Dear Anthony, I agree with you, the ozone havemany advantages over other technologies, and at the same time must be used with some engineering  criteria. Can be used for poor people? Yes Can be used in isolated zones? Yes Can be used in small scale or individual homes? Yes Is ozone more effective killing bacteria and elimating viruses than other disinfectants? Yes Need some training to use? Yes Has the local economy, money to support ozone disinfection system? Sometimes There are many ways to disinfect from thermal methods as boiling to chemical adition methods as ozone, peroxide, and chlorine, and to find the best option we need to do a very good technical and cost-effective analysis. Sometimes the boiling could be the best, in other cases ozone can be, in other casess a mix of them as the use of filtration followed by ozonation, but even always the decision-maker, his team and their knowkedge will influence the final decision. That is the reason to adquire more knowledge in water disinfection, and not in limiting to the actual more known technologies. Thanks to Mohammed to ask about it! Regards,   Orlando D.
