View Full Version : Hooking up Ozone - How did you do it?

I have been racking my brain to come up with an acceptable method for connecting an O³ generator to my ASM G3.
I thought I would throw this out there for some of the DIYers...

The ASM comes with a 3/8" air line for the venturi. The O³ generator comes with a 1/8" line. I would like to use the suction of the skimmer to pull O³ from the generator, but will hook up an air pump if necessary.

How do I connect the two without degrading the air flow to the skimmer?

I thought of this...

But then realized that the PVC would degrade over time.

Anyone have any ideas?

That will still work. Yes the pvc will degrade, but it will take quite a while (if you use schedual 80 it will be years).

But what is it leaching into the system in the meantime?

The PVC will not leak anything from the ozone, it will get very brittle
