Ozone Degas Vessel to remove bubbles

[AJB1234]

Hi TFP,

I installed an AOP (ozone) system that has a manifold valve the controls water flow. Before the system, my clean filter PSI was 17 and after installation of the AOP, my clean filter PSI is now 30. Post install, it runs at around 9 PSI on a lower pump speed. Is having a much higher PSI OK or is there a downside to this?

Thanks,

AJ

Which RPM and PSI are you normally running your pool at?

You happy with the flow out of your returns?

What benefit do you think the ozone system gives you?

Hi TFP,

Does anyone have experience with the Del MDV Degas vessel to remove bubbles from entering the pool when using an ozone system? Does it work?

Thanks,

AJ

Thanks for your help.
30 Filter PSI at Max pump speed = 3450 RPM
9 Filter PSI = 2000 RPM
Flow from returns seems fine but I would think more could always be better
Benefit= less chlorine and more contaminants removed from pool water

Those PSI are not bad for the RPM.

Good luck with the ozone system.

 

[AJB1234]

Ok. That makes me feel better. I assume I have a new baseline for a clean filter reading then?

Yup, anytime plumbing or equipment is changed the clean pressure PSI may change.

You need to follow the FC/CYA Levels at all times. Whatever water passes through the ozone unit will be sanitized at that moment. Unless you pump the pool to a holding tank, and back to the pool again through the unit, that water may never pass through the unit again due to mixing. As your other 34,999.8 gallons sit there with no residual sanitizer.

The 'you'll need less chorine' thing is bull feathers.

AJ,

You have been a member of TFP since 2015.

Curious why you decided to install an OZone system?

Thanks,

Jim R.

I'm confused. Your signature line says you're not using the Ozone UV device. Why would there still be bubbles?

Bought a new aop (ozone) system which is producing significantly more bubbles than the prior system. Thank you.

Why don't you want the ozone bubbles in the pool, isn't that their job? I was under the impression that ozone is a questionable (i.e. ineffective) sanitation method anyway. So, not sure why you would be running it at all.

Ozone definitely works very well. I'm married to a food microbiologist that has done this type of work for a living. Our goal is less chlorine and safer water and we are willing to pay more for that. We don't want bubbles in our pool since we have a neg edge pool and a glass tile bottom and the bubbles ruin the aesthetics. Clear Comfort AOP is very strong technology and their customers typically run their pools at drinking water chlorine levels.
