Ozone is the smell that comes from firing a spark plug, brushes in an electric motor, using a copy machine, air purifiers like Tom has. Mercury vapor bulbs fired at high voltage are normally used to produce ozone in water systems.

Chlorine bleach is still the cheapest and most effective way to disinfect water. With a swimmimg pool test kit and several gallons of bleach can be bought for 20 dollars or less.
If the smell bothers you, you can buy a carbon filter like the brita stuff from here: http://www.brita.com/index_ca.html after it's disinfected. I suggest disinfecting first because the charcoal/carbon in the brita type filters can harbor a good colony of bacteria, so your back to square one.
Sorry for taking so long to reply but I hope this helps,
Phil
