Precision Marine debuts Ozone Reactor

By Brian Blank on Nov 30, 2010

Precision Marine is coming out with a new Ozone Reactor that can be used with a venturi or air-driven setup to mix the ozone with the inbound water. With skimmers becoming turbulent, high-turnover skimming monsters driving ozone through it doesn’t give a lot of time for the ozone to react and oxidize the organic compounds. The Ozone Reactor gives you a method to integrate ozone into your system where you get the maximum water and ozone mixture to do its magic. By using plastic bioballs to tumble the water through, the ozone is given a maximum amount of time to react with the aquarium water.

The overall dimensions of the O3 reactor is 6 in. in diameter and 24 in. tall using an overall footprint of 8.75 in. The outlet drain is controlled by a 1/2 in. ball valve and is recommended for use with a 500 GPH pressure rated pump. The Precision Marine O3 reactor is already in production and beginning to ship. The minimum advertised price is $297 for the unit. A quick video of the O3 reactor is after the break.

I like ozone reactors, but plastic bioballs are only going to last a couple of months before turning to brittle bits. Ceramic bio media would be better, although heavy to ship.

That is a horrible video, love the star wars closing credits tho.

Yeah…. sorry about the video. I just wanted to get something up. Will work on another one. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. -Mike

Who cares about the video quality? I am glad that PM is innovating and bringing new products to the market. Keep up the good work Mike!

the bioballs should be fine, I’ve been running them in my ozone reactor for over a year

I wish this were closer to $200 though… At this price its in direct competition with the MTC ozone reactor which still looks to be the better reactor.

I like this but would like to see some mods

Importantly a carbon stage for removing residual ozone, however a UV on the outlet will have a far greater effect

As long as the bio balls are ABS or similar they will be fine

Nice job though

Put a port in for an ORP probe. Its good to know what the ORP in the reactor is vs. the system. Ozone should be injected post pump with a venture (kynar injectors are more stable)

We could have all the bells and whistles, but in an effort to make this a high quality, affordable…..emphasis on affordable unit, we’ll leave it as is. However, we can add more features as an upgrade.

Wrong place for an ORP probe, you need to monitor the ORP of the tank not the reactor where you will have sky high ORP.

Most important thing of any reactor should be the ability to break down residual Ozone prior to release into the tank and more importantly air.

To fully understand what happening in an ozone reactor one must know the ORP inside the reactor.

I always look forward to new PM products. Mike always makes great stuff, and I’m sure this will be no exception.

No need for a probe, plus there is only an inch of water in the bottom of the reactor.
Is this venturi driven or is an air pump required to for ozone supply? Also is a good check valve included? The problem with a venturi driven injection system is finding one that will pull air past a good check valve. If you use a cheap check valve whats the point.
