Once operational, the system will improve the taste and odor of Winfield's water. Ozone is one of the strongest disinfectants known. It is produced by passing an electrical charge through oxygen, creating a molecule with three atoms of oxygen, O3. This ozone molecule, when applied for drinking water drinking water supply of water available to animals for drinking supplied via nipples, in troughs, dams, ponds and larger natural water sources; an insufficient supply leads to dehydration; it can be the source of infection, e.g. leptospirosis, salmonellosis, or of poisoning, e.g. treatment, is effective in the reduction or elimination of color, taste and odor problems associated with many water supplies. Ozone can also effectively destroy bacteria and inactivate in·ac·ti·vate v. 1. To render nonfunctional. 2.
