgassing. In another embodiment, an ozone-providing
plug is provided to one water outlet of a spa or hot tub, with the air
and other outlets being blocked. In addition, different configurations of
ozone generator are disclosed. Particularly, one type ozone generator
includes an inverted U-shaped apparatus so that heat from the ozone
generator induces a chimney effect so as to cause the ozonated air to
rise through a chimney and then settle into a selected area. Another
ozone generator creates a low rate of airflow by "ion wind" in order to
propel ozonated air into a system of piping in the absence of water
flowing therethrough.
