Can we control an Ozonizer with the APEX?

[zweebe]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if we can control an Ozonizer with the APEX 2016 and the Energy Bar? I guess we could but not sure as I never use an ozonizer and I'm thinking about use it. Are anybody use it with the APEX and would share your code?

Thanks!

Yes, I do, with an Ozotech Poseidon 220 ozone generator. I push air through an air dryer and on to the ozonizer with an air pump that is on the same EB outlet as the ozonizer; they turn on and off together. I monitor ORP at two locations, in the sump after the skimmer/ozonizer, and in the overflow returning from the tank. Here's my code; I've tweaked it quite a bit and the purpose of some of it may not be entirely obvious. Basically, it turns the ozone on when orp is below a certain level on the sump probe, and also gives a small pulse of ozone for 5 minutes every 4 hours. If I want to give a 20 minute burst of ozone, I have a manual output configured to do that; just toggle it on and back off. However if for whatever reason the orp reading on the sump probe or the overflow probe is above certain higher levels, these actions are cancelled. Ozone is also turned off during feeding (FeedA & B), and during and for 1 hour after maintenance tasks like water changes (FeedC & D). Ozone is also off when the return pump is off, the skimmer is off, or there is a power outage lasting more than 5 minutes.



Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/005:00/235:00 Then ON
If ORP < 455 Then ON
If Output FeedCDLok060 = ON Then OFF
If Output Ozone020 = ON Then ON
If ORP > 470 Then OFF
If ORP2 > 380 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
If Output Skimmer = OFF Then OFF
If Output ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF
If Output PowerOut5Min = ON Then OFF

I suggest starting with the ORP Control type. Choose the EnergyBar outlet you plugged the generator into, the in the Control Type field, choose "ORP Control", then enter the high and low ORP values you want to maintain the ORP range within. No programming required.

Thank you guys :-)

I got different way to make the control, that's great! :-)
