A quick SWCG question

[bradburyesqu]

It is the Intex Ozone Saltwater Sanitizing System model zs8110. It can handle 1500 - 4000 GPH. I wasn't looking for the Ozone generator, but Walmart had it on sale and it was less expensive then the normal salt water unit.

My understanding was that copper only stained or turned hair green in high concentration. Am I mistaken?

As far as the Stabolizor, I was trying to get it to 20 PPM the HTH test can't test for less then 30 PPM. I can add more if it is necessary. But it I couldn't get a reading with the test.

So the Ozone has nothing to do with the amount of chlorine I need? I know that ozone can't replace chlorine but it was my understanding that it was a much better oxidizer and if you had both you could run your pool at significantly lower chlorine PPM and still be fine, because in standard set ups most of the chlorine went to oxidation. Am I completely confused here?

Yes, confused by deceptive marketing.

Ozone reacts destructively with chlorine -- it is worse than useless, applied to outdoor chlorinated pools without special contact chambers and a dechlorination / rechlorination process.

Well I guess I lied. I said this would be a quick question...

I just realized that could have been taken the wrong way. That wasn't an attack on anyone here. I appreciate all of the information. It was more a joke about my complete lack of knowledge on this subject.

I'm starting to feel like the more research I do the less I really know.

We knew what you meant. No worries.
