The 220/3 is rated to 400l so this should be no problem. Ozone only increases skimming in certain situations such as lots of fats or oils in the water which are interrupting the skimmer function. Otherwise ozone usually decreases skimming by breaking down skimmable compounds into smaller molecules the skimmer cannot remove. The plastic is considered ozone safe but my practical experience is in high doses all plastics become brittle over time when exposed to ozone.
