Ozone injection system and method
First Claim
1. A method of injecting ozone into the water of a swimming pool, comprising:
- providing a source of pressurized ozone, a swimming pool vacuum cleaner head, a dispersion member carried by the vacuum cleaner head, and a flexible conduit connecting the source of pressurized ozone to the dispersion member;
conducting ozone through the flexible conduit from the source of pressurized ozone to the dispersion member;
discharging ozone from the dispersion member into the water of a swimming pool; and
moving the vacuum cleaner head about within the water of the swimming pool while the dispersion member discharges ozone received through the flexible conduit from the source of pressurized ozone for sanitizing purposes.

Abstract
A system for injecting ozone into the water of a swimming pool includes a source of pressurized ozone, a sparger or dispersion member adapted to be mounted on a separate swimming pool vacuum cleaner head, and a flexible conduit connecting the source of pressurized ozone to the dispersion member. The dispersion member receives ozone through the flexible conduit from the source of pressurized ozone and discharges it into the water of the swimming pool for sanitizing purposes while the vacuum cleaner head is moved about within the water of the swimming pool for cleaning purposes. The flexible conduit may be attached to a separate water suction line connected to the swimming pool vacuum cleaner head and be routed alongside the water suction line through a separate skimmer apparatus, and the dispersion member may be weighted sufficiently to compensate for any buoyancy introduce by the flexible conduit.
