My Red Sea unit quit putting out ozone a while back. I ended up disassembling the unit and cleaned out the corona discharge chamber with DI water. The amount of dirt that came out was really surprising. The unit had been in service for only one year. Before turning the unit back on I ran air through it for 36 hours. Once cleaned it ran just fine and now produced ozone as if it were new. Perhaps your unit simply needs cleaning. To test it out you can simply pull the outley hose off of your unit and give it the smell test. It should be obvious if it is working or not.

FWIW, I run the recommended Luft pump and could never achieve the 2 lpm (or was it cfm?) that Avast recommends. In the end it doesn't seem to matter. I can maintain any ORP level that I choose with a 50 mg/hr unit.
