Hi Boret, thanks for the welcome and answers to my questions. As for pressure wouldn't a sealed or screw capped PVC tube do the same thing as the bolted top of the reactor dan built? As for adjusting the pressure in the reactor isn't that what the gauge is for you can monitor the pressure within the reactor using the gauge after you tweak the input/output of the water? Kind of a bummer about the read sea air dryer not working with the luft pump. I have an old ro/di cartridge i could mod pretty easy. As for the relief valve is there a switch on the valve or does it just let pressure out into the air around it? If so we would need a carbon output on that to get rid of any o3. I plan to add the bio bale and drip plates for the reactor i just have to find where to buy the bio bale locally if possible. I think the PVC can be pressurized and as for flow it can be calculated with some baic math after you determine how long it takes to fill 250ml from the output. Pics of the setup would be great too.

First off great thread i have been trying to come up with a simple design for a reactor and I think this will work just fine. I however plan to construct mine from PVC 4" tube. I have a few questions about the design and process. I have been reading up on Ozone and found the link to this set up for the MTC O3 Reactor set up and design. I totally understand that the pre and post carbon filters are going to be required. I just need to know exactly why the flow setup from the MTC design shows both air and water returning to the sump? I though only the water from the reactor would be returning to the sump after passing through a carbon filter? Dan, As for your design is the water flow coming in from the top of the reactor and dripping to the bottom output? If this is the design is there some sort of valve on the pressure nozzle or post carbon filter for what you created in the lid to keep it from expelling water? Finally would a small air dryer filled with carbon be significant for the water to pass through before retuning to the tank or should I make a larger PVC unit?
