Man i wished i had seen this video before ordering all my filtration and sanitation supplies! Dont get me wrong my stuff is working good but for the money i spent this would have been a more efficient way espesially with the vacuum. I followed Joe Lewis video on setting up my cold plunge to a T and its working great! But it has a few extra parts in the cold plunge plus the pump does not move near as much as your pump set up! I plan to purchase your set up when mine starts to fail! Thanks for the video

Lars, have you thought about 3D printing a base plate for the Danner 1200 to clip into, to make the mount more stable than the foam pads it come with. If you do, i would buy one in WHITE so it disappears.

Hey Lars, I’ve got a roughly 1200gph pump as well but it goes through pvc clear tubing straight into a 20 micron water filter and housing. Is a Y bypass absolutely necessary to reduce the flow through the filter media? I’m worried the pump might be too strong for the filter. I’d prefer not to mess around with it as I’ve already got it setup and I’m not super handy, flexible pvc tubing is easier to work with

Is yours not the same situation? If so, did you rig something up for that too?

You really need a proper venturi if you want to inject ozone into the flow. Otherwise, it tends to push water into the ozone tube. Also, keeping ozone out of the filter will probably increase its life. I'm not entirely sure that the housing modification is necessary. It was dumb not to retest everything with a filter element installed. It could really change the results.

I can't see a good reason not to use the venturi, even if your ozone generator has an air pump. The venturi will continuously inject tiny air bubbles, which will oxygenate the water, keeping it more fresh and suppressing microbial growth. Plus, you will get more effective ozone dissolving when you do run it. Pushing all the pump flow to the filter alone has been known to clog up filters too.

@APEX.86

11 ай бұрын

It is because pumps like this are designed to push against a restriction, not pull through one. The pumping efficiency drops significantly when there is low pressure at the inlet. It can also cause cavitation, which can damage the pump. Also, to run a venturi, you still need a parallel path on the outlet side, with a restriction to drive flow through the venturi. So, the whole design falls apart trying to run the filter before the pump. These are pond pumps, so they are designed to be able to easily pass small debris. The biggest issue we have in our application, is that hair can get wrapped around the impeller. I guess I am due to make a new video, because for a while I have been using a high flow pre-filter design: apex86.square.site/product/danner-pump-high-flow-pre-filter/17 This pre-filter is very free flowing to avoid the problems I mentioned above, but super effective at catching hair and fuzz, keeping it out of the impeller and extending the life of the main filter. You just lift the pre-filter off and wipe it clean before each plunge.

Did you just drill a small outlet hole on the end cap(3/4” cap) on the end of the leg with the ozone injector? Or is it more elaborate than that? I’ve asked a ton of questions here. If you don’t have time to address them no worries, just curious as I’ve seen Venturi tubes made for herb gardening but it was much more elaborate to create a turbulent effect and I’m not seeing much so I’m assuming toward the end of the pipe or cap you’ve drilled a hole to allow the ozone to be introduced to the water. Also assuming that hole is what’s creating the turbulence in this video considering no ozone is being injected on this video.

@@Payton77 If you look at the beginning of the video, you'll be able to see my custom venturi injector: apex86.square.site/product/venturi-ozone-injector/13 That is where ozone and air are pulled into the system using the venturi effect. The other short leg on the floor is just capped.

@@APEX.86 so is it impossible to create that oxygenation without ozone? I’m not using and won’t be using ozone at all. I’m not a fan of it while my stuff is in the garage. I have far too much gym equipment and cardio equipment to have any of that in there. Some aren’t concerned but I’m not going that route, I use clear choice spa drops but was highly intrigued by the oxygenation alone.

Do you have a total parts list and prices.

No, I designed these all to be nice tight slip fits. They hold together very well and can still be disassembled for cleaning or reconfiguration. I haven't tested PVC cement, but given that PLA is a completely different composition, I doubt it would work.

Hey Lars. I copied your setup almost exactly. I have the Danner 1200 and the GE home filter, wye splitter, venturi injector and JED203. I put a quarter cup of food grade hydrogen peroxide every couple weeks like you suggested and for whatever reason after about a month my water got cloudy. The whole system shuts off from 8am to 8pm. We don't use it or open it during this time. We shower off before getting in and are diligent in cleaning it. Not sure where I went wrong. I just changed the water out completely. Hope this time is better. Any speculation as to why I'm having this issue?

How often do you clean your filter and brush the walls of the freezer? 12 hours is a long time to shut everything off. I would start with a much shorter off period and after it stays clean for longer, slowly increase it. What strength peroxide? I would get test strips so you can actually tell how many PPM is in your water.

I clean my filter every 10 days to 2 weeks. And clean the walls about as often. I haven't noticed any slimyness at all. Even in the corners. I am using 3% peroxide.

@@andrewmccarthy4437 That amount of peroxide likely isn't doing much of anything. I use 35% and add a 2 oz dose occasionally. That is equivalent to about 3 cups of 3%. Get some test strips so you can see the PPM and keep it around 30-40. What is your ozone schedule?

@APEX.86 Hey Lars! I appreciate all your R&D efforts, and thanks for selling your solutions! I have 2 questions for you: 1) Do you suspect any negative consequences to pulling oxygen through an ozone generator that is off? Is it just an open system that allows air to pass through while the O3 pump is off? Since it's pulling through the system, is it drawing on some of the components in the O3, providing the venturi something other than just oxygen? 2) With your outlet from the pump split, do you have a sense of how much is flowing through the filter vs the venturi? Thanks for your help! I've been using your Marineland attachments, but it's time for me to upgrade to the Danner.

@APEX.86

There should be no issues at all. It's really just like pulling through a spa style ozone generator, just additionally sucking through the air pump. When ozone is not powered you are just pulling air through the system. I'm not sure the exact proportions, and it changes as the filter loads up. The majority is flowing through the filter though.

@@stuartford1846 Yes, on the tapered part of the rim, and I also notched a tiny ledge on the lid. You can use some clay to make a ozone tube sized snake, drape it over the rim, close the lid, then check where the pinch points are. Make changes and repeat until the path is clear.

I think I found a workaround. The pump will just sit on the cord. Don’t like that but looking like the only way.

Hi Lars. Congrats con the excelent video. Big fan. I was wondering how worry or cautious should I be regarding the ventilated area where I have my chest freezee because of the ozone. I have it in a room with 2 windows, but in that room my kids play and do some activities during the evening somedays. Another thing is, how long after the ozone runs for 30-60 minutes with the cover on should you open it and go for an ice bath? All the best Alex

@APEX.86

I would be cautious. If your freezer seal is good, it will hold the extra ozone in pretty well. To be really safe, you could buy an ozone meter from Amazon to measure and decide how much ventilation you need.
