Holy cow! With all due respect, the point of having an Ozonator is to be able to run 60-70 percent lower levels of chlorine because chlorine is no longer being used as an oxidizer which eats up your chlorine.
You should be maintaining .5 - 1.0 tops.
I learned that from the rep at Leslie's Pools. They even notated my account by adding _Ozone to my first name in their system so they would remember I had an Ozonator when checking my parameters and giving me my recommendations sheet.
I don't get why everyone poo poos Ozonator's on this forum.
Here is a list of all the things that the manufacturer of the UltraPure says you won't need.
Shock Treatments
Scale Inhibitors
Clarifiers
Scum Line Cleaners
Algaecides
Scents
Filter Aids
Filter Degreasers
Guess what, I don't use any of the above products and my pool is crystal clear with a constant .5 chlorine level in the hot sun off Houston, Texas.
We'll we do shock if someone throws up in it.... Don't ask. Ewww...
I lost 0.6 PPM, went from 5.6 to 5.0
