Unfortunately, you are probably correct: he probably DOES believe that it works. I wrote a web page, about 15 years ago now, about pool industry "TEKTATs" -- Things Everybody Knows That Aren't True.

The sales and marketing people from the pool chemical companies and pool gizmo companies have pulled the wool over a lot of people's eyes, and a some of them are IN the pool industry. I'm sure you've seen it happen in IT -- if you are old enough, you know how long people have been promised natural language voice recognition that REALLY works (for really, real, this time!), and yet after 20 years OCR has never gotten much past 95 - 98% on unprepared text. I gather that Apple's SIRI may be fairly functional, but I know the voice recognition on my DroidX is not.

But, suit your yourself. A UV ozonator won't HURT your pool, so long as you keep your alkalinity up.
