I can't speak for how well it would work, but ozone is not at all difficult to make. My hot tub has an ozonator in it, the device is nothing more than a quartz UV germicidal lamp and ballast mounted in an aluminum box with a barbed hose fitting on it. It runs during the filtration cycle and the ozone is drawn into the water with a venturi. The stuff is toxic, but dissipates and breaks down quickly.
