Ozone and air purifier

[Clownreef]

Hi all!

So after lots of research Ive decided to install a Poseidon 200 ozone generator into the intake of the skimmer. Ive read of different people putting activated carbon on top of the skimmer lid so air can vent through the carbon.

Im thinking about putting a small air purifier inside the sump to run when the ozone generator kicks on. HEPA filter, etc.

Any thoughts of this?

I used the carbon method - and it didn't work well lol.
Make sure that the air purifier you're using removes ozone. Some air purifiers USE ozone in addition to purification. I had one of those -- and the smell of ozone was far higher than when I was using an ozone generator.

Thank you! It does. Specifically mentions ozone removal. It's a small desktop air purifier.

Are you still using ozone? How is it working out for you?

Thank you!

i run the ozotech air dryer and thier posidon 400 ozone generator. I use carbon on top of my skimmer and the skimmer effluent dumps into carbon. It works just fine.

No - I found it to be a hassle - actually - I use an oxydator now - with identical (as far as I can see) - results - and much less maintenance. I found the main problem in our household was controlling it (i.e. the odor).

you must have had a defective ozonizer, mine does not smell at all like you describe.
i bet you had a crack in the housing somewhere leaking ozone.

I'd love to see an image of your setup whenever you have a chance (thanks in-advance).
