Good Ozone generator?

Does anyone have any input about what is a good brand oz gen? Looking at ozotech jr. or red sea aquazone. Also I have a reefkeeper elite to control redox.

+1 On Ozotech... Went through a red Sea with issues. The Ozotechs run nicely without an air dryer and they are easier to self-service..

Another big proponent of Ozotech. Have owned several other brands and the quality of the Ozotech puts the others to shame. They also have great service. I had a check valve fail and destroyed the discharge tube in my Ozotech unit when it flooded. They shipped me a new discharge tube for about $60 and it was easy to change out. Now the unit runs as good as new.

I am using an Enaly and it works great. Shipped from China, but it was very inexpensive, looks well built, and has been working perfectly for over 6 months. I had a Red Sea before that and had nothing but problems with it.

Ozotech here. The Jr. is non-adjustable. Might as well spend a little more and get the Poseidon.

I'm new to ozone and I'm considering starting it. How often do you have to replace those dessicants?

I don't use a dryer with my ozotech... I just up the mg/hr a bit to compensate for humidity. I'm not sure if you can get away with this practice with the other units out there.

I have a red sea and it works well. The key is to size them properly to your system. If I were to do it over though I would use my AC3 to control a Sanders ozonizer. Much cheaper.

Go for a high quality unit from the beginning and never worry again. You never read a bad review for Ozotech. Do some searching and you will get mixed reviews for enaly and red sea units. Sander also makes quality units, and Aqua medic makes them but I haven't looked into those.
