- Water Features
- Water features may use ozone for algae control and general water quality issues. Similar to cooling tower, and aquarium use, ozone is used to maintain a high water quality in a water reuse situation like water features.
- Water Reuse/Recycle
- Water may be reused for recycled from many applications using ozone. This may be simply cleaning waste-water to a suitable quality for wash-down water, or rainwater for toilet flushing. There are may water reuse applications where ozone has a benefit due to strong oxidation potential and lack of residuals.
- Waterparks
- Water parks may use ozone for algae control and general water quality issues. Similar to cooling tower, and aquarium use, ozone is used to maintain a high water quality in a water reuse situation like water parks.
