Air vents are an important part of any ozone water system. They help to remove off-gassed ozone and air from the system, which can prevent corrosion and improve the overall performance of the system.
There are two main types of air vents for ozone water systems:
- See-through air vents: These vents have a clear bowl that allows you to see the water level in the tank and visually indicate ozone off-gassing.
- Stainless steel air vents: These vents are made entirely of stainless steel, making them more corrosion resistant than see-through air vents.
Choosing the right air vent for your ozone water system
When choosing an air vent for your ozone water system, it is important to consider the following factors:
- Ozone concentration: Air vents are typically rated for a maximum ozone concentration. Make sure to choose an air vent that is compatible with the ozone concentration of your system.
- Chemical compatibility: Some air vents are not compatible with certain chemicals. If you are using any chemicals in your ozone water system, be sure to choose an air vent that is compatible with those chemicals.
- Flow rate: Air vents are also rated for a maximum flow rate. Make sure to choose an air vent that has a flow rate that is greater than the flow rate of your system.
Installing an air vent
To install an air vent, follow these steps:
- Turn off the ozone generator and water supply to the ozone water system.
- Drain the water from the ozone contact tank.
- Remove the old air vent, if there is one.
- Install the new air vent in the same location as the old air vent.
- Tighten the air vent to the tank.
- Turn on the ozone generator and water supply to the ozone water system.
Maintaining an air vent
Air vents should be inspected and cleaned regularly. To inspect an air vent, look for any signs of corrosion or damage. If the air vent is corroded or damaged, it should be replaced. To clean an air vent, disassemble it and clean all of the parts with a mild soap and water solution. Once the parts are clean, reassemble the air vent and reinstall it on the ozone contact tank.
Conclusion
Air vents are an important part of any ozone water system. By choosing the right air vent for your system and maintaining it properly, you can help to ensure the long-term performance of your system.
