With ozone being hard on certain plastics, do you have any concern for the storage tank ? I ask as I would like to use ozone in two HDPE reservoirs that I circulate a fertilizer solution back to. An excellent video, I learned more in 15 minutes than the hours and days of looking at other videos.
I've been looking for a video exactly like this one. This has answered many questions for me. I'm in Mendocino County so the conditions here (redwood forest) are similar to yours. I'm wondering if the current restrictions on ozone generators in California are going to be a problem. I'm wondering if there might be much risk if I source these components from another state? Thanks for the video !!!
In this case, using O3 to remove iron from well water, the pH value need to be adjusted like when use resines... or in this case the pH value is not important to make work the O3 ???
I have a question concerning your system if you don’t mind…I had a 160 ft water well drilled and the water is terribly high in iron and manganese and coliform…I was thinking about a 250 gallon water storage tank to start the process since very little water is used…my question is…can I just use aeration at the top of the tank to turn the iron bacteria to a ferric state or do I have to use the ozone process? Once the ferrous iron and manganese turn ferric and sink to the bottum…I can then pump out the water from center of tank to then run thru filters and UV?
Alex, A Venturi creates suction that pulls the ozone gas from the module mixing w water supply. You mentioned that your “manifold” is acting as your ozone output; however, it doesn’t appear to be connected to the ozone cells. Can you explain to me how you are connecting your air supply to the ozone output?
Great video! Just one question... are those ozone modules ac 115v or DC 12v? I'm looking at running this setup on a gravity fed cistern and solar power. Thanks in advance!
@@nicks-fix does that mean one 110v cord ? i ordered the modules but don't have them yet, and am trying to work out how i need to build this Ozonator. hopefully i can use the supplied harness to daisy chain all the modules to a single standard plug...?
looks like that retro fit is now discontinued, so i ordered the newer modules that are in a set of three and look slightly different. BUT i just read the comment about how ambient air generates unhealthy nitrogen reactants, do you know if that's true? can u test this system to verify, please? also curious if u know, does output improve or performance remain consistent with the newer and discontinued Del modules?
Great video. Your learning curve, experience and clear explanation is much appreciated. How many Del modules required for a 9000 gallon cistern, home of five persons? Thanks.
The six APG ozone generators modules together produce 1 gram of ozone per hour. How did you determine to use six modules? How much Ozone (and modules) are necessary for a 5 thousand gallon cistern? Thanks.
Great video. Do you have any concerns that nitric acid and other semi oxygenated nitrogen by-products are generated by this zonation process? I'm told that these by-products can be hazardous.
I have a treatment system that starts with carbon and sand filter then a precision filter then RO then ozone and ozone mixing tank then UV then ss water tank ready for drinking , after the RO we make a line that let pass for some mineral water that doesn’t pass through RO so that we can get mineral water so that we get a water about 100 TDS to get a good taste water , the problem is after we ozonate the water there is no iron in water around 0.006 only but the water once ozonated is getting yellow color before ozone no yellow color how can we solve this problem?! If we installed a softener will the problem will be solved but the water will have sodium which is not good for water drinking?! What do you suggest ?!
Hi, I also live in the Santa Cruz mountains, so I suppose I should start by saying "Hi Neighbor". I am wondering why you can't use the water flow from the well pump that fills your big tank to make use of the venturi effect built into the ozone makers? In fact you could tie the power for the well pump to the ozone makers so that they only run when water is moving through thier venturi manifold. Also, can you tell us where you bought those filters from?
Be careful with with corona discharge units when supplying ambient-fed air, it should be pure oxygen. The problem with using ambient-fed air is that the nitrogen reaction produces nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide and nitrogen sulfate. These gases create a salt that, in time, will deteriorate the plasma field’s ability to produce ozone, not to mention are extremely unhealthy in drinking water if not filtered out
does anyone know if that is true or not? someone using these modules in, perhaps a HotTub, who has tested for nitrogen reactants? I just ordered these Del modules to treat & solve well water iron and iron bacteria problems. this comment certainly gives me pause, and i too would like to learn more, please?
I installed this system in July and 3 of the modules burned up after about 5 months. I know these don't last forever, but 5 months seems short. After they burned up the other modules were still producing ozone but it was leaking out through the melted modules, which oxidized everything in the box. I am also in the Santa Cruz Mountains, so I am wondering if this is a result of power surges before/after all the power outages this past year. Has anyone had similar issues?
I just received the ozone cells, but I can’t find any info anywhere about what voltage these run on. Are they running on 110V or do I need a power supply for different voltage?
Not yet, was thinking to try with 12V DC first, if it doesn’t do much then try 110V AC, which hopefully won’t burn it down. Looks like this ozone module isn’t in production anymore, but you can buy them from places that still have them in stock, but because of that there is no technical support available and couldn’t find technical info on its power requirements either.
@@norbertegi4258 In a moment of clarity I realized that Corona Discharge requires 20k+ volts. I imagine then that you'll need some sort of transformer for the power supply.
Jim Mutter I think it’s going to be 110V. That black cube is the power supply that generates the high voltage on the white wires. Check the attached photo on the review page of this product which uses the same module and requires either 110V or 220V. (The APG modules can work on either voltages.) Inside the box the wires go directly to the black box: www.amazon.com/dp/B01A1A6TMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XaHXEb8JTX78C
Great video Alex. Our water softener has finally died and looking at installing an ozonation system. Really like your DIY episode. I have a few questions: 1) Does the ozonator (and pond pump) run continuously? 2) Could you have had the ozonator in-line on the tank fill line? I.e.: used the venturis on the ozone generators and have the ozone injected as the tank fills, thereby only having the ozonator running while the tank fills? 3) Do you have figures on the quantity of iron and manganese before and after treatment? I ask because we have very high levels of both. BTW, we are also in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Howdy neighbor. :) Thanks!
Half of the ozone (O3) in the water will decompose into oxygen (O2) in about 30 minutes. In that 30 minutes the ozone is disinfecting the water. Ozone is bad for your fish. Oxygen is good for the fish.
you sound very knowledgeable in the water purification subject..i learned a lot from this video. thank you

Great video Alex. Very neat!
oh hey! it's Alex!
What power supply do you use and how are you connecting the silicon tube to the air stone?
Other commenters figured out that for these modules it’s 110v ac supplied to the leads.

You mentioned that your “manifold” is acting as your ozone output; however, it doesn’t appear to be connected to the ozone cells. Can you explain to me how you are connecting your air supply to the ozone output?
Not entirely sure but my understanding is he eliminates the venturi in favor of the pump.
We at Pure Water For All Foundation have been working on this problem for decades

The best way to remove iron from well water, is to install a rain water collection system.

Will ozone work to get rid of Calcium in water?
This is awesome. So it looks like you used 3 APG Ozone Modules treating a 5000 gallon tank if mine is 500 how many would it need?
Hey buddy, can you make this (degas separator belonging to mazzie) it will look cool and add to our knowledge

Well done video.
Hello, is this ozone generator specific to the tank size you have? Would we need to size down the ozone generator for a 1200-1500 gallon tank?
You can but it's not required.
Hey, I know this guy!!!
Be careful with with corona discharge units when supplying ambient-fed air, it should be pure oxygen. The problem with using ambient-fed air is that the nitrogen reaction produces nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide and nitrogen sulfate. These gases create a salt that, in time, will deteriorate the plasma field’s ability to produce ozone, not to mention are extremely unhealthy in drinking water if not filtered out
how did the sulfate get in there.
Hey there - do you have any references on this? Or some way to learn more. Thanks!

Yes it runs all teh time. You could use the venturi style but you get less interaction time vs a tank and diffuser.
Ozone Plus Bromide Equal Cancer?
@@dilipsinghchouhan3370 bromine alone kills thyroid and causes cancer and more.
New tongue twisters for my acting:
1) Your own home ozone system.
2) Corroded components corrupt corona discharge chips.
Why no answers to so many commenters' questions?
he is not obligate to do so..
What if its red....
Hi, do you drink water right after ozoning or wait few minutes?
You don't have to wait you can drink it right after.
Can I use ozone to eliminate moss from growing in my pond?
Will it hurt my fish?
