A portable apparatus for diffusing ozone directly into water contained in a pool or tank includes a corona discharge ozonator contained in a waterproof housing powered by a rechargeable 12-volt or 24-volt battery or pack that can receive a recharging current from one or more solar energy collector panels, or alternatively from a cable attached to a remote power supply. An ozone discharge conduit includes a diffuser that discharges micro-bubbles to maximize the ozone dissolved in the water. The waterproof housing can be a buoyant floating platform on which the solar panels are mounted that is either free-floating or tethered to a submerged robotic self-propelled pool cleaner, which cleaner can also contain the battery. The ozonator housing can alternatively be attached to the pool cleaner body and supplied by surface or compressed air. <IMAGE> |
