About this episode
Episode Summary:
Beth Hamil is the Vice President of Product Development at MicroPlasma Ozone Technologies, Inc. She has 42 years of professional experience in ozone system development, ozone applications, ozone consulting, and project management, spanning a comprehensive range of commercial and residential industries.
Beth defines ozone as “a gas that is made up of three atoms of oxygen. We use ambient air and we either turn that into oxygen and then ozone or just ambient air turned into ozone. It’s a gas, and that’s all it is, and it happens to be an extraordinarily strong antimicrobial oxidizer. Just as chlorine is an oxidizer, ozone is an oxidizer that kills microorganisms—everything from mold to mildew to algae—by oxidation.”
Listen in as Beth recounts her varied professional journey, from healthcare, to the hot tub industry, to her many years in the ozone application industry, where she eventually partnered with MicroPlasma Ozone Technology to develop their game-changing innovation. We also discuss what ozone is, how it works, and what it does to pool water.
