Use of ozone in animal swimming pools
The use of ozone in swimming pools and zoo ponds provides powerful, natural disinfection that improves animal health and water quality. As it is a highly effective oxidising agent, it eliminates bacteria, viruses, fungi and algae without leaving any chemical residues, thereby preventing irritation to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes of sensitive species such as seals, hippos and waterfowl. Furthermore, it drastically reduces the need for chlorine or other chemicals, prevents odours and the formation of harmful by-products, and keeps the water crystal-clear and oxygenated, which benefits both animal welfare and the visitor experience.

Are there hygiene issues with animal swimming pools?
The use of ozone in animal swimming pools is the definitive solution for eradicating waterborne infections and eliminating the characteristic greenish colour caused by algae. As a highly potent oxidising agent, ozone provides comprehensive disinfection without leaving any chemical residues, ensuring crystal-clear water and eliminating unpleasant odours that often lead to complaints from visitors. This system creates a hygienic and fresh environment that drastically improves the image of the facilities and the public’s experience.
Beyond aesthetics, our main objective is animal welfare. Ozone treatment drastically reduces reliance on harsh chemicals, preventing damage to the mucous membranes, eyes and skin of sensitive species such as seals, dolphins and waterbirds. Furthermore, the system adds extra dissolved oxygen to the water, recreating a much healthier and more natural ecosystem that promotes the animals’ vitality and prevents chronic illnesses resulting from chlorine-saturated environments.
From an operational perspective, ZonoSistem’s technology optimises the performance of your treatment plant by improving the flocculation and filtration processes. This results in a significant reduction in the frequency of filter backwashing and considerable savings in water and disinfectants. As it is an automated system that generates ozone on-site, we eliminate the need to store hazardous chemicals, offering a more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly management system.

Benefits of using ozone in animal swimming pools
Maximum disinfection with no residue
Ozone has a much greater disinfecting power than traditional disinfectants. It rapidly eliminates all types of microorganisms. Injecting ozone into the water in animal swimming pools also reduces odours in the surrounding area.
Improves water quality
Ozone is an excellent water treatment agent for animal swimming pools; it oxidises and breaks down organic and inorganic matter, and reduces COD, BOD, suspended solids (SS), dissolved solids (DS), turbidity, colour, odour and taste. It improves flocculation, coagulation and filtration in the treatment plant.
Enhance the experience for visitors and staff
The use of ozone enables you to reduce the chlorine levels in dolphin pools, contributing to the animals’ wellbeing and improving the clarity of the water. In hippo and crocodile pools, ozone prevents the water from turning green by eliminating algae. It also removes odours from these aquatic systems, thereby enhancing the visitor experience.
No manual labour, fully automatic
The system automatically generates and injects ozone into the tank, without the need for manual labour. It simply needs to be connected to the tank and a power socket.
No chemical storage
Ozone is generated on site and applied immediately, so it does not require the storage or handling of chemicals, eliminates the need for transport and reduces the carbon footprint.
Biocide recognised by ECHA
Ozone is included on the European Chemicals Agency’s (ECHA) list of biocides, and ZonoSistem has all the necessary documentation for its proper authorisation and use

ZonoSistem case studies: the use of ozone in swimming pools for animals
Ozone for animal swimming pools, Spain
El proyecto incluye un sistema de ozono industrial gama GRZO, autosuficiente, que garantiza la desinfección del agua de retorno a la piscina. El agua filtrada se ozoniza, mejoramos calidad microbiológica y fisicoquímica, se aporta oxígeno hasta la saturación y se mejora el aspecto de la piscina. El color torna de verdoso a celeste cristalino y el espectado mejora su experiencia.
Ozone at an animal park, Spain
Este proyecto incluye dos generadores de gama industrial y cinco plantas de inyección para cinco circuitos hidráulicos independientes. Incluye un sistema de reparto de gas ozono para inyectar en cada línea. Un caudal parcial de agua filtrada se ozoniza y se retorna a cabecera de cada circuito para mejorar el proceso de filtrado y garantizar la desinfección.
Ozone at an animal park, Spain
Este proyecto incluye diferentes puntos de inyección de ozono disuelto en diferentes líneas de tratamiento. Piscinas de delfines, piscinas de leones marinos, piscinas de cocodrilos y piscinas de tortugas. Cada línea demanda una dosis de ozono de forma automática. El sistema es controlado por un PLC master que garantiza el ozono que realmente necesita cada piscina.

Faeces, feed and organic matter from the surrounding woodland degrade the water quality in these ponds. Ozone is the most powerful tool for restoring water quality.
Frequently asked questions about the use of ozone in animal swimming pools
Unlike chlorine, ozone does not produce irritating by-products (chloramines). This prevents damage to the mucous membranes, eyes and skin of sensitive species such as dolphins, seals and waterbirds. Furthermore, by injecting oxygen directly into the water, it boosts the animals’ immune systems and recreates a much more natural and healthy ecosystem.
Yes, ozone is an extremely powerful oxidising agent that destroys the microalgae responsible for the greenish tinge and removes the organic matter that causes unpleasant odours. The result is crystal-clear water and a fresh atmosphere, which dramatically improves the visitor experience and the park’s image.
Ozone acts as an excellent filtration aid, significantly reducing the frequency of filter backwashing and the need for fresh water. By minimising the use of chemicals and automating disinfection, operating, storage and labour costs are reduced, whilst extending the service life of the entire system.
