Katalox + Clack + Ozone = success!

[Skyjumper]

I have FINALLY found a winning combination for my Fe filter. 3 months ago I finally broke down and put a Clack Ozone valve on my KL tank and haven't had a trace of Iron (or H2S) coming out the filter since. I've been drinking the water straight out of the filter, before the softener, and it is delicious. frankly I probably don't need the softener anymore.

This filter started out as a Fleck 5000 AIO with catalytic carbon. That combination never worked and turned into a huge mess. a little over a year ago I put katalox in the tank and it worked for about 5 days. I had been cleaning the KL every 6 weeks with bleach, iron out, and rescare with mediocre results at best (0.8ppm leakage).

in a move of desperation I dropped $400 on the Clack Ozone valve from a local dealer, and it has been the best 400 bucks I have ever spent... so far. Zero, zilch, absolutely no iron at all coming out the filter on a 2 day backwash cycle. Still the same KL that was in it before, but now it actually works.

iron filter nirvana it is. now I just need to learn how to maintain the corona discharge unit.

Corona discharge unit is ozone machine, do you know? We are a ozone equipment factory from China, please reach to me, should you have any question about ozone machie, ozone disinfection,.

I cant believe this thread died here.. I really want to change my Katalox AIO to Ozone.. I am only treating H2S and no Iron. ITs does OK as long as Its followed with my Catalytic carbon tank to scrub the remaining smell. However I do have to periodically do a chlorine backwash as I can still smell H2S from the test port immediately after the Katalox.
I am reluctant to change to the Clack head since I have to change all the plumbing behind it cause it wont match up to the existing 2510 AIO.

I wish I could just add the Ozone to the existing valve.

Agreed. Wondering exactly what valve and generator OP used?

I have H2S issue and my Katalox AIO gets chlorine periodically as well. I want to do the Ozone but was a bit lazy since I have Fleck Valves on my tanks.. I wanted plug and play swap. If I install the Clack I need to re-plumb the lines.. I know.. Lazy..

How is this setup holding up? I may just cave and do the Clack if Fleck still has not caught up with the times yet..
