Water treatment bypass loops combining ozone and chlorine injection, and
an adaptable clamp apparatus to support efficient retrofit installation
of forward bypass loops (around filters) or reverse bypass loops (around
pumps) and associated equipment are disclosed. Combined injection of
ozone and chlorine exploits high oxidation potential of ozone to enhance
oxidation effectiveness of chlorine while still retaining longer lived
residual effectiveness of chlorine, particularly against biological and
organic contaminants. A method for reducing costs of salt chlorine
generation electrolysis cells and power supplies by using ozone to reduce
deposit buildup on electrode plates is also disclosed, as is an apparatus
for generating chlorine for use in water treatment in bathing facilities
without requiring addition of sodium chloride or other halogen salts to
water in a swimming pool or spa.
