Along these lines, I would like to know if anyone has diy ozone generator?
maybe big enough to use on swimming pool also. Any electronics techs out
there with ideas? I am also a tech.

As to you chris, why run it 24 hours, would eat the bulbs fast that way.
And not do any better job. Best to check manufacturer's recommendations.
Just my thoughts

is it wise to run the UV steralizer 24 hours a day? assuming that you only
desire a 99.9% steralization rate you don't have to run the steralizer
that
much (depending upon gph through the steralizer and tank size). I've
read:

9.2 * (tank size / gph through steralizer) = hours a day UV steralizer
must
be on to attain 99.9% steralization rate (assuming uniform mixing). This
said my calculation is at most 7 hours a day, should I just run it for 8
hours a day and save my bulb life and power bill?

Should I run it 24 hours a day to achieve 99.999% steralization or for 8
hours a day?
