An ozone injector device comprising a housing having a water passageway through the housing, a corona tube disposed within the housing, an ozone inlet fitting removably coupled to the water passageway, the ozone inlet being in fluid communication with the corona tube via a corona discharge tube, and a clearing piston positioned to move into and out of the water passageway directly opposite the ozone inlet. The clearing piston is biased upwards, towards to the ozone inlet, and configured to prevent flow of ozone into the water passageway.

An ozone generation system which is adaptable for supplying ozone to different medium and small application processes. The system has a source of feed gas, a corona discharge cell receiving the feed gas from the feed gas source and generating ozone for the application process, a flow controller measuring and managing the flow of the feed gas from the feed gas source to the corona discharge cell; and a regulator receiving gas from the corona discharge cell and sending the gas to the application process. The regulator maintains pressure in the corona discharge cell independent of the application process pressure.

A fluid delivery system illustratively includes a spout, at least one valve in fluid communication with the spout, and a disinfectant device, illustratively an antibacterial device, fluidly coupled to the spout. The faucet is configured to selectively flow water through the disinfectant device in response to a user input to the faucet. In another illustrative embodiment, the fluid delivery system includes an outer housing, a plurality of fluid devices supported by the outer housing, and an ozone generator fluidly coupled to the fluid devices.

An ice machine prevents micro-organism growth by utilizing a clean-in-place process. The ice making process of the ice making machine is turned OFF, and then ozonated water, from an ozonated water generation system, is pumped into a distribution system, within the ice making machine so that the ozonated water is sprayed onto surfaces of the ice making machine which are susceptible to micro-organism growth and/or scale. Exposing the surfaces to ozonated water kills the micro-organisms and rinses the dead micro-organisms out of the ice making machine.

A water circulation system that includes a pipe assembly for in-line mixing of water and ozone for a recreational or decorative water feature is disclosed. The pipe assembly includes a first flow path for water to flow through. The first flow path includes one or more ozone intake ports that are fluidically coupled to one or more ozone output ports of an ozone supply unit. The pipe assembly further includes a second flow path fluidically coupled in parallel with the first flow path. The second flow path includes a control valve that selectively permits a portion of the water to flow through the second flow path to produce a negative pressure in the first flow path so that ozone is drawn into the first flow path through the one or more ozone intake ports and mixed into the water flowing through the first flow path.
