Looking forward to a chiller-based video! I'm getting ready to build a chiller/filter/ozone setup and would love to hear recommendations on which ozone generator is most suitable for in-line ozone adding as well as whether a given ozone generator for such a system should be run continuously or on a timer as you recommend here for the chest freezer setup.

Hi there! 1st of all thank you so much for your content! Has helped a lot on my DYI project. I cannot use Ozone generator (Indoors / Kids in the house) so I would like to know if it would be ok to combine UV with sporadic use of Hydrogen peroxide. I thought that this could be a good safe option but I didn't find any recommendation as such. UV could be running continuously for quality maintenance while the food grade Peroxide would be used sporadically. Please advise.

My chest freezer cold plunge has an aluminum liner. Will using an ozone generator have any adverse effects with the aluminum? I read online that it may discolor the aluminum and I am fine with that. As long as there’s nothing else super crazy that will happen. Thanks in advance

@JohnRichterAustin

8 ай бұрын

You have a larger problem than ozone to worry about. Impurities in the aluminum can react with water and corrode. If you want your chest freezer to last long term, install one of the recommended liners. See this article: chestfreezercoldplunge.com/4-liners/ In the air, ozone can discolor aluminum. Under water, it can seriously degrade / weaken it. All of the liner option I recommend are compatible with ozone and other sanitation methods.

Ozone is only one part of the setup. You also need a circulation pump and sediment filter. See my other videos in this series for details. The JED 303 ozone generator has a built-in air pump that pushes ozone through the airstone. For countries outside of the US, I ship 240v ozone generators with pigtails (3 bare wires). You can buy a grounded (3-prong) replacement plug from any local hardware store or online and attach it to the bare wires. You usually only need a screwdriver to do this. Then it will plug into your outlet.

I suppose you could, but it's not really necessary with the very small amount of ozone being generated during the short period of time it is being run. Also, ozone is heavier than air, so the only way to vent it out would be to create a suction / vacuum and that could get complex to set up.

Possible but definitely not recommended. 1. The pump is not designed to send enough ozone through additional tubing and the split may not be equal. 2. If the airstone in one tub gets clogged up, it will create a pressure differential that could damage the pump. The best practice is to have one ozone generator per tub/tank.

What you're saying doesn't match my experience with hundreds of people over the years. The pump will burn out on that kitchen unit. The companies that make them say they are unsuitable for cold plunges. If the JED wasn't working, it is very likely it wasn't set up correctly. Every single one I have sold since 2018 has worked great when it is set up correctly. When you buy a JED from a company that doesn't know how to set them up with a cold plunge, there are likely to be issues.

Ok here is what I don't understand. If the cheap ozone machine can only go 4 inches down in the water, why not just put it 4 inches down in the water, have the water circulating a bit, and leave it on longer. This expensive one, you're only leaving on for 30 minutes each day anyway. These cheaper ones also put out way more ozone so if you have the top down, the ozone should also build up in the air inside the tub and absorb back into the water?
