If you're looking for the cleanest, clearest, and safest pool water possible, you're probably familiar with ozone and UV disinfection. But what if you could combine their strengths into one supercharged system? That’s exactly what the UltraPure™ BlueForce AOP (Advanced Oxidation Process) does — and it’s changing the game for backyard swimming pools.
In this post, we’ll break down what AOP is, how the UltraPure BlueForce AOP system works, and why it outperforms traditional sanitation methods in both effectiveness and user experience.
What Is AOP?
AOP stands for Advanced Oxidation Process. In the pool industry, it typically refers to the combination of ozone (O₃) and UV-C light, which creates powerful hydroxyl radicals (•OH) — the most potent oxidizers available for water treatment.
Hydroxyl radicals are short-lived but incredibly reactive. They destroy a wide range of contaminants on contact, including:
Chloramines (those smelly by-products of chlorine)
Bacteria and viruses
Organic materials like body oils, sweat, and sunscreen
Microscopic algae and protozoa
Think of AOP as taking the best of ozone and UV, and adding a turbocharger.
How the UltraPure BlueForce AOP System Works
At the heart of the BlueForce AOP system is intelligent engineering that seamlessly integrates UltraPure’s high-output ozone generator with a germicidal UV-C chamber. Here’s how the process works:
Ozone Generation: The BlueForce O₃ module produces ozone gas through a process called photolysis. This ozone is injected into the water via a high-efficiency, suction-side injection method, oxidizing many organic compounds on its own.
UV-C Light Exposure: The ozonated water then flows through the UV-C reactor chamber. As UV light hits residual ozone in the water, it breaks down the ozone molecule, creating hydroxyl radicals in the process.
Advanced Oxidation Activation: These hydroxyl radicals immediately target and destroy remaining contaminants in the water. The result? Crystal-clear, ultra-pure pool water with minimal chemical usage.
Why It’s Better Than Traditional Sanitizers
While chlorine has been the default for decades, AOP represents a quantum leap forward in water treatment. Here’s why UltraPure BlueForce AOP outshines other systems:
✅ Minimal Chlorine, Maximum Clarity
You’ll use less chlorine overall, and your water will look and feel better — free of harsh odors, red eyes, and dry skin.
✅ Superior Disinfection
Hydroxyl radicals are faster and more effective than chlorine at neutralizing pathogens — even chlorine-resistant ones like Cryptosporidium.
✅ Breaks Down Everything
Unlike UV or ozone alone, AOP breaks down a broader range of organics, reducing the need for shock treatments.
✅ No Chemical Residuals
Unlike chlorine or bromine, hydroxyl radicals leave behind no harmful by-products.
✅ Easy Installation & Operation
The BlueForce AOP system is designed for plug-and-play simplicity. Whether you're building a new pool or retrofitting an existing one, installation is a breeze.
Real Luxury, Real Science
A backyard pool should feel like a resort — not a science experiment. That’s why the UltraPure BlueForce AOP system is engineered with both performance and user experience in mind. You get better water quality, fewer chemicals, and a more enjoyable swim.
It’s not just advanced oxidation — it’s advanced peace of mind.
