Ozone generator Tubing question

nauti1us · 07/29/2009, 09:26 AM

Looking for advise regarding what kind(s) of tubing will work with an ozone generator.

I just bought a roll of surgical grade latex tubing from Home Depot. They didn't have any silicone tubing in stock.

Will latex work and if so are there any limitations..?

not sure about latex, the only thing that will happen is that it will harden and crack prematurely. how much do you really need, and then buy Ozone safe tubing - excess Ozone in "your" atmosphere can be harmful to your health.

The silicone tubing at pretty much any LFS works just fine thats what I use.
