Removing ozone setup

[1776]

Hello all,

After 2 years of having my system, I had the nipple on my ozone system break. I had decided when the system stopped working I was going to remove it. I capped the nipple, and disconnected the ozone generator. But here on the return is the Venturi device. I want to remove the setup from my plumbing, but I am unsure if I need a one way valve or not. As you can see on my spa return there is a one way elbow. Can I just remove the Venturi and replace it with 2” pipe? Or should I add a one way clapper as well on the pool return?

Thanks for any help!

You need a one-way valve between your heater and your chlorinator. All else may be removed.

The beauty of removing that Ozone system is that it does just about the same thing whether it is connected or not.

I’ve noticed that since removing it I don’t have to add about a gallon of muriatic acid a week. So that’s a plus.
