CD ozone generators also react more vigorously with humidity, causing nitric acid to build up in the lines. This can clog the lines as well at eat away at check valves in the line. Depending on your situation, a UV may be better for you.

Better in my opinion, of course.. don't wanna tick anybody off. I didn't know only CD ozones clogged check valves? Well, I suppose it's easier and more cost effective to replace check valves and hoses then UV bulbs.
I live in a very humid climate (summer months) and very cold with high winds (winter months). Would this imply that I should stay away from CD systems and look only at UV systems? Also, what does CD stand for and how could you tell the difference?
QuoteBetter in my opinion, of course.. don't wanna tick anybody off. I didn't know only CD ozones clogged check valves? Well, I suppose it's easier and more cost effective to replace check valves and hoses then UV bulbs. CD ozones do it because they typically put out 10-20 times the amount of ozone as a UV ozone. As a consumer, would you want to replace your check valves and hoses every few months? I have some customers that do it and they don't mind, but I am sure the majority of customers don't want to do it. And if you don't know about it, and let it go too long, the CD unit can be damaged.
