Ozone - The Sale pitch

That would only occur if you were filling your tub with wastewater, as the amount of organic nitrogen that would be formed would not be sufficient to change the free chlorine residual to a total chlorine residual.

Thar's some educated folk on this thread...
So how does length of the contact chamber come into play? Is it insignificant?
Does it make a difference if the ozonator is running 24/7 with the circ pump versus only when the jet pumps are on?

Sounds like the ozonators being installed on current tubs do not do much of anything. Why then spend the $200? I'm thinking of just cancelling mine and making due with chems. Also, was wondering if you can purchase the cd ozone from Sundance and aftermarket install yourself on a Jacuzzi? Does that void your warranty? Are the systems compatible? Will any ozone system work on any tub?
My Jacuzzi dealer only uses the UV ozone now, said he had very high failure rates on the cd units.

Yes, having a contact chamber does make a difference because you are trying to dissolve a gas into water. The length of the contact chamber is not as improtant as the time in the contact chamber. The desing of the inductor is important as well. The Massi inductor is generally recognized as an effective design.
Because ozone is a strong oxidant, some spa makers will turn it off when the large pumps come on.
