I need to replace this plastic piece which goes up and down up and down then has a barb output on it. Does anyone know what it's called? It is about a foot tall and foot long...

A bit sketchy information but let me guess, ozonater.
-
I'm not sure what it's called. All it has is 1 inlet and 1 outlet barb fitting and looks like it goes up and down and up and down. Couldn't I just bypass it?
-
Another thing is there's no electrical going to it, just the 2 barb fittings.
-
Picture?
-
That's gotta be one of the strangest questions I have ever read here. Pic's please..

Yea bypass it let us know what happens.

Well I can't figure out on how to attach s stinking pic...

Host your pictures on a web hosting site (photo bucket) as an example. Then copy and paste the link here.
Maybe it's a check valve?

Here's a pic

Fixed it for you. Looks like maybe it is a mixing chamber for ozone.

Plus one. ;)

A mixing chamber for ozone??? How's that when there's just the 2 openings? Seems to me the water just goes up and down s couple times is all.
-
Ozone is injected BEFORE the chamber...then the ozone infused water goes through the mixing chamber.
-
So could I just bypass this with s straight piece of hose?
-
The longer the ozone is in contact with water the better it works. If you bypass it and use simply hose it will shorten the length. Thereby reducing O3 molecules effectiveness at killing bacteria. Is it leaking? Measure it out and put that much hose in, but it's messier. Do you rely on ozone? How old is the O3 generator? What method do you use to sanitize? What kind of filtration system?
Lot going on here but yes you could bypass it.
-
Ok I understand that, but do you suppose I could just bypass that chamber with a piece of hose?

Yes absolutely!

yes I found s leak, the plastic had a crack in it. The tub itself is probably 6 years old. As far as the sanitizing, were planning on trying out this new chemical called silk and seeing how it works.

Silk Balance? If so save your time and money...its a high margin product that doesn't do much, it's not a sanitizer, it doesn't balance pH or clean filters. It's mineral based and softens the water a bit but is completely unnecessary and doesn't really replace any of the traditional chemicals you'll need
