Welcome to our forum.
Mixing chambers are "supposedly" to give the ozone more time, or ability to be absorbed into the water........... or so it's claimed. I still challenge anyone, manufacturer or other, to produce the results of a peer reviewed study showing the effectiveness of ozone in a residential spa....Anyone? Anyone at all?
I love BUBBA!!!! FYI, I did not scam them Just trying to help a fellow board member he said he was on a very tight budget so was trying to help. Maybe I should have PM's him but give me a break.
I don't think you deserve a break on this. OK, I can see that you had the issue for real and therefore discovered this by chance but what makes me shake my head is to post how to perpetuate this as a scam, which is what you advised to do. Del is a company trying to make a good product and good reputation with employees trying to make a living. Rather than justify it why not say "my bad" and move on?As far as PMing goes, it would have hidden it so if that's what you mean then sure, I guess you should have PMed it but thats sad if that's your reaction to how this is perceived.
I do think there is a little scam in all of us.
Do folks have an opinion on the Clarathon Long-Life Ozonator Kit 240V? Here's a link at Spadepot. It sounds good, but I'm a total novice. http://www.spadepot.com/shop/Clarathon-Long-Life-Ozonator-Kit-240V-P9211C221.aspxAlso, should I have the electrician install that when he does the major install?
If that makes you feel better then keep telling yourself that.
The convential wisdom is that the higher output CD ozonaotrs are better because the UV models output mcuh less O3 and therefore provide less effective treatment.
It seems to me that with the high out put ozonaotrs you have a much greater chance of having excess ozone that makes its way to the surface and then is available to oxidize pillows and covers. This seems especially more likely in retrofit situations where the ozone is released to the water soon before it enters the main tub volume.
I think that I would rather have a lower volume UV ozonator running 24/7 with a circ pump than a higher output ozonator running in occassional cycles to reduce the likleihood of off-gassing.
Do any of you experienced users of UV ozonoators running 24/7 with a circ pump / mixing chamber /contact area arrangment find it to be worthwhile?
