ozonaters?

I don't really understand why using UV ozone producing method vs CD would make a difference.  If there is a harmfull chemical reaction between Baqua and ozone, it should be there regardless of the ozone producing method.  Unless the reaction occurs during the ozone production, but at that point, the ozone is not yet in contact with the water or its chemicals, and no reaction could occur (I could be mistaken here, please someone correct me).

Any other technical/chemical hindsight here?

The only thing that possibly makes sense to me is that CD units can produce much higher concentrations of ozone, and that above a certain threshold ozone and Baqua do not play nice together.  In that case, it seems wiser to avoid ozone completely if using Baqua.

Our dealer said no ozone with Baqua, period.  They didn't say no uv ozone, or no cd ozone, just no ozone at all.  Of course I never questioned why......

You can use ozone with Baqua. The older stuff no, but the newer stuff yes. That is what they told me.

There were a lot of post regarding what chemicals to use in a tub and Baqua was pretty much on the against side.  The only reason I mention it is because on one such post it mentioned that with some manufacturers it could void the warrenty.  My dealer has been great and highly recommends its use, but I emailed the manufacturer directly and they said it would void the warrenty if smoething related to its use caused the problem.  I showed my dealer the email and they said they were suprised and that they have had a couple of warrenty issues and the manufacturer has always allowed them.

Just something to ponder.  Sorry it seems off topic, but the ozone/baqua gunk issue is where it plays in.

That makes sense to me too, thanks  ;).  But then, it would mean that UV ozone is not very usefull at all, if it doesn't induce much of a chemical reaction!
