You could also try letting it overflow into a cup, pull the drain plug and run the overflow into a 5 gallon bucket. This is a trick I always do when I'm trying to pull out any meds/chemicals in the tank that overflows the skimmer after the treatment is done. |

Can anyone tell me the size of tubing (ID) that will fit over the ozone port of a DC 150? Trying to get my ozone set up this weekend.
Thanks

I got the ozone generator set up over the weekend. I'm using a Ozotech Posideon 200 ozone generator. My ORP seems to rise slowly and the generator has been running continuously since this weekend. I was thinking it would not have to run continuously as my tank is only 70 gallons.
I know the skimmer pumps pulls in the ozone, but has anyone had to use an air pump on the air dryer to push more ozone. I have used a pump in the past when using an ozone reactor but thought it would not be needed when using the skimmer set up. I would think this would push too much air in the skimmer and cause it not to operate as efficiently.

My ORP was 340 when I started. And this morning it was 378. So looking at increase of 38 points over roughly 2 weeks

I have less than a year under my belt using ozone but I may have a few suggestions for you.
It makes a big difference where your ORP probe is placed in comparison to where your ozone injection is. I had the probe sampling water in a remote refugium initially and the numbers didn't move quickly. It took much more time as it dissipates. Moved it into the sump and just down stream of where the ozone exits the skimmer and immediately saw much higher values when ozone was on. Then the values would drop quickly when turned off. If the probe isn't near your source, your numbers tend to reflect the fact that the ozone depletes quickly and the overall tank (and refugium) isn't really getting inundated with ozone. If you take your skimmer cover off while ozone is running, you should be able to smell the ozone. Its a very noticeable smell. At what level do you have your controller set to turn off your ozone? I'd check that.

I have run ozone before but always used an ozone reactor. This is the first time I have used a skimmer to inject my ozone into it.
I would expect the amount of ozone measured coming out of the skimmer to be the highest levels as the ozone is injected there. This would not be a true reading of the tank in my opinion. I think having the probe in another location away from the exit of the skimmer would give a more true reading of the tank ORP. When I take the skimmer cover off, their is a faint smell of ozone. This lead me to ask if an air pump is needed to get more ozone into the skimmer. My Apex is set to turn off ozone at 390.

I Have a Bubbleking Mini 180 that I bought new from you. This skimmer was a little loud when I first got it and it is slowly getting louder. It has a terrible vibration that is easily heard thru the basement and first floor. If I removed the air it is silent. Once air is added it gets a terrible vibration. I have checked the bushing in the rear multiple times. I have taken this skimmer apart multiple times and I am extremely frustrated. How loud is this skimmer supposed to be, as I thought Bubblekings were supposed to be quiet. I need to send this to you so you can look at this. I have had many skimmers thru the years, and this is one of the loudest. The skimmer is in 8 1/2 inched of water currently. The water depth appears to have no effect on the noise. I also have a DC180 and that skimmer is dead silent.

Scott will reach out to you... we’ll get you taken care of!

No. I did not see a red ozone tube.

Try plugging the ozone port on the pump and see if it persists or connect tubing to the ozone port to see if pulling air in there helps. With the ozone port uncapped, you are pulling both air and water into the venturi chamber within the nozzle so capping the port off so it can’t draw water or adding tubing to the port so it can draw air could solve it as this could be the result of cavitation cause by both air and water entering the venturi chamber within the nozzle. Also, with that port open to draw water, you will get excessive salt creep in the venturi port where the silicone air tubing connects to the nozzle.
