Aqua Medic Ozone Generator - no what I expected

[JC Pollman]

I bought an Aqua Medic ozone generator about a month ago, and have been quite pleased with it. It is very small in size and weighs next to nothing.

 

 

The manual says to take it apart once a month and clean it. So, I took off the metal plate that the air hoses hook up to - and was surprized to see that the only thing I could clean was a white plastic disk. After reading the manual again, apparently the disc is the only thing that needs cleaning. This is about as user friendly an object that I have come across in a long time.

When I used ozone 15 years ago, we used to have to clean a tube where the generation of charge took place.

The generation process left a lite pale yellowish powder residue inside the tube and on the probe that needed to be brushed off.

 

What did you find inside this unit?

You can not take it apart. Nothing to clean but the disc. And the air never "touches" anything but the disc.

I have an Ozonizer that is almost identical to the one JC has pi'd....I was told by the german based company I bought it from that it uses an elemental discharge (electrically created o3), where as the one your describing Chip sounds like corona discharge.
