Sani-Design® Technology Integrates This Safe, Effective, and Naturally Occurring Compound for a Cleaner Plumbing System Free of Bacteria, Viruses, and Odor

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARK. – (November 2013) –Many people may not realize that the fresh scent of the air noticed at the seaside or after a thunderstorm is due, in part, to ozone -- a highly active form of oxygen. Jason International, Inc., the Arkansas-based luxury bath manufacturer has developed its Automatic Ozone Sanitation System to harness the cleaning and freshening power of this “activated oxygen” for use with its hydrotherapy baths.

As one of the most powerful elements of Jason’s Sani-Design® Technology – which also includes a specially designed V-drain system, positive drain channels, and automatic channel drying systems – the Automatic Ozone Sanitation System provides consumers with a user-friendly system for their Jason bath that is simple, effective, consistent – and, of course, automatic.

“Certainly, homeowners are concerned with maintenance and cleanliness when choosing which hydrotherapy bath to install,” said Jeff Cunningham, Jason’s Vice President of Engineering. “Ozone is colorless and odorless, and when produced by the Jason Automatic Ozone Sanitation System, it naturally and safely disinfects the bath through a process similar to chlorine (oxidation), without any of the negative properties of chlorine.

Ozone has long been used as a sanitizer in many applications in various industries. It also helps purify many of the foods we eat and much of the bottled water we drink. The ozone produced by our system is harmless to a bather and to fabrics – towels, wash cloths, and clothing – which means ozone is a logical component for use in our Jason hydrotherapy bath construction.” 

The UL-approved and EPA-registered Automatic Ozone Sanitation System utilizes the oxygen in the air we breathe and has a 9,000-hour operating life. It is available on Jason’s MicroSilk^®, AirMasseur^®, Whirlpool, and combination baths and works automatically when the system’s pump or blower is operating.

What makes ozone safe and beneficial in reducing household germs, bacteria, viruses, and fungi? The secret is in its simple chemistry. An ozone (O3) molecule possesses three oxygen atoms – one more than an oxygen (O2) molecule. As the Jason Automatic Ozone Sanitation System works, it creates ozone-infused bubbles that mix with the bathwater. Upon entering the bath well, the ozone molecules in the water release their third oxygen atom. This free, extremely active oxygen atom possesses exceptional sanitizing powers that naturally and safely disinfect the bather, bathwater, and bathtub.

Because oxygen kills anaerobic pathogens on contact, bathing in ozone-infused water has been shown to help relieve skin problems aggravated by bacteria. As part of its dedication to enhanced health and wellness, Jason International is devoted to offering innovations like the Automatic Ozone Sanitation System on their hydrotherapy baths as a simple, natural way to protect both the bather and their investment in a quality product for their home.
