Your pump system works great. I ran it for 6 months before changing the water, and I didn't have to, just felt like the right time. The pump system was all I ran alongside the ozone,; I'll be adding the peroxide based on this video too

Yes, our goal is to let when you change your water, be up to you, not forced. I think you will find that adding peroxide is a great addition. That level dropping is like a 6th sense for your water starting to harbor microbes.

Game changer for my plunge! Super hands off now.

Just received my Apex in the mail today, love it so far!

This pump and filter system is fantastic. I only change my filter every 2-3 months and it’s been 6 months since I got my plunge up and running and see no reason to change water yet. Crystal clear and clean. I do run my ozone about 2 hours a day tho. 30min at a time 4 times a day evenly spaced out.

Thank you for the positive feedback! I love hearing that our system makes your plunge maintenance easier.

Great video. Best one I’ve seen. Thank you

Looks very efficient, I'm buying now. Anxious to get it installed!

Fantastic video and products!

Thanks for the great video and products

Hey. This is really great. I’m curious. How can I use the set up for an Ice Barrel 500? Do you have a video of this set up for outside the tub?

This system is meant to drop into a plunge for submerged use. An external filtration loop will be quite a bit different in design. You can run it in an ice barrel, with the filter canister facing upwards, as long as you have a flat bottom for the pump to rest.

Great video, thanks for all the info in one place. You said you run ozone for 15min twice, is there any harm in running it longer, like if you run it 3 hours a day, is that bad in some way?

Thanks Terry! Probably not a lot of harm, in the short term anyway. It will put more ozone into the air around the plunge. Only an issue if it is inside. Also, any materials with less ozone resistance will age faster.

Great content and really informative. I plan on starting my build soon. I want to purchase your Apex filtration and pump set up but am confused as to which ozone generator to get? Everything I read says JED 303 is king but your website has a link to JED 003? What’s the difference. And is the 303 necessary over the 003 option. Also when the ozone isn’t running does it still suck in air through the Venturi?

@APEX.86

The 003 and the 303 have the same ozone output. The 303 is at a higher price point because it has a weatherproof housing and integrated air pump. Since the APEX86 system has a functional venturi, you don't need the air pump and can save some money. Yes, the venturi will continuously inject air. This is a benefit in keeping the water saturated with oxygen which helps suppress anaerobic microbes.

@@APEX.86 okay that makes sense. No need for the pump because of the Venturi. And since it doesn’t have a water proof housing I can just buy a bigger electrical housing and mount the device inside with my Inkbird, power strips and timers.

I ran with your setup for 6 months and had no issues. Just got back from a business trip and started seeing some murkiness. Figured it is a good time to replace the water, clean the pump and filter. What are you guys using to clean out your plunge when you replace the water?

@APEX.86

I'd give it a thorough brushing before draining. Then once drained, I'd put 70% alcohol in a spray bottle and mist the whole interior, keeping it wetted for a good 10 minutes or so. That should be very effective at sterilizing all the surfaces, books and crannies.

Is there anything special about the “ventruri”? Or is it just a nozzle with the ozone hose mixing water/ozone?

@APEX.86

It is much more than just a nozzle with an ozone port. It is a highly functional venturi, which does not significantly restrict flow. This lets you run a much simpler single flow path. Standard venturis are much too restrictive to run in this configuration.

Really great content, thank you! Just ordered a Grizzly 450 cooler to switch out my 100 gallon Rubbermaid trough. Think your minimalist filtration system will work set on bottom with filter turned up as you suggest? It would be without ozone with the silicone hose attached to the venturi. Any suggestions would be appreciated 😊

@@APEX.86 I know the pump needs to be completely submerged under water during use, but does the filter/filter holder need to be completely submerged also? The filter/filter holder sticks out of the water about 3-4 inches in my setup due to needing to leave room for water displacement while plunging.
