    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    Pool is still under warranty. This is the system recommended by the manufacturer, so it is not particularly helpful to suggest I rip out the whole system and try something different. Moreover, how is it that ozone generators (which must be upstream of the filter) and tablet feeders (which must...

    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    I noticed late last week that the Nature2 technician had actually sabotaged the QuickPure3 (crimped the ozone tube) to make it appear the Fusion unit was working correctly and not forming a gas bubble. I am now in contact with the manufacturer of the QuickPure3 to find out if they are aware of...

    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    Is it possible that residual 02 from the O3 generator is accumulating in the Nature2 and forming Chlorine Dioxide gas? If so, how can I avoid this? If I reduce the flow through the Nature2 (there is a bypass valve) will that make the problem better or worse? What if I rigged an air bleed...

    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    The "mayonnaise" that was building up inside the Nature2 Fusion Inground finally got to the point that it was impossible to separate the tab feeder cannister from the cap. Warranty service arrived to replace the cannister and cap. The technician's assessment was as follows: (1) the o-ring...

    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    That was the conclusion of the guy at Leslies - chorine gas attacking the O-ring. Armed with that advice I always run the pump for a minute or two after adding tablets to the tablet chamber to try to purge the air from the chamber - unfortunately to no avail. It seems the design, which will...

    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    It shows as part 6, 8 in my exploded view (O-ring, large collar) and is part of kit R0502300, so it is not even supplied separately. Yes I am lubing it. The failure is not typical of an O-ring being pinched. Instead, the lower part of the O-ring swells and forms a million little cracks that...

    Nature2 Fusion eats o-rings

    Has anyone else experienced problems with a Nature2 Fusion eating the o-ring that is under the chlorine injector cap? The pool supply store says that I have an air leak. The pool builder says the tiny bubbles I see in the returns are from the O3 generator. I tried replacing the o-ring with an...
