If you're into rainwater harvesting, you know that maintaining clean water in your storage tanks is essential. One effective way to achieve this is by using an ozone generator. In this post, we'll explore how to properly install an ozone generator inside a water tank, like a cistern, and ensure that your water stays fresh, free of algae, and safe from harmful bacteria.

Why Use an Ozone Generator?

Ozone generators are perfect for keeping rainwater clean without the use of harsh chemicals. Our recommended model, the JED 203, is designed specifically for this purpose. However, there's a small challenge: these generators can only pump ozone into water at a maximum depth of 4 feet. To overcome this, we've devised an innovative solution.

Introducing the Floating Tether System

To address the depth limitation, we offer a floating tether option. This clever addition is a floating ball attached to four feet of chain. This chain can be zip-tied to the air stone of the ozone generator. The air stone is responsible for delivering ozone into the water. With this setup, the air stone hangs precisely four feet from the top of your cistern, regardless of the water level.

How It Works

The floating ball allows the air stone to adjust with the water level, moving up or down as needed. This ensures consistent ozone injection into the water supply. Once set up, you can simply plug the ozone generator into a timer. Adjust the timer to run the generator every few hours for short durations. This regular infusion of ozone will help keep your water tank fresh, reducing algae growth and controlling bacterial levels.

Conclusion

Using an ozone generator with a floating tether system is an easy and efficient way to maintain clean water in your rainwater harvesting system. Whether you're a seasoned rainwater harvester or just starting, this setup can significantly enhance your system's functionality. Investing in a quality ozone generator can save you time and trouble in the long run, ensuring you always have access to clean, fresh water.

Easy peasy! Follow these straightforward steps, and your water tank will stay in optimal condition without any hassle.
